One of my favorites. Another religious hymnal country hybrid. This is like Blues.
I love the sadness of this song. If god doesn't exist. Then your wasting your time in thinking someone else will take care of your problems. a
If anyone asks you, "You don;t look so good whats wrong?"

Lord, take away these chains from me"
And they will never speak to you again because your so deep
Jk. The chains are just responsibilities that are not of his free will.
There's a boss man at the turn in the road
with a rifle in his hand (If he wanted to quit his job theres a boss ready to use force at the "turn in road.
He wants to "make a turn in road" (change his current direction)

BAsically poor guy has to work his whole life in a beautiful land but can't enjoy it as much because he has no money, no wife, 9 kids and mounting debt. Add to that he's working to exhaustion
I imagine a dude who is like 55 looks 65 (retirement)
Possible themes: retirement, labor, American Dream gone bad (debt, no money, too many kids, wife died, work sucks)

During the great dust bowl many, many farmers in the mid-west lost their farms and fled to California where they became migrant workers on other peoples farms. These people worked long hours for extremely low pay. Life for workers on these farms was desperate and violent. People were literally starving while they were surrounded by food on the farms they worked. Hence the rifle.
