When Cody Johnson Debuted ‘I Know My Way Back (Clara’s Song)’ [DISTANT REPLAY]

Cody Johnson has been one of Texas' biggest draws for years. He and his band are selling out venues, headlining festivals, and dominating Spotify. In January he will release Ain't Nothin' To It, with first album with a major record label. And our money is on him landing his first Billboard No. 1 in '19.

But do you remember back in May '15, Cody stopped by Radio Texas, LIVE! and debuted a brand new song with us, "I Know My Way Back (Clara's Song)."

So how did this song, a song for his daughter, come about?

"I didnt want to write a song to her, per say," Johnson told us on the show. "I just tried to write a song that made me feel good. But instead of thinking about my wife, and that kind of love, I just thought about my daughter. I started playing this song riding down the road to no miss home so much and the more and more I've played, it just feels good."
