Takes me back to cutting the grass when I was a teenager listing to this tape in my walkman. Now tonight i just smile as I drift back in time thinking about all the life I have lived between that time and now.
@weslyjames Wesly, I remember the same thing. We may be around the same age with some of the same experiences. The exact same thing that this song speaks about happened to me. Although not in Tennessee.
I can remember like it was yesterday, carrying this cassette into my best friends house (Where my new bride and I went for dinner) and saying..."Hey man, have you heard John's new record"...that's what we called him..."John". Well, he IS from Florida! And so are we! We sat in my friends house and listened to this as intently as we ever listened to any album we ever listened to (Yes, including Hank Jr)
"I got that letter you wrote...it tore me up! But, I don't have anyone to blame but me!
from a songwriters point of view, its the greatest. I love the double meanings. Down in Tenn, as in down in the dumps, and down as in south of her in New York. In the state that I deserve to be, state of mind, and state of Tenn. Other doubles, listen for them, enjoy,
I will be down in Georgia. When will I ever be happy?
