The idea for this song, about friends who grow up and go their separate ways, was Toby Keith's, says co-writer Scotty Emerick. The idea was hatched on an airplane, and the song was written in a Las Vegas hotel room. The characters are all made-up people who Toby and Scotty created and gave lives to. Scotty says, "I have the FPL line in there - Florida Power and Light," and with a laugh, "We got Waffle House Diner in there. I really wanted that to be in there, that was funny." Waffle House is a popular restaurant chain in the American south. (Thanks to Scotty Emerick for speaking with us about this song. Learn more in his full interview or at his website.)

"I had this idea for a long time," says Toby Keith. "Scott and I were talking one night and I said those words - 'I had a lot of nights I can't remember, but I was with friends I'll never forget.' So we were in Vegas for a few nights, working on some songs, and we turned it into a story song about a group of guys in a band who were closer than brothers. It's a good story song."
