This Song won "Honorable Mention" in the 1999 Billboard Songwriter Contest. It won honorable mention again in the Great American Song Contest the next year. The music came to me long before the words. And for a long time, I found myself strumming the riff, singing the melody, and wondering what in the world it was supposed to say. Then, most of the words just tumbled out one day, except for the bridge.

I used to sing this song live and encourage people to write some bridge lyrics for me. Luckily, eventually some came anyway. They took forever even though they are incredibly simple. Funny how that works.
