Some of the versions that were played on the radio are the voices of Reba and Skip Ewing. Kenny became her official duet partner in the music video of the song which was well-received by the critics. It tells the story of the song nicely and it was played by Joanna García and Steve Howey, who was part of the hit TV show Reba.

We’re as close as we might ever be again
Every other weekend

The couple in the song may be divorced but the chance of them getting back together is high. The key to their problem might be their children as they share the same love towards them. Once you go back to the basics and have a common interest with someone, this can spark a dialogue that will lead to a mutual feeling with each other.

This track really highlights the importance of spending your time with your family. The two estranged couples are starting to feel that love again because of the times they spend with their children and that is just beautiful.
