This song stands outside the ordinary frame of things. It's hauntingly beautiful, with an impeccable vocal by Orbison. Crystal-clean production. Why are so many great songs about going back to your roots? The narrator is working like a dog, saving up his dimes until the day he can go back with his head held high. Shades of "Detroit City" and "Omaha." But those songs are themselves shades, compared to this ethereal, gorgeous, sad song.
