It’s a personal song for Larry Cordle, who wrote it about a stretch of road in his home state of Kentucky just about 42 miles long. The great Ricky Skaggs styled it in classic bluegrass fashion as only he can. He made an anthem and an ode out of it for everyone who ever headed out onto any road and came back home sadder but wiser.

We enjoy Ricky Skaggs so much! Your story reminds me so much of the property in Flagstaff. It bordered the Interstate on the south side of the property, but just a bit to the north of it ran the original Rt. 66. In-laws from Phoenix had bought property years ago. When the Interstate was built it when right through the property and divided it. The money that the government paid to do that paid off all of the property. The parents gave each child an acre as a wedding present when the time came. The old highway was just a 2 lane road running parallel to the Interstate. A road that was only used by locals. The story that road could tell! As I read your writings, I can see things as if I was actually there. Thank you.
