Description

I have been a fan of one of our local weekend news channels at KTLA Channel 5 for years. One morning the hosts were talking about Country Music and how it seems too simple sometimes. Dayna Devon and Kasey Montoya were talking about Country music and how it’s always about somebody driving in a truck. They used the words ‘Drive’, and ‘Truck’ so my wife and I decided to write a song about that. We submitted the song to Kacey Montoya’s Instragram, and she said she really liked the song.

Verse-
On the road I think about her, you’d think in my truck I prefer (you see)
