Badge and Gun

This next song is a cowboy song that I wrote a few years ago. I think I played it live once, ever. It's that good. [Laughs] But it's a favorite song of a couple friends of mine. My friend Bob Saget, it's his favorite song. So if you want to send a video to Bob Saget, please "at" Bob Saget. And then my tour manager Ken, it's his favorite song, he said.

I wrote this when I was having trouble with my voice, and I just wanted to get back on the road. I put myself in the mindset of being a sheriff. Just wanted to get back out there.

If you were to make a list of the songs that are the most liked, thought about and talked about, Badge and Gun would be very close to the bottom, if not the bottom. But Badge and Gun was my dear friend Bob Saget's favorite song of mine. And so effectively, it just became his song, because no one else ever talked about it. And so Badge and Gun almost was like, "you can have that one, Bob." That one, no one else has ever claimed that song. And how special it would become when sadly Bob passed away several years ago. And I took another look at the song and realized maybe Bob is the lead character in this song. Maybe he's the one who got called to somewhere else behind those hills. And sad as it is, he lives on in this song because he just loved it. And so now I think about him every time I hear it and every time I play it. It's Badge and Gun. We miss you Bob Saget. We love you.
