Some journeys don’t begin on a map, they begin the moment you decide your spirit deserves better. On 65 On The Interstate, rising folk-pop storyteller Christian Hayes turns heartbreak into holy momentum, steering past old patterns with a pulse of clarity, grit, and grace. With wind-cut harmonies and road-worn guitars carrying his conviction forward, Hayes delivers a soaring Americana anthem that feels less like escape and more like resurrection. The song sound like someone choosing light over bitterness, accelerating toward whatever freedom waits beyond the curve. With a reminder that healing happens in motion, and faith is sometimes found behind the wheel, Hayes explains:
It’s about learning not to fall into the same old patterns… the world keeps spinning, and a new chapter is on its way.
Co-written with Jack Riley and Chance Emerson and produced by Brett Truitt, the song blends open-sky instrumentation with a heart that refuses to harden. “65 On The Interstate” continues a powerful run following Caroline, Oh Caroline, Good As It Gets, and Something To Lose, each sharpening Hayes’ reputation as a truth-teller rooted in Appalachia’s storytelling legacy. With festival stops like CMA Fest and Born & Raised, Hayes stands at the cusp of a breakout moment. Roll the windows down. Let the ache breathe. Keep going.
