Great song, very true i used to live in a small town now its getting big and too many people. Weve lost the respect and decency people used to have here.
I would like to thank you for sharing it here. As a singer, both John Prine and Johnny Cash have earned my admiration and respect for writing songs that touch, move, and inspire me.
To those who are not familiar with John Prine, I urge you to listen to his recordings of his own songs, and read the lyrics. Many of John Prines songs have been covered and hit the charts after being recorded by artists like Bonnie Rait, Johnny Cash, etc.
"Paradise" written by John Prine, covered by Johnny Cash, was used in the sound track of a movie starring Johhny Cash as a widower, parent, illiterate, farmer who had to move to the city with his children after losing his wife and farm, he learns to read from one of his childrens teachers, who falls in love with him. I can remember all of that, but I cannot remember the title of the movie.
I love JC, and his cover of this song is very good, but this is not a JC song. It is a John Prine song, and you are correct about a very important subject as well!!!! just wanting to make sure you knew the original artist :) if you havent heard any JP check it out, think you will like if you like JC :)
