Composition [edit]
Rodney Crowell wrote the song while working for Jerry Reed'south publishing company. At the fourth dimension, he was hanging out with noted songwriters Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Steve Runkle, and wanted to show his ain songwriting skill.[2]
In retrospect, Crowell expresses regret at rhyming "been" with "tin" in the lyric "What y'all've seen is what I've been/There is nothing I could hide from you lot/Yous run into me ameliorate than I can." Had he written the song later in his career, Crowell says he would have spent time to notice a hard rhyme. Crowell marvels when people tell him this song is their favorite of his.[2] Crowell's version was released on his third (self titled) album in 1981.
Crowell wrote the song back-to-back with "Song for the Life" (recorded on his debut album Ain't Living Long Similar This) in the 1970s and says both are a "projection into the future that I afterward lived through . . . and it was exactly similar I predicted."[2]
