the song
i just got a new copy of this song from a cd i bought in a swap meet! the copy is very nice for some reason even from a cheap collection cd.
the cd is called 'country potluck'. has anyone got this in their collection?

When is the song actually played in the movie?
shareThe song is played over the titles and again over the end credits. As it relates the plot, it wouldn't really fit elsewhere in the film.
shareI just wanted to toss out that the song was written by Tom T. Hall. It's been said that he patterned the song after his birthplace of Olive Hill, KY. I'm from a town several miles down the road. I must say, the song and the movie certainly depicted a small "southern'ish" town very accurately...especially for 1978. I've always gotten a kick out of the song. Ya know, seeing a bunch of hoity toity snobs getting taken down a few pegs. Talk about the ultimate under dog. :)
