| Kelly Willis – Talk Like That Lyrics

Kelly credits Ricky Skaggs' southern accent with inspiring this song. Kelly was homesick, on tour, when she heard Skaggs at a press conference. The experience reminded her of her of her youth and Oklahoma family, especially her grandmother. She wrote the song in 2 hrs in her hotel room after hearing Skaggs. |

Merchant was recently asked about this song on a BBC program. She explained it was about an experience in Europe when she was "probably 20". It was about someone (who she never saw - she called the man "fictitious") in the room next to her playing opera all day. Joking she said "he drove me insane". |
