Songfacts®:

  • Lawrence told Billboard magazine that this haunting track from his Headlights, Taillights and Radios LP, "talks about where I'm going isn't where I've been before." He added; "I just felt it was a great traveling song. There's some things on this album that are about being something of a free spirit or a gypsy. Growing up, when I dreamed about doing this for a living, it wasn't about being rich or playing sold-out arenas. I had this mental picture about wanting to be on the bus and live a lifestyle. It was more about the lifestyle. I just wanted to ride the bus. That kind of coincides with a lot of these songs."
