I'm surprised no one has commented on this song yet. It's a fantastic song about the lead singer's mother's second marriage and a new lease on life. Just listen to the long intro of the song in their live Austin. It explains all.

Exactly. Patterson gives much more info when they perform this song live. Chester also just passed away a couple weeks ago. RIP Chester.

The live version is 100 times better. I heard the Gangstability album version (Is that the right album? Can't remember off hand) of this first and wasn't really impressed but then I heard the live version and it blew me away. I cried the first few times I heard the live version... especially as I knew that Chester had died by the time I heard it.

Legend has it that Chester killed 4 men in their sleep to escape a POW camp...
