About this song

Written by Rory Feek and Jamie Teachenor, the song was first recorded for Larsen's album In My High School on Giantslayer Records and released as its second single. After Larsen joined BNA Records, the label released it as a single, and it reached number 18 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. The writers based it on the 2003 suicide of a 19-year-old Mount Pleasant, Tennessee man, Lance Emmitt, and the song was written as a tribute to him. Larsen has said he got chills when he first heard it and knew he was meant to record it.
