“My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer on July 9th, 2022. He passed away on
October 29th later that year. Throughout his fight with cancer, I wanted to write a tribute
to him, but couldn’t get anything to stick until my sister Jill, her husband James and I
met with the funeral home to go over arrangements and write the obituary. When we got
to the hobbies portion, we talked about how he loved riding horses, driving muscle cars
and how he was a truck driver his whole life, to which my brother-in-law said, “He loved
horses and horsepower.” I went home that day and started writing the song.
I’m so pleased to have three of my five siblings playing and singing in this tribute to our
dad. They all knocked their performance out of the park and I know he’d be proud of the
legacy he left behind that I see in all of my siblings.”
