On the Live gigs, Cooley often tells the story before he starts this song. The story goes that he used to live in a crappy apartment above an old guy who wouldn't mind him throwing wild parties, being up late, the television blarring loud and openly breaking some laws but "the second he so much as looked at a guitar", the old boy below him would call the cops. He could be playing really quiet so Cooley himself could just about hear it and somehow the old boy was able to hear and call the cops. There are some excellent youtube videos of him giving a full explanation before he plays the song which are worth watching just because cooleys so funny... add to that a kick-ass song and this is one of my fav live performances by the truckers.
