Formed in the summer of 1981 by high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner, Soul Asylum (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hsker Dand The Replacements. Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will... Everything Can Happen in 1984 (later reissued as Say What You Will, Clarence... Karl Sold the Truck), Made to Be Brokenin 1986, While You Were Outin 1986, and the EP Clam Dip And Other Delightsin 1988. The band then switched to A&M, releasing Hang Timein 1988 and And the Horse They Rode in Onin 1990 under that label.

When Im with my friends my troubles end
Im one of the boys, so self employed
When were together, could last forever
And Im almost there
Im away from the boss, at least for awhile
Im away from the girls that cramp my style
Im away from the jerks, Im away from the works
And Im almost there, Im almost there
And its happy time, happy, happy time
Its happy time, happy time, happy time
Got a happy head, so happy, happy time
I wish I could be this happy all the time
Ill take one of those, and four of those
And more of those, and more of those
Im away from the jerks, Im away from the works
And Im almost there, Im almost there
