The story behind the song

"Sister Golden Hair" is a song by America from their 1975 album Hearts. Written by Gerry Beckley, the lyrics were largely inspired by the works of Jackson Browne, particularly his honest style. Beckley noted that there was no actual "Sister Golden Hair," and that the song represents a more Los Angeles-influenced lyrical approach for him. It was one of the first times he used "ain't" in a song, simply by putting himself in that frame of mind. The song tells the story of a guy who has found love but isn't necessarily looking to marry.
