    Story Behind the Song
    I had been on the road for 30 months trying to get signed, then, with Dog Ear Records, supporting the LP. It was Christmas. I was in Chicago looking out a hotel window. I wrote the beginning of this and all of ChOse Wrong.

    I went to Champaign to play the Red Herring.

    I met Josh Bragg at a party at UofI and he added an inside out turn of the chords and by dawn, we had finished this tune.

    I went back Chi to finish the LP. We put both songs on the album and it was done.

    Recording was simple back then, I was a single. I laid down my tracks, got on a Grey Hound, and went on the road. Studio cats hired by the record label did all the work.

    Lyrics
    1. Just stopped by to tell you
    I was thinkin your name
    stopped by to ask you baby
    mind if I hang around
    +++++++++BR+++++++++++++
    on the tail of a wester
    just blew into town
    stopped by to ask you babe
    do you still feel the same
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    2. I's kinda wondrin
    just how it might feel
    to feel those same old streets
    beneath my feet
    ===========ch========
    I come back home Lord
    part boy and part man
    come lookin for shelter form my poor soul
    with my hat in my hand
    =========================
    3. I's kinda reachin
    seekin to find
    a place to rest my weary bones
    thru the gray mists of time
    ============ch==============
    Sit me down by the fire, ma
    I got some stories to tell
    put my walkin shoes on
    a back closet shelf
    ==============================
