"I dreamt the hook, 'you’re
in Atlanta and I’m in a Whole
Lotta Pain,' in 1994. I tried
to write or co-write it into a song
several times, but never liked the results.
One night I was listening to a blues
jam, and I realized the hook fit into
a 12-bar blues pattern. I started writing
rhyming couplets." — San

Jeff Ingram suggested doubling the
first line to fill out the 12-bar blues
progression.
Ernie
had a 12-bar blues progression
he'd been working on. During a break
while working on One
Lonely Rider, they put the lyrics
and music together. Ernie
suggested the bridge which they wrote
together.
