Ahh...Mac Davis! My “neighbor” from north of here...Lubbock, Texas! :)
Thanks, maestro, for more great stories of the evolution of a songwriter/performer!

The occasional loose profanity would show up in pop music lyrics, but until
Mac Davis came along, no one had used the word hell in the title as anything but a reference to the nether regions. Here it was being used as a point of emphasis. This was groundbreaking, as was the greater explicitness of the lyrics. Note the opening guitar riff, which sounds like a muted version of the Rolling Stones guitar riff that opens Satisfaction. For 1974, it was too much soul and too little country for Nashville, which is why it ended up being recorded in Muscle Shoals.
