Like the rest of the album, it was recorded at his Rundown Studios in Santa Monica with his 1978 touring band.
The words
A traveller asks a mysterious guide where they are heading and how long the ordeal will last.
A weary traveller speaks to a mysterious guide he calls Señor, asking where they are heading and how long the journey will last. The verses are full of uneasy questions and scenes from a harsh landscape, hinting at a past love and a world close to catastrophe. By the end his patience runs out and he longs to break free and tear things down. The tone is brooding and tense, a dark journey with no clear destination.
