In Their Words: “I wrote this with an old friend of mine named Bob Smith. Bob did extra work in the movies back in the ’50s, mainly Westerns. We were comparing our life stories and decided we were both graduates from the school of hard knocks. As I remember, the song pretty much wrote itself.” — Will Beeley
