==Background==
==Background==
The song was originally written (under the title "I'm Your Man") in summer of 1991 while Cuomo was living at [[2914 Urban Avenue]] in Los Angeles. The song was brought back in [[1997]] for two shows as the band [[Homie]], which Cuomo described as a chance to play "goofball", "country" songs. The song was rehearsed and recorded in-studio (likely at Fort Apache Studios in Boston, MA) for a Homie album that never materialized.
