Album: Bad Love
Something in me can't be straight about romance. I don't completely mean this song - I'm not going to move up next door to my first wife, who lives in Idaho. This one reminds me of that Neil Young song, "Look Out For My Love," which says, "it's in your neighborhood," like, beware. But "I Miss You" is genuine. I love my ex-wife. My boys told me I better warn her that this song was coming. She knows me, though - she knows I'd sell anyone out for a song. We were married 18 years and I never wrote a song about her in all that time. Actually, I've never written a song about anyone in my whole life.
