Question
I am trying to find a (Country) song title and artist with very limited information. I know it is sung by a female and I believe it is from the 90's and the only part of the song that I can remember is "turn those 18 wheels around and go back, you've got somebody waiting, go back..." This is from toward the end of the song... He is a truck driver and he leaves on a run, but gets a call from his boss that is daughter has been born and when he turns back he gets into a car accident. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Answer
Hi Amanda!  I think the song you're looking for is Chalee Tennison's "Go Back."  Hope this helps!

Chalee Tennison - "Go Back"

She was waiting tables in a diner off of highway 41
On his way to indiana on another midnight run
So they talked about the weather and the next thing that you know,
The hours flew by like minutes it was time he had to go
On a rainy highway, halfway out of town a voice inside his heart said turn

Those 18 wheels around and...
Go back, you got somebody waiting,
Go back, that's where you need to be right now,
There's nothing in this world more important than that so...
Go back

They settled down in a little house in the spring of '92,
And she quit her job at the diner with the baby almost due,
Those early years weren't easy and they had bills to pay,
So he said,"you know I hate to leave you but ill be back by Saturday."
Ten miles out of Tulsa his boss came on his radio and said if you want to see
Your brand new daughter you better drop that load and..

Go back, you got somebody waiting,
Go back,that's where you need to be right now,
There's nothing in this world more important than that so...
Go back

Everybody heard the sirens,
They pulled his rig out of the snow,
In a rush to see his family,
Some how he lost control,
Thought the doctors tried to save him he sliped in to the light,
Then he heard the angles whisper "now is not your time",

Go back, you got somebody waiting,
Go back,thats where you need to be right now,
Theres nothing in this world more important than that so...
Go back
