One of my favorite songs of any era. I always found it deeply moving. Love the female backing vocals.

The origin of my Nickname "Couger". In the late 90's when John Mellencamp dropped his middle name "Couger" - I adopted the name about 17 years ago and modified it slightly to "Cougie" (the name needed a home). Since then, its been changed again slightly to "Cou" or "Cou Cou" - No Joke. Anyway, Cool Vid and acoustic tune regardless. Mellancamp jams.

Heard someone say the song was written about poverty. That means all the images and lyrics are dripping with satire.

The first lines in this song, which apparently were inspired by John Mellencamp's elitist disgust for a guy sitting in a lawn chair in front of his house next to an interstate, have always irritated me. And then he later mocks people with steady jobs who "work in a high rise" and then vacation in Mexico. It's an utterly condescending and anti-American song. Like, I don't understand what Mellencamp is proposing-- Does he think that the guy should be disgusted with himself that he lives by a roadway, and unhappy with his life because he does not have a beach house and a yacht? Is he suggesting that American society has failed this man by allowing him to be contented with sitting in front of his pink house in a lawnchair? Not everyone can aspire to be a multi-platinum recording artist. Owning a home in America, be it in front of a large motorway or not, suggests at least a certain level of stability and success that could only be dreamed of by the vast majority of humans who have lived throughout all of history. The fact that the black man sitting in his lawnchair by the interstate can be contented with his life is evidence of how far living conditions have progressed and of the level to which American freedom has allowed individuals to live the lives they choose. Not evidence of some failure of the American system like Mellencamp suggests. Gosh I am so sick of hearing this song on the radio at work.
