"Rest of My Life" first surfaced on Elva, the 2001 album from San Diego's Unwritten Law, and it's Scott Russo's song top to bottom: he wrote the words and the music and sings it. Josh Abraham produced and mixed it, with Michael "Miguel" Happoldt and the band chipping in extra production, and the credits spread the playing around, with Rob Brewer and Steve Morris on guitar, Tony Kanal and Pat Kim on bass and Wade Youman behind the kit.
The Elva take never went out as a single and never charted. The song's second wind came from a different recording, an unplugged version cut live for the 2003 acoustic album Music in High Places, and that one went to No. 16 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart at Billboard.
