I started writing this song late one night while driving home across the Grapevine (as Highway 5 north of Los Angeles is affectionately known). A few years after our divorce, my ex and I ended up living about 3 hours' drive apart from each other, but we were both committed to doing whatever it took for our sons to still have time with both parents. So, for us, this spot literally was the "middle ground" where we'd meet when our kids were going from mom's house to dad's house and vice versa...
