"In a season of unending discourse about our divides, my Greyhound journeys have served as a tonic," writes @douglevitt. "Here's what I've learned from traveling over 150,000 miles by Greyhound Bus across America for more than 15 years" ti.me/3PLVUvR

"Edge of Everywhere" is made up of the stories of others who have affected me deeply, including Hector who I met on the Greyhound years back and who share the tragic story of his son Angelo, who was shot by in errant bullet in a gang related car chase and shootout. Hector would become a dear friend, and would also help me to come to terms with my father's suicide. I've seen on the bus, whether it's the veteran who feels he failed his brother in arms in Afghanistan, or the daughter who feels she wasn't there for her mother when she became addicted, ultimately we learn from each other how to forgive ourselves. I'm so grateful for Hector in my life, all by a chance interaction on a Greyhound.

The "Born in West Virginia" lyric video is out now! Made this one myself and thought about a veteran I met reflecting on his life while looking out the front window of a bus on a winding road at night - video I took thinking about this song. Watch the full video on my YouTube channel, and be sure to keep streaming my new album "Edge of Everywhere" on all platforms! ffm.to/douglevitteoe
