not exactly pointless, it's about a southern boy going home, and he sure is glad he is. But it is a very simple tune, nothing really challenging. You mentioned Cry cry cry, yes that and Big river are both better.
nice vid .......... I just never got the fuss about this song . I get it was his 1st an it ment alot to him ... but it really dont belong on al the damn best ofs .. CRY CRY CRY was the better song in my opinion .. HEY PORTER took me a lifetime to like .. an it kina just goes over peoples heads .. lacks good melody . musically is as basic as possible ..the lyrics an delivery is just pretty uneventfu an pointless ...
