Instagram about the situation that drove him to write the song: After not being home for a year and a half I drove out to my mothers gravestone in the dead of night a few days back on familiar
Oklahoma roads and I came to realize just like in the past, that she never would call me again Told her I quit touring because I got accepted to get my masters in Paris next year, I told her I was back in Oklahoma, told her about all my best friends in New York and all the nights we howled with the moon, told her about the immeasurable laughter my band and me have shared these last five years, all the calluses on my finger tips, every tear shed, told her about making it on The
Rolling Stone and most importantly told her about porch swinging with my beautiful sister. I wrote the chorus for this song a month or two back and finished it when I realized I was blessed with all these things. The song was also released amid his highly-publicized breakup with Internet personality Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia and her allegations of emotional abuse against him. ==Composition and lyrics==
