Content and history

Tritt co-wrote the song with Jill Colucci, who also wrote his 1990 hit "I'm Gonna Be Somebody", when the two were together on an airplane ride. Colucci presented Tritt with a melody and the two began writing lyrics together. As they had not finished writing the lyrics at the time the airplane landed, they reunited in the studio six weeks later to finish writing.[1] The song is composed in the key of C major with a "moderately slow" tempo and main chord pattern of C-G-F-G.[2]

Music video

The music video was directed by Jack Cole and was the first of a trilogy of music videos (the second being "Tell Me I Was Dreaming" in 1995, and the third being "If I Lost You" in 1998) that tell the story of a veteran named Mac Singleton, who uses a wheelchair. Tritt portrays Mac Singleton, who is struggling through his time at a rehabilitation clinic after being injured in the Vietnam War, and has nightmares about the war every night. He meets a friend named Al (portrayed by Barry Scott) after awakening from one of his nightmares. Singleton is also struggling from being away from his wife Annie.

The video was featured in CMT's 100 Greatest Music Videos in 2004, where it ranked at No. 64.
