@Johnfern99 I posted this on my FB page hoping a special someone would listen to it. It is a beautiful song :)

[Johnfern99]

@shaneenkeeney Thanks very much! I appreciate that!

[coolanddark]

This is one of my favorite songs by you John! Love this song so much! Should be on the radio! Way better than anything on the country charts today! I see you play it in the D chord postiton here! You played it in the C position on the live version! I do that to. Mix it up.

[Johnfern99]

@coolanddark Thanks Dan, yea this one was a bit differnt than my latest version. I never even realized it until I checked back with this one. It's weird how a song can morphe into something differnt over the years. Glad you enjoyed both versions and I hope things are well with you. Have a great week!

[gleeblock]

Johnfern99, I really like your song. I can so relate to the comments you wrote on the top right hand corner.....Thanks for the sub/and fav of some of my songs. SUB for later viewing a lot more of your stuff. GREAT!! t:)

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that a lot and I'm looking forward to more of your songs and videos!

[tomvband]

My favorite bar is now a shopping mall......perfect. That will happen,......Great job man.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Tom! Appreciate that!

[JLSTaylor]

Came back to listen to your "song of parts" again. You know, this really works, JF ... it is a great story tale song. Keep up your great writing, John.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Marina! I tried to sing it at the farmer's market, but stumbled on the words. I thought I had it memorized at home, but got a little rattled when I tried it Saturday.

[mmcs122]

Excellent song, John.  Your lyrics are pure inspiration. : )

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much, Molly! Good to hear from ya, and I hope things are well!

[Cliffbrock]

Awesome John ! I really like this song. 5 stars with the entire song. --:)Rod

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Rod! I was very pleased with this one, and even more pleased when I hear comments like yours! Thanks again!

[derekeverett]

Your right man I really like this song - even had to play it twice in a row! Loved the part about the roadhouse lol. Makes me realize I need to get out and throw some bottles around ??

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Derek! Appreciate that! Actually the ones that tried to duck under the tables were the ones that got hit. If ya stay perfectly still, you're fine everytime.

[JLSTaylor]

Well, this is certainly a great "compilation" of all the parts, JF. Geez, I can barely remember my own name when I wake in the morn, lol. :-) Marina

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Marina, I had two or three other verses but it would have made it too long.

[busywave]

Back for another listen. Great song!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much, Mark! Glad you're not gettin' sick of it!

[2ruby202]

I always think I'll remember things but never do in the morning. I wish I could write songs like this in my sleep!! I'd spend a lot more time in bed! Love the way you sang it.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! I've written some notes that don't make any sense at all. Some that seemed really good at the time, but when I look at them later, I can tell it's really bad!

[rudyvandam]

To be honest John, don't know if I reacted

on this one before!

DO know I listened to it before,

don't know if I gave stars though

but I will now (AGAIN (??!!)

5 of course

IF... I'd have to make up a list of favorite singer songwriters on this here YouTube.......

Cheers,

Rudy

[Johnfern99]

Thanks again, Rudy! I'll take all the stars I can get! Appreciate the kind words and cheers to you also!

[TomSmithMusic]

Kind of a little movie in a 3.5 minute song. Good story telling.... some nice images. Bravo.

[nllleonard]

Came back to listen again....love the song...and was reading your description. I do that too! Or worse...think I'll remember my ideas in the morning, and totally forget everything! I'm getting better about keeping a tablet and pencil by the bed, but the cats keep taking my pencils away! ;) ANyway, great song! ~NAncy

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Nancy! Appreciate ya comin' back and I guess you'll have to chain those pencils down like the pens at the bank.

You'll have to find out where the cats are stockpiling all those pencils.

[TanteA]

Hi John, I couldn´t understand everything of the lyrics, but nevertheless I enjoyed listening.

[jimmymac30]

Great lyrics and story song here John. Five stars my friend.

[TERUKO5]

I like this song! Five stars and adding to my favourites. (And it is hard to decipher those midnight scribblings sometimes, isn't it?)

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Teruko! And you're sure right about that! It's hard to read my writing when I'm NOT groggy, so it's really bad when I am.

[nondepouk]

a great song and very nice interpretation;

Jean

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much, Jean!

[sinawava42]

Great song John. The lyrics are so real.

Really good guitarplaying and your voice sounds great. Beautiful song.

Hebbe

[Johnfern99]

Thank you Adam! I appreciate that and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[BigPrairieDude]

Nice song. Watch out for Bar "cowboys". Especially when they do not have a horse. It does not take much to get them fighting.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks much! As long as no guns are involved. I can dodge a bottle but not a bullet.

[faffytunes]

Again great words and nice melody

[Johnfern99]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate that!

[WizKil]

Another fine job John. 5*

[Johnfern99]

Very cool John !! inspiration seems to hit late at night often huh ?...excellent original...dig the multiple camera angles too...I like the cat lyrics( he only lifts his head when you picked up yer guitar)..anyway...cool to see a new one John...Cheers bro*****

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Eddie! Glad ya liked it! I added the cat verse later and went back and forth with deciding to use it or not, but it seemed to work so I kept it. Cheers to you also, brother!

[oldnrone]

Great song John, they always are!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that, sir!

[joshporter08]

Wonderful writing!!! You have special vision and a unique "voice" , John! I love this! ~NAncy

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Nancy! I sure do appreciate that and your wonderful comment! Whatever I have wouldn't mean much if I couldn't share it with folks like you who enjoy it!

[suuzzee5]

This is one of your most beautiful songs, John. You have an amazing gift for both songwriting and performing... *****

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Suzzee! That's really nice of you to say! I write it down and sing it and record it, and think I like it, but not sure if that's just my opinion. When I read wonderful comments like yours, I'm glad I threw it out there. Thank you very much!

[dinnycash]

its so good to hear your voice man

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Dinny! I appreciate that!

[serenataorg]

Awesome John, you crafted an excellent story here, and an excellent song as well!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! I often wonder if the ones that come easy and fall together with such little effort are going to have a better story telling quality than the ones that I put more work into. Glad ya liked it!

[coolanddark]

Well John this has to be among my very favs of yours. And believe me thats saying something. If I was a talent scout from nashville Id sign you up out of the thousands with guitars and suitcases full of songs. BRILLIANCE!!!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Dan! Coming from someone with your brilliant songwriting ability, I take that as pretty high praise! The feeling is mutual and I love your new songs!

[mnnorthcountrygirl1]

I really, really like this one John!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! That makes me glad and I appreciate your comment!

[rhopen]

Another great one John. Are you using two cameras? Just curious. -Ron

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Ron! Yea, the dv input broke on my original camera, so I sent it in to have it fixed since I had an extended warranty. They said it wasn't worth fixing so they gave me a new one. Since the old one still records fine, (just can't transfer to the computer) I can still use it, so I can do two differnt angles now if I want.

[canajian]

Great tune John!

*****

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Gerry!

[0258jtj7]

Pictures! Your songs always draw such vivid pictures! I just really enjoy your songwriting ability, John!!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that kind words!

[bluebus420]

excellent song im glad you got up to write it down!!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! Ya gotta save 'em while ya can or they dissapear forever.

[boogertoots]

I especaily like the part where you speak of Nashville; a 1000 guys with songs like me. Boy, never been there, but sure can relate in some way or the other!!

Great song John! 5 *'s!!

♫ Derek J. Holak ♫

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Derek! Never been there myself, but hope to one day just for fun.

[DAVIDDAMIENR]
