Critical reception edit
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling the song a "midtempo outing, a meaty production propelled by plenty o' steel fiddles and the aforementioned banjo." She goes on to say that the "see-ya lyric works well enough, as tired as the road/car imagery may be-seems like nobody ever exits a relationship on a bicycle."[4]
Music video edit
The music video was directed by Thom Oliphant and premiered in mid-2000. Most of the video was filmed on a section of Alberta Highway 2 near Red Deer, Alberta known as Gasoline Alley.
