This song was written by Eddie Boyd and Willie Dixon. I did get to hang out with Willie Dixon for about a week in New York City. Clapton recorded it on his From The Cradle CD. This song is about being falsely accused and having alot of trouble. Job said: "Man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward" Job 5:7.
