Background and writing

According to Tom the song was written after he was approached by a policeman when he was hitchhiking through Leamington, Ontario, and was told to write "a nice lovable song about our nice lovable town of Leamington". Tom said the policeman had two belts on, one around his waist and one going from his waist to the shoulder.
