This song is a good explanation of why people must go on to the next life. As in the chorus "Where'd you go baby buffalo? What's become of old cotton eyed joe? Hold up, lying low, long gone come a summertime snow". People will not be around for a long time. I think it may be relating to his brother's death. He talks about a doctor and if you listen to "Enough to be on your way" from the album "Hourglass" it is very similar. Great song from JT.
