Composition [edit]
Rodney Crowell wrote the song while working for Jerry Reed'south publishing visitor. At the time, he was hanging out with noted songwriters Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Steve Runkle, and wanted to bear witness his own songwriting skill.[two]
In hindsight, Crowell expresses regret at rhyming "been" with "can" in the lyric "What you lot've seen is what I've been/There is cypher I could hide from you/You see me better than I tin." Had he written the vocal after in his career, Crowell says he would have spent time to find a hard rhyme. Crowell marvels when people tell him this song is their favorite of his.[2] Crowell's version was released on his 3rd (self titled) album in 1981.
Crowell wrote the song back-to-dorsum with "Song for the Life" (recorded on his debut album Own't Living Long Like This) in the 1970s and says both are a "projection into the future that I afterward lived through . . . and it was exactly like I predicted."[two]
