TRACK NOTES (SCROLL DOWN FOR LYRICS):
This song was written by my friend Marshall Chapman, who still lives in Nashville, still writes great songs and books, and who I don't get to see enough. That's Marshall singing harmony on the verses. She really wanted to sing the spoken word bits on the last verse so I had to fight her for it. Finally I think I just pulled rank and said "Hey, it's MY record and I'M paying for it!."

The vamp singer on the last chorus and after is the wonderful Laura Tyree, who is now a famous and fabulous yoga teacher in the Florida panhandle (unless she's moved).

This song is the last song on what I usually refer to as my first album: "The Shootout At The I'm OK, You're OK Corral." We recorded that album in two 14-hour days at County Q Studio in December of 1991 for a total recording cost of $3,000. Amazing.

The band was hilarious, organized, and really talented: Paul Scholten on drums (owner of the studio), Scott Merry on bass (former co-owner of the studio), Kerry Marx on acoustic, Larry Chaney on electric, and Bob Patin in keyboards. I still feel grateful to those guys for their excellent work on this and later albums.

One final note: all the songs on this album were selected with their titles in mind, as well as the quality of the songs. I wanted people to look at the titles, be intrigued, and want to buy the tape or CD. I'd have to say it's worked out. After 29 years it still sells well.

Thanks for reading - hope you enjoy the song. 😀
