This song reminds me of forgotten friends and lost lovers and how we grow apart. All of a sudden you remember a past life, and realize how long itās been, how different things were then and how you canāt get it back. But in Willieās way, thereās a some lightheartedness too. You can imagine him smoking on a porch, having a ball wasting time, which is often what life is about. The Al Green version is also good.
