About the song
If you’ve ever found yourself missing someone so deeply that distance feels unbearable, then Scotty McCreery’s heartfelt ballad “Wherever You Are” might just speak to your soul. Released as part of his 2018 album Seasons Change, this song beautifully captures the ache and devotion of long-distance love. McCreery, known for his rich, warm baritone and sincere storytelling, brings a tender honesty to the lyrics that feels both personal and universal.
From the very first lines, “You’re in someone else’s arms / I know I shouldn’t care,” the listener is drawn into a story of longing and unwavering connection. This isn’t just a song about missing someone — it’s about loving someone so deeply that your heart follows them no matter where they go. Whether it’s across the country or across town, the message is clear: true love knows no boundaries.
One of the strengths of “Wherever You Are” lies in its simplicity. The production is soft and uncluttered, allowing McCreery’s voice to take center stage. With just the right touch of acoustic guitar and subtle percussion, the music gives space for the emotion to breathe. It’s not overproduced or flashy — and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful.
What makes this song especially relatable is its emotional truth. We’ve all experienced moments where we wish we could be with someone — a partner, a friend, a family member — but life, circumstances, or timing keep us apart. McCreery gives those feelings a voice and a melody, reminding us that love remains strong even in absence.
Whether you’re a longtime country fan or just discovering Scotty McCreery’s music, “Wherever You Are” is a gentle reminder that love endures, even when distance gets in the way. It’s a song you’ll want to return to on quiet nights or when your heart needs comfort.

Lyrics
Wonder are you on the West Coast
Top down rodeo driving
Maybe up in Colorado
You always did love that Rocky Mountain
High up in Manhattan
Or way out in some cabin
In the middle of nowhere
Well baby I’ll be there
Wherever you are, wherever it is
Baby it ain’t too far
Just give me a call or drop me a pin
Enough of this damn being apart
I’ll fill up a tank or buy me a ticket
Whatever it takes you know I’m with it
And it won’t be long till I’m there by your side
Wherever you are, wherever you are tonight
Are you hanging in a dive bar
Nodding your head to some eighties cover band
Or strolling down some boardwalk
Kicking off your flip flops in the sand
Do you wish I was kissing on your lips
No it won’t take much
So baby just hit me up
Wherever you are, wherever it is
Baby it ain’t too far
Just give me a call or drop me a pin
Enough of this damn being apart
I’ll fill up a tank or buy me a ticket
Whatever it takes you know I’m with it
And it won’t be long till I’m there by your side
Wherever you are, wherever you are tonight
Yeah, wherever you are tonight, oh
Well to tell you the truth
Ain’t a day goes by that I don’t think about you
And I wish I was on my way to
Wherever you are, wherever it is
Baby it ain’t too far
Just give me a call or drop me a pin
Hit send, enough of this damn being apart
I’ll fill up a tank or buy me a ticket
Whatever it takes you know I’m with it
And it won’t be long till I’m there by your side
Wherever you are, wherever you are tonight
Wherever you are tonight, yeah
Yeah ooh ooh
Yeah ooh ooh
