  • David Crosby co-wrote this carefree, acoustic tune with North Carolina/New York singer-songwriter Becca Stevens, who also contributed to his Lighthouse album. Both artists pulled from their long periods of touring for inspiration.

    "We both spend a lot of time on the road," Crosby told Billboard magazine, "and when you're on the road, after the second or third week you don't know where you are. You're out there somewhere, and all the cities look roughly the same, and you lose track. I know it sounds funny, but it happens to us road musicians all the time, and that leads to a kind of disorientation. There's no instruction book for this, you know?"
