Back in the early 70s, BIG BROTHER (now minus Janis) did a song called "I'll Change Your Flat Tire, Merle". Like this song, it was a tribute to a wonderful songwriter. Lighten up, kids...it's only words and music.

Ya know,he pist (yes pist, pissed to you yankees) me off when he said he hated skynyrd and KISS but I got over it. Everybody has a right to their opinion even if it sux.He was writing great songs b4 these fugs were even singing.Chill, I like them too. Steve rocked b4 9/11 but after that he changed. That's cool, we all did. WTF was condi, please. We shared roots, then he went off to d.c. in his mind and left the rest of us behind. Watch austin city limits & 20th century masters & see the heart.
@DanceTheSos Name dropper? The song is about her listening to Steve Earle's music and wanting him to write a song for her, too. I wouldn't really call that "name dropping". She's not using his name to make it sound like she's tight with him or anything, you know what I mean?
Could you please tell me how to add audio songs to videos like this? I want to add a song to a home video, but I'm not sure how. Could you help me? Thanks.
I don't know. People say that you need Microsoft Video Maker, but I don't think I have that, AND i THOUGHT THERE WAS (oops, caps lock) a way to put it on here so long as you have a profile and iTunes.
Ohhh I see. Alright well, I don't know how to put it on iTunes, but I do know where you can download Windows Movie Maker, which would be the easiest to use. Unless you have a Mac? Would you like me to send you the link?
@Chris123TV No, it's "dime". I used to think it was "I promise not to take you down, when it comes my time to leave", but I researched it, and it actually IS "I promise I won't take a dime".
babababababa!!!! this song is freeking halarious!!! i was listening to it in da car and my mom got soo pissed off dat she almost ran off the rode!! lol lol lol lol lol
I really wasnt questioning your devotion as a fan, apparently you are a big fan, coz you knew the Bob Dylan/coffee table reference. And just for the record, I didnt care for Sugarland UNTIL I heard this song. Are you a member of the Exit 0 digest? Its a Yahoo group. You should check it out.

I meant no harm by my comment. I'm a christian girl, and I was raised on respect. I know how Steve is. I've met the man. I've talked to him, and I know his personality. Don't question what kind of a fan I am to Steve. I know him better than you can dream. As for your statement.. "I've met Bob Dylans body guards and if Steve thinks he can stand on Bob Dylans coffee table hes's sadly mistaken."- Townes reply. (and in case you were wondering this whole thing could be becuase I don't like sugarland)
@RelentlessAngel13 Well, just because you don't like the band doesn't mean you should get so defensive about the lyrics. And just because you've met and spoken to Steve Earle, that doesn't mean you "know" him. Geez.....sounds like you have a serious need to impress people. On the computer. That is sad.

I love that song but you messed up alot, meaning you spelled wrong in almost every verse, i think you should do it over, because it is just not working out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but i just want your sleeve and a shirt that goes with is cause it smells like you and you know i like to sleep in that and a vacation house on the beach, and a real litle wedding, only about 300 people. did i mention i have kids? youre gonna love em. theyre gonna need to go to college. on tuedsday nights i like to go to trivia so that will be your night to hang out with the boys and then youu can.. it this thang on?

