Kid Rock had been sitting on "Lonely Road of Faith" since 1995, and when it finally surfaced on Cocky in 2001 it became the album's second single, a country-flavored number with a rap-rock bridge bolted into the middle. He handled almost all of it himself: wrote it, produced it, sang lead and backing vocals, played bass and Hammond organ, and mixed it with engineer Al Sutton, leaving guitar to Kenny Olson and drums to Stefanie Eulinberg.
It found some odd corners to live in. A live take from CMT's Crossroads caught on at CMT, the video came from his 2002 set for troops at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, and the WWF cut it into video packages for its New World Order storyline. In 2010 he reworked it for the Racing Father Time EP, dropping the rap and adding Latin-tinged Spanish-style guitar.
