In Their Words: "Part of my childhood was spent up in Northern California, near Grass Valley, in a rural community called Smartville. Also, I had a mighty smart mouth when I was a boy, which sometimes got me into trouble … and an actual fight or two. The melody has a bit of the smart mouth in it, and contains some of the feeling of riding bikes down the long, steep, winding way to Englebright Lake in Smartville." — Ron Block
