Ahead of Memorial Day, Darius Rucker joined Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show to thank the brave men and women fighting for our freedom.

Darius and Jimmy sang "Only Wanna Thank the Troops," a parody version of Hootie & the Blowfish's "Only Wanna Be with You," for the all-military Fleet Week audience.

Rucker also sang his latest single "For The First Time."

Rucker and Lady Antebellum are both co-headlining the Summer Plays On Tour, coming to the Xfinity Center this September.
