i cant believe there is only 20,827 hits to this song . . . i hope its because no one has heard this on plastic fm radio and not because people dont have good taste for music LOL . . . WHAT A GREAT SONG ! i just heard this for the first time on sirius xm and im 53 . . . FM only plays jackie blue . . . if you want to get to heaven . . . green grass and high tides . . . . shame on FM radio and clear channel , WHAT A JOKE FM IS !
TotalHealth , you are exactly right . I have listened to this song since it came out and to really appreciate it you have to close your eyes to get that trance like effect. very cool song by one of the most over looked bands ever.
Crazy! had to get my "glasses" to read the back of the cd to read the name of this!! Favorite in 1976 and now I'm 52...Wish music was like this again. Going to expose my grandkids to all this wonderful music and hopefully it will live on.. peace out homey's!!
Heard this album 1st time in english class,HS in 73, Indiana. Teacher was older classy lady, avant garde who let us listen to albums to get our creative side going. I thank her and my classmate who borrowed his older bro's album.

I first heard of the Ozarks at boarding school in the UK in `74. They had a small cult following here in the early seventies and one of the seniors used to play this and other songs out through his courtyard study window in the Summer. Got me completely hooked. Now 35 years on they sound just as good on my ipod!
heard this for the first time today.what an amazing song Heard it on xm radio as the sun was setting along an old winding road. coming home from work it was great
What an amazing song. Brings back so many memories and feelings of a period in my life, not all of them great but in reflection all necessary in my life's journey. I remember when I first heard the Ozarks and how their music touched me. Their music always came from the heart weather it was deep and introspective like this song or light and easy like "Country Girl". Awesome band.
I had the good fortune to meet and get to know some of the guys back in the 70s after my asian vacation. 3 rd trip there, met them through and in the School of Metaphysics, I am an ol' Zarker (slang for Ozarks) I think the guys music helped me as much as the S.O.M did. Brought my soul near to peace at times it did, and it brings tears to remember back to those days. Good ones at that. Semper Fi. "Doc"
Easily one the best OMD tunes every created. Musically brillant...excellent lyrics. I hum this tune all the time....in an almost dream like trance (borrowing from TotalHealth). Brings back so many memories. This kind of music is no more...but thank God we had the intelligence to preserve it.
I always think of the sunrises and sunsets and of the wind flowing through the deserts and mountains of my home state of New Mexico when I hear this song. The harmonica sails like the southwest breeze; warm, inviting, soothing. The fiddle, particularly in the opening of the song, makes me feel like I'm standing silently as the sun rises or sets. When the sky turns shades of fiery red or soft oranges and yellows. This is the perfect song to experience God's creation with.
Here's to my old roomates,,,,Reg ...Vince...Randy...Dan who use to clime through the window at 3am who left us years ago...Think about you guy's when I hear this song....Happy trails men...
the first time I heard this song I was driving an eighteen wheeler through Alabama in a thunderstorm. The pines were swaying in the wind, it was surreal. I still love the song, can never get tired of it.
Great song.I haven't heard this since the '70's.Thanks for the reminder.

But there is a road
To glory
Somehow hidden in
The past
Behind the gold
Behind the treasure
Behind the mask
These lyrics are great. It's all about redemption and another chance. Via Jesus.

Excellent tune. This and Colorado
song are the best. It seems to me
thatp part of these lyrics came from
and old childrens story I read many
years ago; especially the part about
when the judge checks his supper
its so small. If anyone remembers
this story could you post the name?
