I was a bit of a wild child! My circumstances are different now, but that girl is alive and well and she wanted a song. Paul and I built this together at Speakeasy Sound with Ed Benrock from Jamestown Revival on drums. Paul created a loop out of Ed’s drums, and Matt Hornbeck came in with killer guitar parts. It became that nostalgic 80s/early 90s thing I was wanting it to be. I needed it to take us back to sneaking out of our windows and making out in someone’s mom’s car. It makes me smile how many people say this is their favorite track. I brought John Thomas in to play piano on this to simplify and speed up the session. It was the very last song we needed to finish for the digital release. The deadline for getting it to our amazing mixing engineer Ryan Hewitt was fast approaching. I got great vocals at Willie Breeding’s home studio in Nashville. He’s a great engineer and was patient as I figured out the background vocals.
