I was a long haul trucker for over a million miles.I have been more places with Mellisa Etheridge than I have been with my wife of over 35 years. Sometimes the stereo just isn't loud enough. This song is one of those times.
One of the best,most deep songs i've ever heard. A friend put this on a cd for me when i was 17 and into the old gangsta rap and this song touched me like nothing else. I'm surprised that so many people feel the need to comment on her sexuality. Why is it so important? A tallented person is a tallented person, regardless of their sexuality, gender, race, religion, colour or background. Lets focus on the music peeps.
You find words to talk about this song - these words overwhelme me! Thanx a lot for your statement! CONGRATS! I love Melissa - from her very first moments - and I preciated your words! GOD bless U! Even your comment is 13 years back! 🤩
As crazy as it sounds.....this song gives me....hope. Ive been alone a long time and had pretty much given up. But someone has changed that for me....and we always talk about traveling....one day....if the gods are kind. Shes going to get in my car...Im going to put this up on the radio and just look at her and say...." which way you wanna go baby ?"
My mom loved Melissa and this song in particular and used to play it to me as a child. She just passed this Thanksgiving in her 50's and the goosebumps this song give me are unreal. Hug your mother's
My mom raised me right also and I grew up listening to Melissa, fond memories of car rides, singing this album all the way through. She passed away at 42 , I was 22 in 2008 with two babies, both were born in 2007, one 1-07, the other 12-07. In moments I need her, I find her by listening to Melissa Etheridge. I go to evey concert I can each year, she has no grave so her concerts are where I visit. Last concert, I was really missing my mom and she actually sang a lot of her older songs, some I had never heard her live before. I was that grown woman in the front row crying that night, hearing the songs that let me know I can always find her, feel her, truly remember her. 8 hope Melissa Etheridge truly knows her music has a impact across the decades and she is truly a amazing artist-
Plus the talent in her pinky out shines most. I made my girls go once to a concert when they thought they would grow up to be rock stars. Showed them a amazing women they can look up to in the industry. They not only heard her amazing way she delivers songs, but her ability across several instruments. A true musician, not just pretty face with a team of producers and sound equipment- Melissa Etheridge is the real deal, and is a role model on stage and as a person in general
My daughter and I saw her in concert some 25 years ago and in 2021 she came to our hometown again and we saw her. That her music can relate to generations says it all. This is my favorite of hers.
Brave and Crazy stayed in my cassette player for months. So many great songs on that album, but the first time I heard this it was like being hit in the chest with a sledgehammer. Last song on side one, as I recall. Just a little proof that genius still exists in our world.❤
My wife just sent this to me… I’m feeling very lost and alone…. I just lost my mom a couple of weeks ago…. thank you baby, you know me so well ❤️❤️❤️ you knew just what I needed 😂😘😂😘😂 I love you… this is such a beautiful song!!!! Melissa you rock❤️
I will never forget where I was the first time I heard her voice. I was reeling from the loss of my brother, 30 yrs today, from complications due to HIV, and hanging out with those he called "friend's". Some were shady, some pure and honest. All of them tucked deep in my heart. Melissa Etheridge is a gem. Nobody has that voice, that soul, that purity to make her so unique. She is the only one who could soothe me tonight. Thank you,. Melissa is for being you.
I just love listening to the passion in each song and trust me, they touch me a straight woman just as deeply. Love is love and heart break is heart break doesn't cover one race, color or sexual preference.
I was probably the last person ever to find out that Melissa Etheridge is gay. I just thought we knew the same kind of guys. You are right, gender and sexual preferences don't change the feelings. She so gets that. Love this song.
This was our song. On 10-28-20, it will be 1 year since cancer took her away from me. I'll never have a love like that again but at least I had her for 15 years. I love and miss you Erin. Always baby.
Come on baby let's get out of this town I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down There's a chill in my bones I don't want to be left alone So baby you can sleep while I drive I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar In my pocket I'll carry my harp I got some money I saved Enough to get underway And baby you can sleep while I drive We'll go thorough Tucson up to Santa Fe And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay I'll buy you glasses in Texas a hat from New Orleans And in the morning you can tell me your dreams You know I've seen it before This mist that covers your eyes You've been looking for something That's not in your life My intentions are true Won't you take me with you And baby you can sleep while I drive Oh is it other arms you want to Hold you the stranger The lover you're free Can't you get that with me Come on baby let's get out of this town I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down If you won't take me with you I'll go before night is through And baby you can sleep while I drive
my sister sang this song in my kitchen,then she drived a long time....7 years ago she died in my arms and in church this song played......love is with us
I'm sorry your sister died, but in your arms sounds as if she died with love surrounding her a peaceful death cause you wrapped her around your living arms she was content as she past to the other side and I hope you know how safe and unafraid she felt leaving this world with you helping her do that. Sister's are special and you are special. God bless you keep her memory alive as you just did and be happy.❤❤
"...This mist that covers your eyes... You've been looking for *something*... That's not in your life ... " ... 😍🎼👍 ... ... That's something !!! ... That's something indeed ...!!! ... ... ...
