Song History
According to a 2014 Jambands.com interview with Boyd, he associates this song with LeRoi, and he had to leave stage the first time they played it after LeRoi's death (8.22.08).

The original title, "Paul Simon," comes from the Paul Simon song "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" and the similarities between the two songs' drum beats.
