“I grew up maybe a thousand yards from the Ohio River, if that, and that was where we spent every day when it was nice. My family had a boat; I learned to ski on that river. My favorite memory of all time as a kid are the mornings at our boat with my dad and my grandpa. There’s something about that as being in my opinion the answer to happiness. And this song was sort of my take on what makes for a great time, really any time of year, but I think when you strip it all down, for me, that’s what it would be. As a kid that grew up as a river rat, that was our destination.”
