I think in this case because Gord wrote that song at the request of the girlfriend of a member of the band "April Wine" and he sat down at that particular request and wrote the song in about ten minutes. It probably was written in a state of mindset with the best of intentions of trying to send a caring message to the friend. It's no secret that Gord's friends are friends. Remember this lyric from "Highway Songs" "Every one that I call friend knows they will not be forgot," Hope this helps. Ron Jones
