Content

The song is an autobiographical account of Cash's unpleasant childhood. Cash has attributed his inspiration for this song as Home of the Blues record shop on Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee, which operated from the late 1940's until the mid 1970's. He used to hang out there, buy records and meet other musicians including the owner Ruben Cherry.[citation needed]
