…I was working at a couple of contracting jobs, which meant at various points working a number of allnighters; starting work at 5PM (after finishing up the day’s contracting!) and working until like 11AM the next morning.

And I owned exactly two CDs. And one of them was The Ghost of Tom Joad, which, with the Lord as my witness, includes no hummable songs whatsoever.

And the other one was the one this song is off of – and so this song for me is forever associated with being exhausted, and up and working in the wee hours, and freezing my ass off from either the chilly room or the fatigue.
UPDATE: Well, TGOTJ includes almost no hummable songs. Now that I mention it, I do have “Sinaloa Cowboys” stuck in my head.
