This song was written for the women who know what it feels like to love someone and miss them so deeply that you sometimes feel you can't go on... praying they make it home alive. This song honors the wives of our dedicated American soldiers.
Prelude~
It's the late 1960's... somewhere in the middle of America. Art & Teresa Mathews are a young, newly married couple... madly in love. They both have a passion and a gift for music and at this point in their lives are spending their days and nights sharing many things: playing guitar, singing and building harmonies, cutting up on stage, writing country, folk & bluegrass songs... and a tour bus. They are on the road out of Tulsa with a then unknown singer named Charles Daniels. Art as lead guitar and Teresa as back-up vocalist for a band hand-picked by Charlie to open for his own band, The Jaguars. They are doing what they love and loving what they do! Life is good! In late September, 1970, Teresa gets pregnant and returns home to have their daughter. But for Art, 'the road' never ends.
