"The Road I'm On" was the second single from Away from the Sun, 3 Doors Down's 2002 album, going out to radio in 2003, and it's post-grunge with the windows rolled down. Brad Arnold sings it and wrote it with Todd Harrell, Chris Henderson and Matt Roberts; Henderson and Roberts carry the guitars and Harrell the bass, with Josh Freese on drums and Rick Hopkins adding Hammond organ. Rick Parashar produced and Randy Staub mixed.
The Malloys' video leaned all the way into the title: the band plays a checkered-flag stage at night while NASCAR drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart tear through the streets in custom Chevrolet Tahoes, wind up at a local short track in the middle of a race, and break back out again. It reached number eight on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks, yet it's the one single from the album left off The Greatest Hits in 2012.