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No one used any FOUL language here (ass)...FOUL as in POULTRY-like. CHICKEN droppings-esq or squalking CROW like comments. It sounds as though some little ol' HEN has them feathers ruffled there, TURKEY!...go GOOSE yourself! Oh yea believe me I wouldn't listen to the Sugarbland group..Steves name came up and I checked it out! Now, gone to cyberspace in search of substance/truth/and oh gosh...FFFFFF--FUN!
ok everyone just needs to settle down! it is just a song...i dont think they r making fun of steve...he should be happy they wrote a song on hishonor! everyone is blowing this way out of proportion! IT IS JUST A FUN SONG! its catchy and fun and its just a song dear god just settle down!
I've changed my mind....Sugarland is the greatest group of all time! Beatles?...Elvis? Garth?...you name it ....Sugarland is duh bomb! THE END!!!!Steve Earle is just a silly simple ol junkie bottom-feeder with a bad attitude...dude lighten up ...you just talk about such...I don't know..I just want beautiful/sexy people singin' and dancin' and makin' me feel uuh? like part of somethinguuh! cool and uuh heymore uuhringtone-friendly,maybe my friends will think I'm special last wordZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
you put Garth with elvis and the beatles?? dude he embodies the worst of any music from any period of time...and i thought you were a sanctimonious music geek livin in your moms basement..and ill pass on your thoughts to jennifer nettles about her looking to attractive/sexy and thus negating any artistic merit she might possess. maybe if she looked and acted more like lucinda williams, and released her album on vinyl, you could bring her up to your friends while you read Pitchfork
uhh...Garth reference was a cynical inference...geek? if you only knew!.. Lucinda is an artist (not to be confused with a mere entertainer) and you are more invested in the "match the book/magazine" (No Depression/Pitchfork/Elements of Style)... to the personality, Dr. Phil?!? Book I'm reading now:The Philosophy of Music (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Steve's wife Allison Moorer's sister Shelby Lynn! To compare the hereditary lineage of Allison & the female vocalist from Sugarland is tantamount to a comparison of Gumby to Ghandi. Again gray haired herion addict? You are out of you league here,nice try! Steve as is the case of many who come from a place in life that transends you, the common man is all but purtificated aquesentant of a mortal/social pedigree radiates from a sonic frantazoroy souliqueioul/izixiquious of frantoulwquxzfurthurmore
@opin99 Well, look at all those big ole words! You MUST be right, because your words have more letter in 'em than most folks's do! *rolling my eyes* I've got a 12-letter word for ya....ASSHOLICIOUS! :P pththththththt!
the song is good, but i dont believe songs should be written about other artists, especially great ones. unless its a tribute to someone great who has died. i watched this to look at the lyrics, because i was curious as to what it had to say.
and personally sugarland shouldnt even be a country band. it should be considered some other kind of music, since all these new country singers are killing the original music. sugarland is a pretty good band. just not the right kind of music for them.
Brother you must be grading on a curve as they say...Sugar land a pretty good band???compared to what? To quote Steve Lukather, "I could play that good when I was 12 ys.old"... come on! Have we forgotten what it takes to be ahead of the rest of the amateurs...jezzz. Has American Idol...Karaoke...Reality TV ....made everyone think they can acually sing/write/play instruments?????BS ...I'll be the guy out back with the gun in his mouth!!!!
i never said anything about them being that good. what i meant was they are good in a song writing sense, most of the time. personally i think reality tv and those kind of things are ruining music all together.
Below (my last comment)is somewhat sarcastic: Late Latin sarcasmos, from Greek sarkasmos, from sarkazein to tear flesh, bite the lips in rage, sneer, from sark-, sarx flesh; probably akin to Avestan thwar&s- to cut
Steve Earle:songs from the artist with no ideology or substance, no depth or convictions just good ol' all American drivel! Man where can I get more of that kind of VOID! Let's see..."it's got a good beat and you can dance to it"...Lesson #1 truly gifted artist/poets/musicians are the shamans of our time. The truly insightful, introspective, provocative, revealing, unafraid..luminaries! All we have left to cast light on the dark, question the powerful, stripped of motive.But-Vanilla is still #1
slow it down you pretentious steve earle fans..ive been a fan of his since '86 and this song was meant to be a joke(kinda like Steve's "just an american boy"....i hope that was a joke..) the girl is talented and has a sense of humor so put your Obama bumper sticker on,go get some back issues of No Depression and drop it youre cool you go to ACL, choose organic coffee over Starbucks let it go..btw, her voice from central casting?check out how steve says "blue"refer to umm..its in ANY OF HIS SONGS
Man you're good... a linguist huh? Accent: rhythmically significant stress on the syllables of a verse usually at REGULAR intervals... A social commentator too? (not to mention an aficionado of fine coffee) a well informed, well rounded student of artist both common and subcult. A nice sense of the humorist as well...hahahaha But how did you know I was an Obama supporter? Gee everything is going so well here in paradise...Yes Sir, may I have another! Yes sir..may I have another...yes sir....may
oh you have a worn out copy of "The Elements of Style", you ARE clever, and you almost don't appear to be smarmy and proud of yourself.....ALMOST...so its no "Devils Right Hand" but its a pretty good song, right?
Ok, Sugarland has a media image consultant running interference here! You obviously are not a teen fan...no fair!How about I "see you" and your reference to an old writing, "Elements" both clever and smarmy (btw/poor word usage) and "raise you" with..." your mother wears army boots" and "Just an Amercan boy" was not a joke...finally everytime I've seen Steve in concert, you're that guy that talks and explains the songs the whole time...right?
no SL (and by Sugarland, i mean jennifer nettles) is talented,sexy,great voice on the ballads, and writes pretty well which is rare in the Hallmark card paint-by-numbers town that Nashville has become, and no, i dont talk during shows, and i wish Steve wouldnt either. I love the songs and the 3 post prison releases in the 90's were astounding, but i can do without his marxist rants...alas,trust the art, not the artist.
Sexy...you mean she is a she? I'm trying to figure this out. You BUY CD's/music etc. based on the singer being sexy??? Right? Are you out of puberty? Do you listen to music with your eyes? OK, I thought so! My man you...need to professional help. I like a beautiful image as much as the next person..but that is not what I listen to over and over.Can one be any more simple minded?Go buy a Playboy or something and we'll get back to talking music afterward!
so you took sexy out of that and thats it? also mentioned was the fact that shes got a good voice, writes all of her songs some of which are pretty good and can sing better than Steve earles wife..dont get me wrong: shes not in Steves class, but shes not trying to be..and if i listened w my eyes i wouldnt listen to a grey bearded chubby guy with heroin addict pattern baldness...so stop your letter to the Make-A-Wish people, Sugarland and Steve can coexist on the radio dial
Duhh seriously folks...Allison Moorer (Steve's wife) is drop dead redhead gorgious and she... can....uh---SING!!! You honey...just for the record...squalk the talk! And I'm S-U-G-A-R-coating it!!

