I WROTE THIS SONG: with Cord Phillips to help out the Nashville-based charity Soles4Souls, and we thought the best way to do so was to get involved creatively. Rather than simply writing an advertisement for them, we wanted to convey the feeling that any amount of giving is significant. Every download of the song is donated to S4S and provides one pair of shoes to someone in need.
