The country-folk musician was well-known in his career for his humorous lyrics about love, life, and current events. His debut 1971 album gave way to his biggest hits like "Paradise," "Angel of Montgomery," and another that never made it into the roster.
The entire album was created with only $7,200 and some beer, and it was exactly what Prine wanted. He created it the way "I was used to playing music at my house with Dave [Prine] and Steve [Goodman].” When it came to the ballad, he ended up writing a sorrowful recognition of time passing, an incredible feat as he was only in his 20s at the time.
"And that night the owner asked me if I wanted to sing once a week. I didn’t know I was auditioning. I didn’t know what to do, how long you’re supposed to sing or anything," he explained. "So I went home and wrote a bunch of songs to fill in the time. They told me to do three sets of 45 minutes. So about the fifth time I was driving down there I thought, God, the same people are gonna be sitting there. I better have a new song."
When it came to the track's inspiration, Prine doesn't know exactly where it came from. His older brother once asked him, and the singer remembered a buried emotion from a memory of when he was scared of never seeing his brother again after he got lost at a carnival.
