• This mid-tempo ballad is the second single from Country music artist Jason Michael Carroll's second studio album, Growing Up Is Getting Old. The song was written by Zane Williams, and was originally the title track of his 2005 album. Williams' rendition won him a $20,000 prize at the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
• The song is about a father who is very concerned about his daughter as she has ran away from home. Carroll told Michigan radio station B93 that though he didn't write the song himself, it reminds him of a very personal and painful family situation. He explained: "My mom's older sister, my Aunt Jean, ran away when I was two, from an abusive husband. I remember for 16 years of my life we prayed for her. Every night we said our prayers, and my mom would tag each prayer with, 'Please be with Aunt Jean wherever she's at.'"
  Then during a Christmas get together at his grandmother's house, the telephone rang. Carroll recalled, "I answered it. The lady asked to speak to my grandmother. About halfway through that conversation we realized she was speaking to her daughter that she hadn't spoken to in 16 years." (check out our interview with Jason Michael Carroll)
