The pictures are that era, but the song is inspired by Earle's ancestor who homesteaded in Texas in the 1800s. Then it goes through to later generations of the family, though his family did not actually lose the land. It is about the disappearance of small family farms today more than migrant workers. Of course some of those migrant families did lose family homesteads.

Steve Earl showed me that country music is great. I grew up on Rock'n Roll Jimi Eric and all that stuff but during the 1980s I was burned out, country music was way way too strait for this old hippy However as a musician I knew that those good ole boys could really play, they didn't hide mistakes behind a bank of Marshalls with lots of fuzzzz. One Christmas my missus gave me Exit O and Steve Earl and the Dukes dragged me into Country music kickin' and screaming and God bless her for it. I saw him and the Dukes playing in Sydney and they were awesome, I even bought a T-Shirt.

Nice work MLW, very well put together. 'Exit 0' (the album this cut is from) was the second CD I ever purchased back in '87 when they first came out, only for the song, 'I Ain't Ever Satisfied,' which my local station was playing. I later got head deep into Springsteen and John Hiatt and rarely pulled it off the shelf, and if I did, it was usually just, 'Satisfied.' I've been revisiting some of my old CDs recently and got to, 'Exit 0.' To borrow a quote from Ebeneezer Scrooge, in, 'A Christmas Carol,' "God forgive me for the time I've wasted."
