Every summer, they’d go camping up north, long drives, beautiful scenery, Webers burgers (if you know, you know), and music playing the whole way. Those moments inspired this song. It didn’t matter where they were headed, as the lyrics say: “Driving through places we won’t ever know, all alone, yeah, and it’s fine ‘cause I got you.”
