I always figured this was a Robert Hunter song, but it was written by Bob McDill and Allen Reynolds and first appeared on McDill's 1972 debut album "Short Stories", a record I don't recall ever stumbling across. It was covered quickly by others; Johnny Duncan, who had a hit with it, Don Gibson, and Jerry Garcia.
Here's McDill's original from 1972:

The song is a nice piece of Americana that would fit right into a Wolf Bros. set.
