A contribution from blues singer Dave Walker for his only Fleetwood Mac appearance on the Penguin album, it is a smooth bluegrass flavoured tune where his barrelling blues style works in a far more subtle approach as he waxes lyrical about how he is ordered to get out by 'a man in a trenchcoat'. Its a deceptive tune and his vocals on the oft covered track 'I'm a Roadrunner' are pretty engaging too, but alas he was outnumbered by the band's weighty talent pool; the dual styles of Bob Welch's patented dreamy ballads and Christine McVie's equally serene pop rockers.
