<P> The song is about the narrator driving a truck owned by his brother , who died in action in the United States Army . Co-writer Connie Harrington was inspired to write it after hearing an interview on Here and Now with a father , Paul Monti , whose son , Medal of Honor recipient Jared , was killed in Afghanistan while trying to save a fellow soldier . In the interview , he states that he drives the truck to feel close to his son . </P>