we can only pray to god that Steve won't hear this girl
sounds like some sumpn' smelly and wet ,that dropped out the backa my mule...
sugar-land sugar-land ...your music's such cruel gruel!!
to even mention his name in the same state their in....jezzzzzzzz could you get that accent of hers anywhere short of central casting? what a sick hick chic
what is ur problem with sugarland? if u dont like them dont listen to their songs...ok u dont have to like them but dont leave rude ass things on my videos! i dont want to come on and read tht and i think all other ppl who like sugarland will agree.
this is sooo awesome .. i love her new CD !!!! aww im gonna get it i think ... sooo yeah anyone who doesnt like it ... is just jealous of how freat she sings
have you tried hearing this at half the speed? she sounds so drunk, and the last bit sounds so funny! xD

No one used any FOUL language here (ass)...FOUL as in POULTRY-like. CHICKEN droppings-esq or squalking CROW like comments. It sounds as though some little ol' HEN has them feathers ruffled there, TURKEY!...go GOOSE yourself! Oh yea believe me I wouldn't listen to the Sugarbland group..Steves name came up and I checked it out! Now, gone to cyberspace in search of substance/truth/and oh gosh...FFFFFF--FUN!

I love the part where the music pauses and she's saying all the stuff she wants from him. It's hilarious!

I've changed my mind....Sugarland is the greatest group of all time! Beatles?...Elvis? Garth?...you name it ....Sugarland is duh bomb! THE END!!!!Steve Earle is just a silly simple ol junkie bottom-feeder with a bad attitude...dude lighten up ...you just talk about such...I don't know..I just want beautiful/sexy people singin' and dancin' and makin' me feel uuh? like part of somethinguuh! cool and uuh heymore uuhringtone-friendly,maybe my friends will think I'm special last wordZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
opin99 3 years ago
you put Garth with elvis and the beatles?? dude he embodies the worst of any music from any period of time...and i thought you were a sanctimonious music geek livin in your moms basement..and ill pass on your thoughts to jennifer nettles about her looking to attractive/sexy and thus negating any artistic merit she might possess. maybe if she looked and acted more like lucinda williams, and released her album on vinyl, you could bring her up to your friends while you read Pitchfork
tullamore625 3 years ago
uhh...Garth reference was a cynical inference...geek? if you only knew!.. Lucinda is an artist (not to be confused with a mere entertainer) and you are more invested in the "match the book/magazine" (No Depression/Pitchfork/Elements of Style)... to the personality, Dr. Phil?!? Book I'm reading now:The Philosophy of Music (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

wow...how impressed with yourself you must be..does the book mention "pretentious" you stylistically effete little prick???
tullamore625 3 years ago
Steve's wife Allison Moorer's sister Shelby Lynn! To compare the hereditary lineage of Allison & the female vocalist from Sugarland is tantamount to a comparison of Gumby to Ghandi. Again gray haired herion addict? You are out of you league here,nice try! Steve as is the case of many who come from a place in life that transends you, the common man is all but purtificated aquesentant of a mortal/social pedigree radiates from a sonic frantazoroy souliqueioul/izixiquious of frantoulwquxzfurthurmore

@opin99 Well, look at all those big ole words! You MUST be right, because your words have more letter in 'em than most folks's do! *rolling my eyes* I've got a 12-letter word for ya....ASSHOLICIOUS! :P pththththththt!

the song is good, but i dont believe songs should be written about other artists, especially great ones. unless its a tribute to someone great who has died. i watched this to look at the lyrics, because i was curious as to what it had to say.
and personally sugarland shouldnt even be a country band. it should be considered some other kind of music, since all these new country singers are killing the original music. sugarland is a pretty good band. just not the right kind of music for them.

