A hard-driving electric blues built on a slide-guitar riff.
The words
A restless man stuck in a city he dislikes demands straight talk from the woman he is with.
Trapped in a town he despises, an uneasy man presses his companion to stop lying to him. He swings between boasts, threats, jokes and complaints, never settling long enough to explain himself, and the verses pile up odd details of his discontent. The refrain keeps pressing for straight talk he does not seem to expect. It is a hard-driving electric blues built on a slide-guitar riff, loud and relentless.
