Songfacts®:

  • This Bobby Rambo-penned devil-may-care tune was originally recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker for his 1981 Reunion album. Thirty five years later, Walker was back in the studio laying down guitar and vocals for a Randy Rogers Band cover version.

    Randy Rogers told The Boot about the collaboration: "I'm friends with his son, Django, and I called Django and asked if maybe this could happen, so he gave me his dad's phone number. So I called Jerry Jeff Walker on the phone, which was really fun. He agreed to do it; he liked the idea.

    The song was a big hit for him back in the day, and it was a lot of fun for him to play live. He came in the studio with us and played guitar and danced around and sang and told us what to do. He's a hero to me."
