Composition [edit]
Rodney Crowell wrote the song while working for Jerry Reed'due south publishing visitor. At the time, he was hanging out with noted songwriters Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Steve Runkle, and wanted to show his own songwriting skill.[2]
In retrospect, Crowell expresses regret at rhyming "been" with "can" in the lyric "What yous've seen is what I've been/There is naught I could hide from yous/You see me better than I can." Had he written the song after in his career, Crowell says he would have spent fourth dimension to find a difficult 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) anthology 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 "project into the future that I subsequently lived through . . . and information technology was exactly like I predicted."[2]