Melissa writes universally about love, passion, jealousy, and heartbreak. No matter who we love, we can readily imagine ourselves in the situations she portrays.
I was stealing away from home, with a lover I'd one day regret, outside Atlanta, when I first heard this song... That was a good night, and love, regardless how fleeting, hung heavy in the night air...
A twist of fate lead me to hear Trisha's version first, and I thought "well girl, I think you've just found yourself". Then I heard Melissa's original - it blew me away. It's sung with so much passon, you can hear the pain, and love, in her voice. Simply awesome.
my annette is not well, so on our way to the doctors, i tell her this, ive have been married to her for 25 years, she is my soulmate, and as her health fails, my heart breaks, but i have to be strong for her.
this is my favorite post to date on youtube, EJ is arguably the greatest musician along with bernie taupin they have created some of the greatest music on the planet.
this is a very warmhearted love song to me, and quite an unusual one. Most love songs will talk about either the passion to the beloved one, the feelings towards him or her, or the pain when being apart or when love is uncountered. In this one however, she talks about what she will do (unconditionally) for him, without demanding anything in return. Doing something for your beloved one simply for the sake because you like him/her and knowing that they will greatly enjoy it or simply relax and soke it all in, yes i guess this is an often forgotten vertue. I'm > 50 right now and English is not my native language, and the hard i think, i do not remember having ever heard a love song of this kind. Well done!
I think you misunderstood this song. At its core, it's about the heartbreak of feeling your lover beginning to slip away, and deciding to do whatever you can to keep that from happening.
Wow... someone finally commented about Where the Day Takes you... such an undiscovered gem! It's where I first found this song back in the early 90s at the tender age of 13.
I am a tough guy. Worked hard in my life, failed a lot, lost so many people and am still alive. But when I hear this, i cry out all my pain with tears. This is one of the most important musics in my life. Thank you melissa. You made a lot of shit and crap songs. But this is definately a masterpiece.
You and me both, buddy! I owned a copy of this as a single 12" for 25 years, I've just sent it to the old flame who played it to me first, and yes, i cried then and now. Got here from Wash Me Clean by KD Lang, and I can agree that both artists have churned out some crud, but this is golden.
Melissa had it all down all the time..Kick Ass Rock and Roll.....And one of the greatest country songs ever..Was it country? I thought it might a had a been..Didn't matter..frankny65yroldwhitekid rockfan
This video, the Official one, I’ve never seen this before. Its amazing! This song is one of her older ones. But, it never gets old for me. So glad that I stumbled across her. She, and her music are like a long, cool drink of water to me. And I’ve been lost in the desert, dying of thirst. Thank you, so much, Melissa. I love ❤️ you, and your music 🎵. Keep on Rockin’!!!
@outcast45shot probably you tried to say something nice about Melissa but I am not sure... I mean of corse she is very talented and hot... but I believe we should treat her as AN ARTIS, without any dissusion about her preferences... that she is a lesbian not makes her better singer or composer.... I think that her music speaks to all people gay or not gay... She is singing about emotion and this is close to everybody... She is great singer... I love her.... Melissa I wish you all the best!!!
Mr.Lynch...I lost my husband after 29 years.. suddenly. I literally went sick! Did things, turned to all the wrong people...shut my family out, my church, I was angry blamed him for leaving me! I am fine now but I did not do it alone! I fineally excepted my family's help and put everything in God's hands. God Bless you friend!
Just a great, torching hot love song! The passion Melissa puts into her music and and the intensity of the ride she takes you on leave you gasping for more! I never cared who she loved, but when she came out I only loved her more for her bravery.
Mine and my moms road trip song when I was younger and I’m on my first road trip without her while she’s at home in Louisiana and I’m 18hours away in Colorado at 16 and I’m so homesick so it makes me sad 🙁
It's March 2, 2023, I just found this song for the first time. Love her voice, it's not high pitched and screechy like too many lady singers. I have also always loved her 12 string style, so BITCHIN.
