We aren't surprised when we see a great rock band or a great jazz artist that is from a different country, so why should we be surprised that there is great country music from all over the world. The Netherlands has a thriving country scene, much of which is in English but some - like this - in Dutch. Henk Wijngaard should know something about country - his half brother is Shania Twain's grandfather.
Now I don't speak much Dutch (Dank je) I really get the sense of what this song is all about. Night driving. Some themes - and some music - is universal.

Country music could be the answer to world peace.
very nice
Needs an accordion.
Good song -- I think ASM is onto something with the accordion. That or maybe honky-tonk piano.
