Written by Michael Martin Murphy. Way before he wrote Wildfire.

Two of my all-time favorite songs. I've seen Michael Martin Murphey several times, including at the Motherlode in Red River and at Wartburg College (and randomly sitting outside McDonald's in Taos around 1981). Really came to appreciate his music.

Were both from the Dallas area.
I think they knew each other from
the time they were in high school.
