Story
It’s about “smart dust” – you can google for what that is. My cousin, who married a soldier, said someone should write a song about dust and sweat and Texas, where she’d been stuck while her man was stationed there. I took her up on it. Harry Monkhorst breezed into town with a professional model digital 8 track, and then took the tracks up to his studio in Gainesville and made magic with them. The drums, baritone guitar and some of the backing vocals are him, too. It’s recorded a little hot and I had a cold, and somehow that combination made it really sound like an Archers of Loaf song or something.
The word “sweat,” by the way, is being used here as both an intransitive verb (“I am sweating from the heat”) and a transitive verb (“He is really sweating her,” meaning making frequent and forceful romantic overtures).
