Tennessee

In spring of 1973 I decided to leave Chicago and relocated to Nashville. It was quite a change to move from the bustle of a big city to the relative tranquility of the beautiful Tennessee countryside. I spent a lot of my free time exploring the country back roads, just wandering.

I loved living there, but few musicians made much money gigging around Nashville. There was plenty of studio work, but if you wanted to perform live for $, you had to hit the road. So it seems every couple of months I was on the road heading for gigs. I would while away those long highway hours singing to myself in the car, writing songs – and this is one that came as I was making my way back to home to Tennessee.
