What is a song that makes you think of your first job? - Trouble In the Fields by Nanci Griffith
I was a farm kid, but my last few years at home were marked by the drought that finally led my family to give up that life after more than 100 years and take what are called "public jobs" - ones where you have a boss, but also a paycheck. This song, by the unforgettable Nanci Griffith (RIP) captures the heartbreak.
