This is the song Neil wrote for Ronnie Van Zandt and Lynyrd Skynyrd,they had become friends and intended to record it but never did due to that plane crash near the LA/MS state line whilst flying into Baton Rouge for a live show at LSU - 10/20/77 - Did you ever notice on Skynyrds final album Street Survivors that Ronnie is wearing a Neil Young tee shirt ? One of Neils all time best - written from the viewpoint of a Southerner during the Civil War - we learn that the narrator dies at the end of the song as he raised his rifle in an attempt to protect his family from an advancing Union warship because after all - Daddys gone !! youtube/watch?v=j7KrUM7-o70
