In Their Words: “This little song was inspired by the advice that Gus tells Lori in McMurtry’s masterpiece, Lonesome Dove. I mean, we’d all be just a little bit happier sometimes if we’d just stop to smell the biscuits. I really liked this song when I wrote it. Then Bruce and the gang got ahold of it in the studio and now it’s one of my favorites. I’m very proud of myself and this record. It’s the most real and vulnerable I’ve ever been with my writing.” — Summer Dean
