Daniels was inspired to write another song similar to his 1979 hit "The Devil Went Down To Georgia". While searching for ideas, Daniels remembered Woolie Swamp, an actual place in Bladen County, North Carolina where he used to night hunt as a youngster. Recalling how swamps can take on a whole different personality at night, Daniels mused that Woolie Swamp "just seemed like the kind of place a story like that could happen".[2]
