Songfacts®:

  • Written by the duo, this was inspired by a heartbreaking situation that Secret Sister Laura Rogers went through. "It was very simple, and we wrote it in a couple of hours," she told Billboard magazine. "It's in the vein of a more traditional country sound – more so than the rest of the record. We tried to get out of that box a little with the other songs, but that's one of the reasons I like that one so much is that it's in a familiar song territory for us."
  • This wasn't included on the standard edition of Put Your Needle Down, but does feature on the extended Cracker Barrell version of the disc. "We thought they were just going to release the album as is, but they said 'We would actually like to put some additional tracks on it,'" Laura Rogers explained. "That was great, because we got to go back to the tracks we had recorded for the second record. It was nice to have an avenue to release those songs that we were so proud of."
