One of my favourite Neil Youg songs... I heard this a couple of years ago, in the first week of my first term of university. A lot of my friends from back home stayed there, and are still there (I'm from very rural, mainly agricultural county in England)... Some I was glad to leave behind, others less so. This just reminds me of that feeling... and the lyrics seem to apply a great deal to that situation... the people you leave behind seeming to stay the same, while you move on. Not at all what it was originally about probably but that's just what it means to me.
