	Story Behind the Song 'Twas a dark and foggy night on the way home from the Blues jam session at Blues on Grand in Des Moines. I was embroiled in a mental struggle concerning my Algebra II students' lack of knowledge about such things as complimentary angles, absolute values, and the infamous "distance=rate x time" formula. Thus this song was born as I passed the school on the highway back to my motel home. Go ahead...try to understand! Lyrics STORY PROBLEM Well, that time you gave me a compliment, babe I just knew I had to get the right angle Yeah, that time you gave me a compliment, babe I just knew I had to get the right angle I thought you could supplement my lovin', hon' But I did a 180 straight into a tangle Every time I make a move The way you distance yourself's so unkind Every time I make a move, pretty babe The way you distance yourself's so unkind At any rate, girl I just can't make me no time I can't make no time with you, honey And it's all about distance, rate, and time [harp: Hart] Well, it's just less than friendly the way you ignore me And that's greater than I can bear Yes, it's just less than friendly the way you ignore me And that's greater than I can bear At most you flash me that insincere smile At least I really know that you don't care Now the absolute value of all this Is the physical distance between me and you Oh, the absolute value of all this, baby Is the physical distance between me and you Ain't nobody messed with my mind like you have This story problem is all about you
