	Story Behind the Song I learned the basic riff for this song in Ghana, where it is known as 'Yaa Amponsah.' I took the main idea for the song, i.e. that of a man begging this beautiful woman to ditch her fiance and come with him, from the original highlife song. I Americanized it a bit, and made it into a song about a trucker who runs into his long lost first love.
