But it really was something that I had to get out of my system, and it helped me, sort of like therapy. I got to feelin' real good about myself and what I do for the first time in years. The next record will probably have more things like Someday and Good Ol' Boy . Q Someday is the portrait of the gas attendant caught in small-town isolation. Well, I did live in a small town outside of San Antonio, but that's not coming from that end of it as much as it is traveling on the road and seeing these people.
Interstate highways are like a tunnel that runs through the country.
You're not really in Texas, and you're not really in Ohio. It's like federal property, and you don't see the towns. I remember getting feedback from people that we met, and they didn't know what to think about us. I slopped it around to assume that character, but the town in Someday is Jackson, Tennessee. And there was a particular person, a kid who was workin' on his car.
