Telephones in Traffic? What inspired this one?

That song is about a family member that actually left
me when I was thirteen, So a lot of my
music is about my childhood and it all is very nostalgic.

Speaker 1 (00:58):

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, And it's called Telephones in Traffic because well, one
of my lines of the song is like I missed
your exit past it. I passed that exit a lot
when I go places back to that home where I
used to live in, and so I think about it
a lot, and I don't go on that specific exit
ever anymore. So that's yeah, that's a little bit about
