Yeah, us in Oklahoma like his words, they say something like truck go by corderoy legs go whoop whoop whoop

[Blakavaar]

Great song for when you look back on a gone relationship and facepalm "what was I thinking?" 1:45

Brilliance!!

[murphstrings]

great! i bought this 45 when it came out! i was a huge Roger fan as a young wannabe guitarist. i was disappointed (at age 10) with 'husbands and wives' but this was the B side and i liked it a lot.

[UncleJim46]

@murphstrings Actually, you had a great record . . . a 2-sided hit! Husbands and Wives gives quite a lot to think about . . . with those those lyrics. And this song is just the best.

me too ya never hear it

[Deronleemiller]

this is probably one of my favorite songs of his
