This song, like most of mine, is based on a true story. It's about the drive along Interstate 40 between Winston-Salem and across the Tennessee line. Just your basic good old country song about lost love.

Artist picture
Winston-Salem, NC based country music singer & songwriter
I am a country music singer/songwriter in Graham, NC. I'm originally from Winston-Salem, NC and, after spending time in Nashville in for awhile, I've moved back to NC. I've been playing and writing country music since I was in high school in the early 1990's. My greatest ambition is to play the Grand Ole Opry. To stand where legends like Hank Williams and Haggard played would make my life complete. I'm working hard at this career and I truly believe that deep down that God put me on this earth to sing country music. Only time will tell - I'm doing all I can do to make it happen. I hope that you enjoy this website I've put together. It will be updated often so check back from time to time. And drop me a line if you get a chance. I'd love to hear from you. Thanks, Brad

Story behind the song
It's a true story. I wanted a "driving" song - one that you could crank up driving in your car. And I've made the drive from Winston-Salem, NC to Nashville so many times it only made since to incorporate that into the song.
Lyrics
I pulled on to 40 just outside of Winston With a helluva load on my back I’m driving down this highway headed for the mountains Trying to drive you out of my mind CHORUS Driving you out of my mind Trying to find a place heal these wounds let my heart unwind After five years of marriage you left me behind So now I’m driving you out of my mind I passed on through Asheville headed for Tennessee To try to leave it all across the line I never saw this coming, God I must be blind Now I’m trying to drive you out of my mind CHORUS BRIDGE They say for every person there’s someone for you to love I guess you found that person when you and me broke up CHORUS I’m driving you out of my mind
