Jon Nicol is a friend from an NSAI group I belong to. Now he lives 100 miles north. He was writing this song about a member of his family. I loved his hook and joined up with him to help try to make the story have a hopeful ending and try to get the characters in the song to forgive and think about their marriage vows before God, and what would be best for the little girl. Sometimes, for me, as a songwriter writing to a desired outcome is far more fulfilling than "just reporting the news." I was glad I could help Jon put a hopeful spin on the song. When I heard his hook idea I said, "There just is no way to Exit Right". Jon has brought this song a long way especially musically and style wise since I last heard it months ago. I will make sure to forward any comments to Jon Nicol. Thanks.

My heart’s achin’ just thinkin how I wanna stay (you gotta stay) Cuz there ain’t no way, to exit right With our Princess asleep in the backseat, we didn’t have to pretend I could see her in my rearview and said remember when She walked for the first time, little steps between you and I I looked at my wife, saw a tear in her eye And I thought if we Repeat Chorus bridge As we walked to our front door I wanted nothing more Than to stay So I barely believed the words That I heard my wife say if we…she knew what I was thinkin my heart skipped when she said, Repeat Chorus and coda out
