Keeping it simple was my idea, ... I wanted the recording to sound like way back, before they used even drums.
He follows me very well, and sometimes I have to follow him, ... It just comes out good. The guy's good, you know. He's been around. And I've been around a long time, too.
I was separated from my wife at the time. A lot of people think I wrote it about prison.
