Content



Thom Schuyler said that after he wrote the song, he considered it "too much of an 'industry' kind of song" and had it filed away until a publisher asked if he had any new material. A song plugger then took it to producer Billy Sherrill, who produced Dalton's recording of it. Dalton also sang it at the opening of the 1982 Country Music Association awards telecast.

The location referred to in the song is Music Row in Nashville, which in the 1960s was being changed from residential homes to refurbished office space for the music industry.
