Doaker, Boy Willie, and Lymon sit down around a table and talk about their home in Mississippi, the area that the family is from. They talk about Sutter, his land, the ghosts of the Yellow Dog, and the truck full of watermelons that they brought with them up to Pittsburgh. This makes me think of "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The song is about how proud the band is about being from the south and that they do not know much more than that, the same vibe I get from Lymon and Boy Willie. I don’t I know they are not from Alabama, but the lyrics fit “Big wheels keep on turning, carry me home to see my kin”, Boy Willie is riding in the truck on his way to see his kin. Plus the truck full of watermelons that keep breaking down just seems like something that you would see in Alabama.
