Songfacts®:

• Abe Partridge grew up in Alabama, which gave him the foundation for many of his songs, including this one where sings about running lost on highways and through cotton fields with a young love.
  
  "This is a song about a girl I dated for one summer as a teenager," he said in a Songfacts track by track. "Young love often turns to nothing pretty quickly. I played this for a guy at BMI one time, and he immediately said a girl's name after I finished the song. I think a lot of folks had relationships like this in their youth."
• Partridge is joined on the song by Shawn Byrne, who added bass, mandolin, and slide guitar, and also by Molly Thomas, who sings harmony vocals. The song is part of his second album, Love In The Dark, and was released with a stop-motion music video made by Dave Garrett.
