To me, Lionkiller has always been about Cass himself, which is rare since he rarely sings about himself. To me this is one of the few exceptions.
I know Cass must be somewhat of a Hank Williams fan since he referenced Lovesick Blues as a "foundational.... thing" in his Guitar Moves video. "My hair is still curly and my eyes are still green" is clearly a reference to "My hair is still curly and my eyes are still blue" from Why Don't You Love Me by Hank Williams. It seems to be the perfect example of how he references other artists and media but modifies it to make it his own.
