A song of hillbilly nostalgia, referencing the lead singer's Tom Sawyer-like childhood. "Climb a long tall hickory / Bend it over, skinnin' cats / Playin' baseball with chert rocks / Usin' sawmill slabs for bats." In the middle section, the song pauses for some good old fashioned bluegrass picking. With a catchy chorus, harmony and traded vocal lines, and the perfect blend of country and Southern rock, this is a ballad that gets airplay to this day even on classic rock stations, deservedly.
