The song peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and at number 66 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Bentley wrote this song with Steve Bogard and Brett Beavers.
The song's narrator is expressing the need to have a traveling companion in the journey of life.
The music video was directed by Charles Mehling and premiered in late-2006. It features a man who is walking home after doing time in jail. In the video, Bentley had his famous curls shaved off, when his character was sent off to jail. It was filmed over a 3-day period in Mexico City, Mexico.
