captures the feeling of pulling a trailer at night to some faroff town for next-day delivery ... you can almost feel the cold clear desert air whispering past the cab as the headlights illuminate a seemingly endless dusty highway ...
i trucked 4 over 11yrs ...brain injury from a fall . stopped that and no life what so ever.....! just quit in aug..2011.... was n a very bad place when this song came out.....!
@antalamo Been there brother. I had to come off the road. It made me a drunk and a dope head. It's a very lonely place, the road. I will never go back God willing!!!!!!!!
got this on my mp3 player, helps work fly by. Except they caught me on video "bee-boping" to it..Was kinda embarrassed but hey.. its a good song..lolz
I grew up listening to Dwight Yoakam and still enjoy his music. I also love any country music from the 80's and 90's, it's the best music that has ever been released. Today's country can't hold a candle to this music. What ever happened to country music?
@Daddygeezee On the road with the windows down, your world as big as the headlights see. pushing back the darkness til light gets the upper hand and reveals to you the land. You've been thru the dark, A thousand miles from nowhere.
I hate country music with a PASSION!!! This is not that "pop" excuse for country they sell now days. This is just great music by a great guitarist with an oddly angelic voice.
My 16 year old daughter has a wide variety of music taste. Lately she's been listening to some country (which made me very happy) and I told her, if you're gonna listen to country music you had better add Dwight to your catalog because he is THE MAN.
Got to see this concert and I was so star-struck that everyone at work the next day asked if I was in love with someone! I told em "hell yeah - Dwight Yoakam!"
fantastic song by Dwight . one of the best song's he sang.. sends shivers up your spine .. Where did he disappear.. come back Dwight ..

I still can't believe this is "Doyle" from Slingblade. Yoakam played the part too well. I still can't put that character with this voice...
