Where the Road Meets the Tide is an original country song about trading Western New York dirt roads for Florida's Nature Coast, and finding out the journey matters more than the destination. From a two-lane road through the live oaks and Spanish moss to a sailboat at anchor in Kings Bay, Crystal River, this one rides along with me and my blue merle Collie, Winter, towing the Whaler toward the water. Somewhere between the miles and the tide, I finally understood what my dad meant every time he told me, "Slow down, son." This song is for anybody who spent so long looking down the road they almost missed the life they were already living. I'm a digital artist using my own voice, and I wrote every word of this one. Crafted with heart. If this one hit home, hit like, subscribe, and ring the bell so you don't miss the next ride:    / @dearg_mactavish   Who was it in your life that kept telling you to slow down?

LYRICS There was a time I thought a road Was only meant to get you somewhere Now the miles and the memories in between Mean a whole lot more to me A full tank, a half-made plan And somewhere warm beyond the bend Funny how you start out lookin' For a place to stop And wind up wonderin' Where the road will take you next I may not know what's around every corner Don't know where this road might lead But there's something in the not knowing That's starting to feel better and better to me Where the road meets the tide Ain't a half bad place to be I didn't leave where I came from behind Still got dirt roads runnin' through my veins Just chasin' my next adventure in the sand Traded wheels for a whole new ride And I guess that's what happens When that two-lane meets the tide Now there's salt dust on the windshield And a cooler ridin' in the back A pair of rods and an old tackle box No particular plan, no map I can pull this boat down a two-lane road Find a quiet bay to drop the hook Some days I still catch myself grinnin' At all the turns this old life has gone through Maybe I was always lookin' too far ahead Tryin' to see where this road would end Now I'm learnin' there's more to the journey Than simply knowin' the destination Where the road meets the tide Ain't a half bad place to be I didn't leave where I came from behind Still got dirt roads runnin' through my veins Just chasin' my next adventure in the sand Traded wheels for a whole new ride And I guess that's what happens When that two-lane meets the tide Maybe now I finally understand What he meant when he kept saying, “Slow down, son” I spent so much time lookin' down the road I didn't see the life I was already livin' Turns out you don't have to know where you're goin' To know you're right where you need to be Sometimes the best part of the journey Is the part you never planned to see Where the road meets the tide Ain't a half bad place to be I didn't leave where I came from behind Still got dirt roads runnin' through my veins Just chasin' my next adventure in the sand Traded wheels for a whole new ride And I guess that's what happens When that two-lane meets the tide I ain't in a hurry now There's still a lot I haven't done A lot I haven't seen Wherever life takes me Is alright with me Still a lotta water left to cover Still a lotta world left to see #WhereTheRoadMeetsTheTide #CountryMusic #NewCountryMusic #CountryMusicVideo #DeargMacTavish #FloridaCountry #CrystalRiver #RoadTripSong
