Yep! exactly it. Good luck with your next version!
Related: have you looked at 'back room in Tulsa'? I'm tempted to do that one or 'Dad's Glad', because both have a lot of great, wide dynamics bass action, and the challenge is how much room to give it in the mix. It seems a shame to cut any at all, but if you don't the vocals may well suffer. Another example with a big acoustic bass part is 'cog in the machine'.
