The song’s affectionate title is inspired by Peverett's infamous stage introduction, “…on Tonsils and Sneakers, I’m Lonesome Dave,” and pays homage to the iconic shiny silver or gold sneakers he always wore on stage.

This song was also written by FOGHAT’s current lineup: founding drummer Roger Earl, lead singer/guitarist Scott Holt, slide guitarist/engineer/co-producer Bryan Bassett, bassist/vocalist Rodney O’Quinn. FOGHAT chose to release both songs as a heartfelt tribute to their two original members. Founding member Roger Earl continues to keep the music alive, always paying respect to the bands roots and acknowledging the lasting contributions of Dave and Rod to the band’s enduring legacy.