I love, love this song and her older music as well. Have followed her since 94-95 when she came out with I’m the Only One. I was an instant fan and saw her Yes I Am tour in Dallas the summer of 95 and have seen her another 5 times since tho the last time was the summer of 2004 in Atlanta at The Roxy. She introduced her new guitar player that replaced John Shanks. Don’t know his name. Anyway, she is def my main girl crush!
She loves holding her guitar when she sings but in this video she isn't.. must have been the director trying something new..lots of make-up aswell, werid..
WTH does her being a lesbian have to do with her ability to make you "feel" her music?? Not a damn thing!! If you want to add labels, you could say "Cancer Survivor" as opposed to "lesbian". Regardless of her sexual orientation, she's an amazingly talented woman!!!! Rock on Melissa!!
@@nopenadanowaynohow No I don't think you do get it unless you're hiding it well. I was speaking to my experience as an LGBTQ+ individual. I listened and watched someone like myself in a time that we didn't see ourselves unless we were comedy relief or dying in a movie or on TV. So while I never implied in my original statement that it was just the LGBTQ+ community that responded to the song or that it was about only us I will say that for us? It was earth moving in a way it wasn't for anyone else. Representation matters. Also, sure it's about a relationship. It was also written from a lesbian standpoint. So ya I get it.
@@nopenadanowaynohow I'm not sure of how "Coming out at 14 in a small town this song hit me so hard" = This song only speaks to LGBTQ folks? Once again I was speaking to *my* experience. You are the one who brought up that it wasn't about sexuality. I never said gender was mentioned. I said Knowing that it was written for a woman by a woman was empowering for me because of a lack of representation. Maybe you should have left it at YOUR experience with the song with out trying to invalidate and misinterpret mine? Why did I assume you weren't part of my community? 1. LBG is incorrect. no LGBTQ+ person I have ever met uses that initialism. 2. We tend to not belittle each others coming out. "But go ahead buttercup, assume that anyone with a different opinion can't be gay and understand" If you are not LGBTQ you can not understand the experience of being so. You can empathize but not understand. ALSO buttercup??? So now we are being clever and name calling??? Get under a bring troll because I'm done with you.
@@nopenadanowaynohow the only one making things about themselves is you. It’s ok for songs to have different meaning for different people, you don’t have to Kool-Aid Man your way into her comment.
@a@ajolie3 K.D. lang? you mean this barefooted man in pijama..? my comment is not nice? probably... but you said that Melissa is like a robot....it is not true she is beautifull and talented... amazing... I can unterstand that you prefer different music, but you can say it without insulting Melissa or...?

So much hope and hurt. Others have sung this song, but no one else has the soul to sing it like this.
This is one of Etheridge's best songs and was used brilliantly in the 1993 movie "Where the Day Takes You".
My favorite movie!
As crazy as it sounds.....this song gives me....hope. Ive been alone a long time and had pretty much given up. But someone has changed that for me....and we always talk about traveling....one day....if the gods are kind.

One of the most solitary & haunting of love songs ever which is why I love it so. Thanks M for creating it for us.
Love this song! I did most of the driving especially before my husband died and this song was ours!
My mom loved Melissa and this song in particular and used to play it to me as a child. She just passed this Thanksgiving in her 50's and the goosebumps this song give me are unreal. Hug your mother's
Sorry for your lost Josh but you can enjoy Milessas music for just a little solace. Iost my mum.also so I get it

I used to sing my daughter to sleep with this. Now 13 years later, we sing it together! We both love this song!!!!
I sing this to my 4 year old at night 💙
My best friend Erica used to song this song to me. She passed away 8 years ago, but I still get teary eyes listening to this. Rest easy, babe.
I'm sorry for your loss. Missing friends is the worst.
I miss you Daddy. I remember always singing this song while you played the guitar. Give Mama a hug for me. I really need you right now.
She hits a few nerves. ❤ Love her voice, songs.

Melissa Etheridge is a true legend. She has gotten me through a lot of bad shit in my life and I thank her for that.
How many of us have wanted to do this. Song always makes me cry.
Me too. Have sung this at karioke and pushed back the tears
I would love for that special someone too drive and we go ❤️❤️😇❤️⚜️😎
I actually did.
