Background

"Zzyzx Rd." is a love song written to Taylor's wife for helping him in his struggles against alcoholism and contemplation of suicide,[1] a theme he returns to across the album.[2] The road referenced in the title is a 4.5-mile-long (7.2 km), part-paved rural collector road in the Mojave Desert, leading from Interstate 15 to Zzyzx, California, approximately 105 miles (169 km) southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Before the album tracklist was finalized, Corey Taylor mentioned the song in an interview with Revolver, saying:[1]

"There's a track we recorded, that I hope makes it on the album, that's basically a love song to my wife, thanking her for dragging me out of the fire and helping me get sober. I've never written anything like that before, but it was very important for me to tell the world not only how much she saved me, but how much she means to me."
