Trivia/Info

  • The track is based on the song 'Phantom 309', a spoken-word song by Red Sovine. It tells the story of a truck-driver who gives the narrator a lift whilst hitchhiking, only for it to transpire at a truck stop that the trucker died 10 years ago. Lyrics here. (Incidentally, the original song was the inspiration for the famous "Large Marge" scene in Pee Wee's Big Adventure, according to Wikipedia.)
