Springsteen never had a job doing something other than making music, but many of his songs deal with characters who work very hard trying to get by. In this song, Springsteen looks at how work can lead us to take desperate measures.
The original title was "Child Bride."
Springsteen originally recorded this as part of a demo he taped in his house in 1982. This tape became the Nebraska album.
