此曲為美國歌手Kid Rock邀女歌手Sheryl Crow客串共同錄唱,並收錄在其2001發行的專輯《Cocky》中。可不要小看這位Kid Rock老兄,他在1998發行的嘻哈專輯《Devil Without a Cause》,在全世界售出近1400萬張。依據唱片銷售資訊及追蹤系統Nielsen SoundScan的統計估算,Kid Rock是為在2000年銷售成績最好的男歌手 ( 1760萬張/專輯 ),以90年代的10年統計,則是排名第17。
當Kid Rock想將此曲另發行單曲時,問題來了 → 無法取得Sheryl Crow所屬A&M唱片公司的同意。為了仍欲發行單曲,只得另找了位女歌手Allison Moorer來瓜代。有趣的又來了,許多廣播電台的DJ不吃這一套,還是執意播Kid Rock和Sheryl Crow合唱的版本,結果此版本反而在告示牌熱門榜獲得了第4名 ( 單曲版只得到第33名 )。此曲不僅是為Kid Rock在美國排行榜的最佳成績,也是Sheryl Crow自1994的《All I Wanna Do》以來,成績第二好的一首單曲。
或許是因為合唱此曲的關係,Kid Rock也在2002成為Sheryl Crow的緋聞男友之一,而Crow比Rock大了9歲,是明顯的姊弟戀。不過,倆人在同一年即分手了。
自此單曲發行之後,與Kid Rock同台合唱此曲的女歌手還有Kellie Pickler、 Martina McBride、 Miranda Lambert、 Jessie James、 Gretchen Wilson、 LeAnn Rimes等這幾位,而和Gretchen Wilson的現場合唱版本,另收錄在Kid Rock 2006的專題《Live Trucker》中。

男女朋友吵架時,千萬不要隨意將對方的相片燒了、扔了。還好歌中這位老兄有將相片找回來,也誓言要改變自己,希望女友能回心轉意。
Living my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sunshine in three damn days
Been fuelling up on cocaine and whisky
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Oh Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you
While I'm lying next to her
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her
I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they won't tell
But their half-hearted smiles tell me something just ain't right
I've been waiting on you for a long time
Fueling up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in three damn nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I saw ya yesterday with an old friend
I saw you yesterday with an old friend
It was the same old same how have you been
Since you've been gone my world's been dark and grey
You reminded me of brighter days
I hoped you were coming home to stay
I was headed to church
I was off to drink you away
I thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't understand why we're living life this way
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you
To come back home
I just called to say I love you
Come back home
