Underneath the Sycamore Lyrics

Anybody ever think this is about the book Of Mice and Men? It just kindof seems like that to me. In the book it starts out with them sitting underneath a sycamore tree, and it ends the same way. And a lot of the lyrics, like, "well I was such a wretched man, searching everywhere for a homeland," really make sense like that. I don't know, just a thought.
