This song is from Jake Etheridge's most recent album, released in 2016. The listed strumming 
pattern works for almost the entire song, but there are a few times in the intro, 
instrumentals, and outro where it changes slightly. I recommend listening to the song and 
playing along with it. I did this entirely by ear, so it's not perfect, but it's definitely accurate.
