One day you’re in the third grade going to your first concert and it’s Rascal Flatts and you’re really excited and it’s a good concert.
One day you look up and you’re 31 at the Houston rodeo singing life is a highway alongside Rascal Flatts with your best friend from college sitting to the left of you. She doesn’t know I’m smiling about the divine intervention that lead to this moment.
I’m in town for her baby boys first birthday. Context, we’ve been praying and waiting Nearly 10 years for this baby
Houston Rodeo has been on my bucket list forever. Too many times I could never get the 6 hours down there to see it.
long story short, I needed to fly to Tennessee and it ended up making sense I flew to Houston, stayed a few days, flew to Tennessee. As soon as I landed in Houston I said “omg when does the rodeo start” - Darby LOVES the rodeo. My doesn’t leave the house friend, LOVES the rodeo.
we went on a Wednesday night.
mind you, cars had not come out in 2003, so although I’ve seen rascal flatts, I didn’t get to see the timeless cover.
Darby Jo Smith, life has been nothing but a highway with you. If you want to drive it another 13 years, well I wanna ride it all night long.
