Dropped out of college (for a year) back in the 70's due to lack of $$ and the best job I could find was about 20 miles from my home in Central Florida at the phosphate mines near Bartow/Mulberry. It payed better than most local stuff but it was damn hard work. Hot, hard, had to wear a mask because of the phosphate dust....,even had to drive through a shower on the way out after work to help protect the paint on your vehicle. But for some reason, the local channel on my car radio seemed to play this song every morning maybe a half hour before sunrise as I left for work. Probably a soundtrack or whatever that they had to play. But I remember getting on the road, having that first cigarette of the day and hearing this song. Made everything seem a bit more mellow to face the day.
