Dickey Betts and John Prestia wrote "No One to Run With" around 1982, and then it sat on the shelf for more than a decade. The group Betts, Hall, Leavell and Trucks demoed it around 1983 but never landed a record deal, so the song waited until the Allman Brothers Band finally cut it for Where It All Begins in 1994.
Tom Dowd produced, with Jay Mark recording and mixing, and the band rides the whole thing on a Bo Diddley beat. It climbed to No. 7 on the US mainstream rock chart, went onto the soundtrack of the film The Cowboy Way that same year, and later turned up in an episode of King of the Hill.
