Josh Grider Songs - Learn To Play On Acoustic Guitar
Drive You Off My Mind is an early recording by Texas country singer-songwriter Josh Grider, appearing on his self-titled Josh Grider Band album from 2004.
The song uses the familiar country theme of hitting the highway to escape the memory of a relationship, turning the drive itself into part of the story. Its road-song character helped it find a natural home among the Texas and Red Dirt country material associated with Grider’s early career, and it has since been mentioned among favorite Texas driving songs.
Musically, the track combines Grider’s singer-songwriter approach with an energetic country arrangement, making it a good fit for acoustic guitar players who enjoy modern Texas country songs with a traditional storytelling foundation
