The band's keyboardist David Gates wrote this one night at the dining room table, after his kids and wife had gone to bed. It took him about an hour and a half, with an extra verse left over. He said it’s the best song he had ever written and probably will be the best song he’ll ever write. | Paul B. Leonor | Facebook
