_ _ _ _ _ Just driving down to Brevard to meet up with Sarah.
We were writing that song and like I said, the whole thing just kind of came into my head,
or at least like a verse, kind of a chorus.
And we got there and put the chords along to it.
And it all seemed like it happened really fast.
I guess I probably had like 40 cups of coffee that day and I saw her a couple weeks ago
and she was like, man, you were tweaking that day.
I was like, yeah, kind of was.
But anyway, so we got the song done and I loved it.
But a couple months later we were at a Steve Martin show and we were just hanging out backstage.
I walked past the dressing room and Mike and Mike had the mandolin and the mandola out.
[A#] And they were just playing this little tune, [F] this little riff _ together.
[D] And I just like, [C] it clicked.
And I'd heard Mike playing through it a little bit before [F] and it just clicked.
That's the riff that [F#] goes with this song.
So we just [C] kind of put the two of them together.
The riff _ that kind of leads into the tune is where the instrumental little hook part in there
and then the tune that Sarah and I wrote. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I think we played it for [F] Paul Schaefer.
Paul Schaefer was on that show with [C] Steve Martin.
We got done, we were like, Paul, come in here and hear this.
We play it for him.
Yeah, right.
_ _ That's Paul.
_ _ _ _ We _ were miles and miles. _ _ _
_ _ I'm out in the open, out in the [F] open, out in the [D] open and out on the loose.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
Standing [F] in front of you, _ _ just being [C] the truth.
