The song is titled "San Quentin" after the San Quentin State Prison in Northern California. Nickelback Frontman Chad Kroeger set his mind on naming a song after the prison after he met the warden at a party a few years back and spent a good amount of time conversing with him. "The entire time we were talking, I'm speaking to this guy, but in my head all I could think was, I'm gonna write a song called 'San Quentin.' That's it," the singer recalled. "I stuck it in my phone, and then once the riff was down, I think I screamed out this line: 'Can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin.'" Source: Loudwire
