The story behind the song

This song was inspired by Neil Young's 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse, affectionately known as "Mort" or "Mortimer Hearseburg." It appears on the 1976 album of the same name, a collaboration between Young and Stephen Stills. The lyrics evoke a sense of enduring affection and a fond farewell to a cherished companion. At its heart, it plays like a heartfelt ode to something that has been a long and faithful presence in one's life.
