This song was found at Capitol Records , on a reel of tape and a note that he hated singing and he wanted to go home.... I think the pressure got to him.... all the hit songs he wrote and sang.... his personal problems.... I feel he is one of the BEST songwriters ever in American POP !
One of Mr.South's premier works here, tucked away on the B side of "Games People Play". I'm on my second copy of this gem, having played the first copy into scratch-and-skipdom. Love that Coral electric sitar with the wah-wah; and the breakdown at 3:20 is straight out of left field - makes no sense but makes perfect sense. One of the best B sides ever!
Joe South wrote this great hit - as well as "The Games People Play" - "Hush" - "Down in the Boondocks" - "Don't it Make You Wana Go Home" - "Walk a Mile in My Shoes"...
Today (February 28th) is Joe South's birthday! Leave Joe a note on joesouth(dot)com
Thank you for posting This!!!!!!!! I've been looking for this song!!! I have it in a very old cassette, and i've been looking for a better sound!!! Thank you.
I can't tell yo how long i have listened to Joe South and thought his music spoke to an entire generation...and now if only more would hear his message....and believe it is possible to live together without craving

I grew up listening to Joe South. This is my fav song. He used to be in the mental Institution that my ma worked Highland Hospital in the 70's

I think that his brother committed suicide, and it really threw Joe for a loop.