Brother you must be grading on a curve as they say...Sugar land a pretty good band???compared to what? To quote Steve Lukather, "I could play that good when I was 12 ys.old"... come on! Have we forgotten what it takes to be ahead of the rest of the amateurs...jezzz. Has American Idol...Karaoke...Reality TV ....made everyone think they can acually sing/write/play instruments?????BS ...I'll be the guy out back with the gun in his mouth!!!!
opin99 3 years ago
i never said anything about them being that good. what i meant was they are good in a song writing sense, most of the time. personally i think reality tv and those kind of things are ruining music all together.

Below (my last comment)is somewhat sarcastic: Late Latin sarcasmos, from Greek sarkasmos, from sarkazein to tear flesh, bite the lips in rage, sneer, from sark-, sarx flesh; probably akin to Avestan thwar&s- to cut

Steve Earle:songs from the artist with no ideology or substance, no depth or convictions just good ol' all American drivel! Man where can I get more of that kind of VOID! Let's see..."it's got a good beat and you can dance to it"...Lesson #1 truly gifted artist/poets/musicians are the shamans of our time. The truly insightful, introspective, provocative, revealing, unafraid..luminaries! All we have left to cast light on the dark, question the powerful, stripped of motive.But-Vanilla is still #1

slow it down you pretentious steve earle fans..ive been a fan of his since '86 and this song was meant to be a joke(kinda like Steve's "just an american boy"....i hope that was a joke..) the girl is talented and has a sense of humor so put your Obama bumper sticker on,go get some back issues of No Depression and drop it youre cool you go to ACL, choose organic coffee over Starbucks let it go..btw, her voice from central casting?check out how steve says "blue"refer to umm..its in ANY OF HIS SONGS

Man you're good... a linguist huh? Accent: rhythmically significant stress on the syllables of a verse usually at REGULAR intervals... A social commentator too? (not to mention an aficionado of fine coffee) a well informed, well rounded student of artist both common and subcult. A nice sense of the humorist as well...hahahaha But how did you know I was an Obama supporter? Gee everything is going so well here in paradise...Yes Sir, may I have another! Yes sir..may I have another...yes sir....may

oh you have a worn out copy of "The Elements of Style", you ARE clever, and you almost don't appear to be smarmy and proud of yourself.....ALMOST...so its no "Devils Right Hand" but its a pretty good song, right?
tullamore625 3 years ago
Ok, Sugarland has a media image consultant running interference here! You obviously are not a teen fan...no fair!How about I "see you" and your reference to an old writing, "Elements" both clever and smarmy (btw/poor word usage) and "raise you" with..." your mother wears army boots" and "Just an Amercan boy" was not a joke...finally everytime I've seen Steve in concert, you're that guy that talks and explains the songs the whole time...right?
opin99 3 years ago
no SL (and by Sugarland, i mean jennifer nettles) is talented,sexy,great voice on the ballads, and writes pretty well which is rare in the Hallmark card paint-by-numbers town that Nashville has become, and no, i dont talk during shows, and i wish Steve wouldnt either. I love the songs and the 3 post prison releases in the 90's were astounding, but i can do without his marxist rants...alas,trust the art, not the artist.
tullamore625 3 years ago
Sexy...you mean she is a she? I'm trying to figure this out. You BUY CD's/music etc. based on the singer being sexy??? Right? Are you out of puberty? Do you listen to music with your eyes? OK, I thought so! My man you...need to professional help. I like a beautiful image as much as the next person..but that is not what I listen to over and over.Can one be any more simple minded?Go buy a Playboy or something and we'll get back to talking music afterward!
opin99 3 years ago
so you took sexy out of that and thats it? also mentioned was the fact that shes got a good voice, writes all of her songs some of which are pretty good and can sing better than Steve earles wife..dont get me wrong: shes not in Steves class, but shes not trying to be..and if i listened w my eyes i wouldnt listen to a grey bearded chubby guy with heroin addict pattern baldness...so stop your letter to the Make-A-Wish people, Sugarland and Steve can coexist on the radio dial
tullamore625 3 years ago
i totally agree....its a joke! ppl dont need to freak out about it! steve should be proud he got a song written about him! so everyone just settle
sugarland377 3 years ago
Duhh seriously folks...Allison Moorer (Steve's wife) is drop dead redhead gorgious and she... can....uh---SING!!! You honey...just for the record...squalk the talk! And I'm S-U-G-A-R-coating it!!
