I love this meaning behind this song. It's very melancholy & a story that is too often pushed aside by the public. A lot of fathers out there are separated from their children, and the public sees them as deadbeat dads no matter the circumstances. That is simply not the truth. There are plenty of dads out there who WISH they could see their children more, and I think this song does great justice to that emotion.
Highway 20 Ride
Lyrics
I ride east every other Friday but if I had it my way
A day would not be wasted on this drive
And I want so bad to hold you
Son, there's things I haven't told you
Your mom and me couldn't get along
So I'll drive
And I'll think about my life and wonder why
That I slowly die inside
Every time I turn that truck around right at the Georgia line
And I count the days and the miles back home to you
On that Highway 20 ride
A day might come you'll realize that if you see through my eyes
There was no other way to work it out
And a part of you might hate me
But son, please don't mistake me
For the man that didn't care at all
And I'll drive
And I'll think about my life and wonder why
That I slowly die inside
Every time I turn that truck around right at the Georgia line
And I count the days and the miles back home to you
On that Highway 20 ride
So when you drive and the years go flying by
I hope you smile if I ever cross your mind
It was a pleasure of my life and I cherished every time
And my whole world it begins and ends with you
On that Highway 20 ride
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, 20 ride
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, 20 ride
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (highway 20 ride)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (and I'll ride)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
