This song was written, and also performed, by famed songwriter Jimmy Webb. According to Webb the line "If you see me getting smaller I'm leaving" came from Waylon Jennings. During some type of video/tv shoot Waylon told the director that the shoot was taking too long and said "If you see me getting smaller I'm leaving" before walking off into the sunset.
