It takes strength, and character and patience, to navigate a broken road, and for me those qualities come from God. The thing is, you CAN get down broken roads, it’s just tough to do. The really cool thing about this song is that it was written the year my husband, Matthew and I met, and it tells our story! We both had been down some really broken roads in our lives on our way to each other. It was released by NGDB that same year, and by Hummon in 1995, but I never heard it until it was released by the Country group, Rascal Flatts in 2004. The song Bless the Broken Road was co-written by Bobby Boyd, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s Jeff Hanna and Marcus Hummon in 1994. The words resonate because most of the songs are about everyday things of life. I’ve enjoyed country music since before it was cool because even as a small child the words to the songs resonated with me.
