Chapin wrote this song. Love Joan Baez but she doesn't have the gift of words that Chapin does.Give her albums a listen. This is biographical.She was 10 when RFK train went by her hometown in 1968. " My father held me on his shoulders....."
I never knew Joan Baez wrote this -- and now that I do, of course, of course -- it is clear as a bell to me. I love you Joan -- Gail Zermeno (one of my sister's best friends) used to bring your son, Gabriel, to our house in Palo Alto when I was a little girl...
@onitram1 I think the blurb referred to MCC's big production style on Come On, Come On, from 1992. Stones in the Road, released in 1994, was a lot folkier.

I love them both. I have just love one longer than the other. Neither has gotten the credit they deserve.

This song was written by MCC, not Joan Baez. Joan covered it in her album Play Me Backwards before MCC recorded it--but it is still a MCC song

@SLFinSF This was written by Chapin- she only let Joan record this before she herself used it.

The Stones in the Road album by MCC was released in 1994. The 1992 album was Come On, Come On.

I think you misread the details, which are referring to JOAN'S 1992 album, not MCC's.

Mary Chapin Carpenter wrote the song and sings it in almost every live concert. MCC writes all of her own lyrics.

Disagreeing with that comment Taddy1 . I thought Mary had captured the exact intimacy in the first verse of D and R..Sophia.

This is MUCH better than their duet on Diamonds and Rust.
