“I’ve had the idea for this song for a long, long time. I wrote this phrase into my songwriting notebook twenty or thirty years ago. In the beginning, I didn’t know how the music would go, but I sure knew what the story was. I pictured a group of travelers, perhaps an extended family, standing on the road with their faces to the sky. They’re worn, but not weary. They are in constant motion along their journey of destiny. They don’t know exactly where or how long they’ll be traveling, but they do understand that the end of the road, wherever that is, will be worth the trip.”
