I came up with the idea for this song on a conference call that I wasn't paying attention to. The structure was inspired by the Pixies song “Havalina,” basically the same set chord progression repeated a number of times, with two instrumental bits book-ending a vocal part. I guess Big Band songs from the 40s did that as well. The lyrics are a shout out to my mom's love of Western movies and I think the trumpet captures that mood perfectly.
