Notes[]
- While the song did not do well on the Billboard Hot 100, it did top the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for six weeks.
- The Steve Miller Band has not reached the Billboard Top 40 in 30 years, but their Greatest Hits 1974-1978 album (containing most of their classic hits) has sold over 13 million copies.
- The song's lyrics speak about turning the world around from a world of darkness to a world of light, appropriate for the scene used, Switek turns his world of darkness (Zito's death) into a world of light (clearing Zito's name).
