The opening lines from 76 are relics from back when I was writing the songs on Bay to Maples midway through the last decade. I had written Where We've Been, You Won't Burn Me, and Bay to Maples with my guitar tuned to an obscure alternative tuning with a C# and three E's, and before I restrung the guitar I'd also written "I was born in the early morn on a 76 gasoline station convenience store floor, felt like I had been there before." Three years later Peters and I picked it up again and spun it into a reincarnation story about a convenience store clerk and her lover.
