My mom and I were driving in Nashville and saw this young girl on the side of an interstate holding a cardboard sign with shaky hands. We started having a conversation about her, about what her story might have looked like and all the steps and disappointing turns that could have led her to standing right there looking for change. I couldn't shake the image of her face from my mind and sat down to write with Luke Laird and Barry Dean a few days after that drive with my mom. Luke had a track going that was in the same key and nearly same tempo as the couple of lines I had been messing with and Barry walked in with a folder of newspaper articles that completely coincided with this concept. Pretty wild. We really do all have a story and I don't know that we take time often enough to think about what could be going on in the people's lives around us or what their past might have looked like. I think when we do, we realize we are all more alike than we know.
