The story behind this song is quite sad. Here was man who was tired of traveling the road. It was during one of his breaks, he went out and sat on the dock and wrote this song. Shortly after writing song,he died a few weeks later in a plane crash, at the age of 26. The song is about him. Otis had become a weary traveler, when he recorded the song his throat gave out, so he decided to whistle at the end of the song.
