I wrote this song almost 10 years ago at a time when I was very frustrated with the lyric quality of country music I was hearing on the radio. I told myself “surely you can do better than this stuff about tailgates, big tires, bikini's, and beers” (though I do like beer:).

This song is a relationship breakup song - and I realized it is autobiographical. This song was about my breakup with country music - it’s a complicated relationship to say the lease.
Written for my 25th wedding anniversary. It’s a love song—but not a fairy tale. It's about real stuff - hard days, grace, and the quiet strength of working through life together and still choosing each other every morning.
