Story Behind The Song

Nancy B. Swimm, an old friend of mine and a coooool hippie gal, sent me the verse lyrics and asked if I could put some music to them. Even without her prompting it reminded me of something that the late great John Prine might've come up with. So I went to work coming up with the appropriate chorus lyrics. We hope you'll enjoy the song and the message.
