Story Behind The Song
That White Line refers to the solid white line on the side of a country road in Western Wisconsin that Andy frequently rides his bicycle along to exercise and clear his mind. As a former CEO, Andy spent many years on the "freeway" of business leadership, responsible for the livelihoods and well-being of his colleagues. Many mistakes were made along the way, and a long bicycle ride was often what he needed to remind himself of what's truly important in this life.

Lyrics
Ridin' on that white line,
Thinkin' back to another place and time,
It gets me high.
Turnin' off the freeway, to a road where I'll take my own sweet time,
It gets me by.
There's no better way to see what's true,
To feel the dreams I share with you,
To hear my heart beat like it's new.
Ridin' on that white line,
Thinkin' 'bout the mistakes I know are mine,
It grounds my mind.
Spent too long on the freeway,
Chasin' dreams and schemes that turned my eye,
I was blind.
Ridin' gives me space to see what's true,
To heal the pain that we've been through,
To give my whole self back to you.
Cruisin' by the park where we made love,
I feel I'm 21 again,
Takin' in the bluest skies above.
Ridin' on that white line,
Thinkin' back to another place and time,
It gets me high.
Turnin' off the freeway, to a road where I'll take my own sweet time,
It gets me by.
