“This song was inspired by a quote of mine from a songwriting workshop I was giving for the Alabama Bluegrass Music Association several years ago. An attendee asked me what type of songs I liked to write most and I answered that I liked to incorporate many of my feelings into songs but maybe I wrote more lonesome songs than any other – I then looked him in the eye and said We all got a little bit of lonesome don’t we? I paused for a second and said I need to write that down, so I did and several days later I called on my good friend and co-writer Dale Felts to help me finish it. I think it turned out well.”
