Story behind the song
It was at my buddy Fred's bachelor party back in 2000. We had just come from a rousing game of paintball ... half the crew rolled back to the house, the rest of us hit the bar. As we sat there, this older guy who was sitting at the bar alone busted out with a song from who knows when and when he was done, everyone in the place burst out in applause. It was one of the craziest things I've seen ... and I've seen a bit. Anyhow, I went up to talk with him ... turned out, he'd led a very interesting life and just liked to sing. His point? Life's too short. It really made me think. I realized how important it is to just get up and get out the door. If you don't, this great big world can get very small.