@@emmettmartens2754 that's awesome 😊😇 ❤️
@@sundayosullivan32 still have the car too!
my mums used to play this to me when i was younger, so glad i can listen to it again. i love my mums.
Same here 💗
Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
There's a chill in my bones
I don't want to be left alone
So baby you can sleep while I drive
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I got some money I saved
Enough to get underway
And baby you can sleep while I drive
We'll go thorough Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you glasses in Texas a hat from New Orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams
You know I've seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
You've been looking for something
That's not in your life
My intentions are true
Won't you take me with you
And baby you can sleep while I drive
Oh is it other arms you want to
Hold you the stranger
The lover you're free
Can't you get that with me
Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
If you won't take me with you
I'll go before night is through
And baby you can sleep while I drive
Yearwood wrote and performed a classic and ME made it even better.
All her songs have helped me thew tough times and good times she's my favorite of all time
Same
I can't believe I just recently heard this song for the first time!
It's absolutely beautiful. :+)
+Don Cornell I'm glad I'm not alone then. :-)
Hey! Better late than never... She's so underrated !
Best song of Ms Etheridge. Wished she wrote this well all the time.
Your a true story teller ❤❤❤
So pleasant...nice. Grateful 🙏
She has the tenderness eyes, and a sincerely delicate voice. God Bless U, Darlin'!
my sister sang this song in my kitchen,then she drived a long time....7 years ago she died in my arms and in church this song played......love is with us
Just love this song Melissa at her best.
I'm sorry your sister died, but in your arms sounds as if she died with love surrounding her a peaceful death cause you wrapped her around your living arms she was content as she past to the other side and I hope you know how safe and unafraid she felt leaving this world with you helping her do that. Sister's are special and you are special. God bless you keep her memory alive as you just did and be happy.❤❤
@@BonibluComptis thank you 😘
Going to see her for the 6th time tonight, and no matter how many times I hear this song it still gives me the chills........
I simply love this song!
This song reminds me of a friend, bar manager and a reservist in the military. That was the good old days at the Q
Beautiful timeless song ❤️
"...This mist that covers your eyes... You've been looking for *something*...
That's not in your life ... "
... 😍🎼👍 ... ... That's something !!! ... That's something indeed ...!!!

This song is beautiful and haunting, regardless of sexuality. Melissa at her finest.
Melissa writes universally about love, passion, jealousy, and heartbreak. No matter who we love, we can readily imagine ourselves in the situations she portrays.
Nothing to do with sex
I always feel the heartbreak in those final verses, and it makes my eyes want to leak.
Where the day takes you
I was stealing away from home, with a lover I'd one day regret, outside Atlanta, when I first heard this song... That was a good night, and love, regardless how fleeting, hung heavy in the night air...

💜 this !! 1 of my favourite Melissa Etheridges songs, and, so want to do this.
This is just the best somg
I saw her for the first time yesterday live in Luxembourg ... wonderfull lyrics ... great performance .. great person ...
The stories shared here about this song are heartwarming.
my annette is not well, so on our way to the doctors, i tell her this, ive have been married to her for 25 years, she is my soulmate, and as her health fails, my heart breaks, but i have to be strong for her.
Mark Ogle thank you, she is doing better with the new meds.god bless you.
cliff lynch when she was going through all her surgeries, id tell her this as i drove, baby, you can sleep while i drive..
Mark Ogle almost 26 years we have been married, and it is love, unconditional.
CLIFF, DR. DETROIT, LYNCH how is she doing now?
Oh hun I hope you are both well and still in love as you read this

Music transcends race, gender, sexual preference, etc. I'm certain Melissa Etheridge feels the same way.
Who is Barbara in Nashville? Is that Barbara Mandrell? :)
@outcast45shot probably you tried to say something nice about Melissa but I am not sure... I mean of corse she is very talented and hot... but I believe we should treat her as AN ARTIS, without any dissusion about her preferences... that she is a lesbian not makes her better singer or composer.... I think that her music speaks to all people gay or not gay... She is singing about emotion and this is close to everybody... She is great singer... I love her.... Melissa I wish you all the best!!!
One of my favourite songs of all time. Had the absolute pleasure of seeing her live at Byron Bay Blues Fest in 2016. Gold :)
Released on Brave and Crazy, 1990, and directed by Julie Cypher.
Mr.Lynch...I lost my husband after 29 years.. suddenly. I literally went sick! Did things, turned to all the wrong people...shut my family out, my church, I was angry blamed him for leaving me!

