| Zac Brown Band – Highway 20 Ride Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
I hear the day wasted on the road was less time with his boy. What I don't get is the line "Every time I turn that truck around right at the Georgia line And I count the days and the miles back home to you" unless he lives on the GA line. I get the sentiment that when he returns home to GA he has to wait that every other Friday to go back. Then in the video when he hugs the older man, yes maybe it was his story as well. Its sad for the little boy made more so much so by the saddens in how Zac feels. Its a great song, the whole album is superb. |

What I like about it as much as I hate it is Jimmy is saying, we all have our questions, while I want to know what this guys questions were , he creates such rich and interesting characters that isn't what Jimmy explores, he only uses the character to point out the fact that many have "questions that bother them so" I love Jimmy, I became a fan when I stumbled across "Come Monday", my mother had recently started listening to country soon after my Father left, and when i turned the house radio on that song was playing before i could put it on a rock station, I was so lucky. . I only caught part of the song and in those days we didn't have google so you just had to listen day after day to hear it again in hopes of identifying it. I was Black Oak Arkansas, Led Zep, Fog Hat, Sabbath, Aerosmith etc and all the 70's hard rock, than so this was quite a deviance for me but that song grabbed me and I liked the mind of a man that could put such emotion to song. Then Changes came out and I was hooked. I cannot pick a favorite song , but a few lines that I cherish are: I wanted so much to do this "He's goin' back to New York pack it up and let everyone know (back to New York) It was something that he should have done such a long time ago Still, time to start a new life in the palm trees Ah, Billy Clyde wasn't insane And if it doesn't work out, there'll never be any doubt That the pleasure was worth all the pain" and the seemingly autobiographical, "if it all falls down" which was written my Matt Betton and to my surprise Jimmy "Guidance counselor said Your scores are anti-heroic Computer recommend Hard-drinking calypso poet ... I can juggle verbs, adverbs, and nouns ... " as long as we remember he is still here love you Jimmy |

@[rachel1125:48368] I just read it was inspired by a one armed WWI veteran he met while working in Chicago. Hope this helps |
