[edit] Song Information
The song was inspired by Evans' then-husband, former Republican congressional candidate Craig Schelske, and the love shared between them. It was a message to her husband that no matter how far they may be from each other, there is no place that far that she wouldn't travel to be with him. (Evans filed for divorce from Schelske in October 2006.)
Vince Gill provided harmony vocals on the song.

[edit] Video
The video takes place in a forest with Evans dressed in a black and red dress and with Vince Gill behind her narrating the song. The story revolves around an elderly lady drawing pictures of her past and telling a story to a younger girl. She tells the girl of her husband whom she loved so dearly. At the bridge of the song her husband reappears and gives her a hug; the video then switches to black-and-white and relives the young people making their wedding vows. The video ends with the couple holding hands and walking down path deeper into the forest.

- The Irish boy band Westlife covered the song on their Coast to Coast album.