Be what you need to be ! Dont listen to anyone else
i never could sleep when some one else drove,,
Come
On baby let’s get
The heck out of this town
I remember being little girl my mom blare this on our long drives I am Melissa Etheridge fan my whole 40 year life.❤
She's just pure magic! Timeless! So much soul! Melissa knows so much about the human condition!
@OutlandsCommunity That was beautifully said.....
Aww Melissa was so young.I wonder what it was like to hang out with her when she was young, like was she a bad ass or did she just keep to herself.
She was always bad ass.
Wud love to buy glasses in Texas with her
A simply beautiful song & one hell of a performance - nothing else needs to be said.
🖤💔🖤
Mine and my moms road trip song when I was younger and I’m on my first road trip without her while she’s at home in Louisiana and I’m 18hours away in Colorado at 16 and I’m so homesick so it makes me sad 🙁
It's March 2, 2023, I just found this song for the first time. Love her voice, it's not high pitched and screechy like too many lady singers. I have also always loved her 12 string style, so BITCHIN.
These were the days when record company’s “molded” “their” artists into what sells...Melissa finally grew into “herself’
I love, love this song and her older music as well. Have followed her since 94-95 when she came out with I’m the Only One. I was an instant fan and saw her Yes I Am tour in Dallas the summer of 95 and have seen her another 5 times since tho the last time was the summer of 2004 in Atlanta at The Roxy. She introduced her new guitar player that replaced John Shanks. Don’t know his name. Anyway, she is def my main girl crush!
rob thomas send me here! good
She loves holding her guitar when she sings but in this video she isn't.. must have been the director trying something new..lots of make-up aswell, werid..
How is this 2001? kinda looks like 70's to me (A) still a great vid
WTH does her being a lesbian have to do with her ability to make you "feel" her music?? Not a damn thing!! If you want to add labels, you could say "Cancer Survivor" as opposed to "lesbian". Regardless of her sexual orientation, she's an amazingly talented woman!!!! Rock on Melissa!!
Melissa is amszing I just heard this song and I am not afraid anumore to be a lesbisn
Lesbian...shmezbian. she rocks! She blends great music with words that tell a story. I love how this one ends..."baby you can sleep while I drive."
I do not know why but this song always makes me sob. If it is played somewhere I have to leave.
I was a romantic when I heard this. I'm a realist...and it means the same.
Coming out at 14 in a small town this song hit me so hard. Wanting love and wanting out of there....
@@nopenadanowaynohow No I don't think you do get it unless you're hiding it well. I was speaking to my experience as an LGBTQ+ individual. I listened and watched someone like myself in a time that we didn't see ourselves unless we were comedy relief or dying in a movie or on TV. So while I never implied in my original statement that it was just the LGBTQ+ community that responded to the song or that it was about only us I will say that for us? It was earth moving in a way it wasn't for anyone else. Representation matters. Also, sure it's about a relationship. It was also written from a lesbian standpoint. So ya I get it.
@@nopenadanowaynohow I'm not sure of how "Coming out at 14 in a small town this song hit me so hard" = This song only speaks to LGBTQ folks? Once again I was speaking to *my* experience. You are the one who brought up that it wasn't about sexuality. I never said gender was mentioned. I said Knowing that it was written for a woman by a woman was empowering for me because of a lack of representation. Maybe you should have left it at YOUR experience with the song with out trying to invalidate and misinterpret mine? Why did I assume you weren't part of my community? 1. LBG is incorrect. no LGBTQ+ person I have ever met uses that initialism. 2. We tend to not belittle each others coming out. "But go ahead buttercup, assume that anyone with a different opinion can't be gay and understand" If you are not LGBTQ you can not understand the experience of being so. You can empathize but not understand. ALSO buttercup??? So now we are being clever and name calling??? Get under a bring troll because I'm done with you.
@@nopenadanowaynohow the only one making things about themselves is you. It’s ok for songs to have different meaning for different people, you don’t have to Kool-Aid Man your way into her comment.
ME rules, rocks and rolls...
Wonderful song by a first class singer!
@a@ajolie3 K.D. lang? you mean this barefooted man in pijama..? my comment is not nice? probably... but you said that Melissa is like a robot....it is not true she is beautifull and talented... amazing... I can unterstand that you prefer different music, but you can say it without insulting Melissa or...?
Heard this song at the movie "a royal runaway romance" and fell in love with this song. Was hard to find.
