Great great great song. This album was excellent from start to finish. Mellencamp is still vastly underrated as a songwriter. He is right up there with Dylan IMO
I always dug this song. But now that I paid some attention to the lyrics, its a brilliant gem. Paints a picture like a scene from a movie. Brings tears. Most people wouldnt know from the title.
i had the drummer kenny aronoff sign my copy of lonesome jubilee he is a awesome guy to meet in person. i would love to meet mellencamp in person that would be sweet. i meant people that know him or went to school with him i meant his band members but not john mellencamp yet, hopefully someday
This song reminds me about driving back in my Los Angeles hometown playing this in the cassette tape deck on my way to Venice Beach,man I remember those days that is truly when time stood still..........Thanks for the post!!

Check It Out was my favourite from this wonderful album for many years, but my grandma was part Indigenous and it's hard not to relate to this. Many thanks for posting, hope it gets more views !!
@lamarridley2 Hey I have been searching for the song on this album called EMPTY HANDS and would love and appreciate it so much if you or anyone else would kindly put that song on YOUTUBE!! THANK YOU!!
すごく好きです。古き良きロック!

The freedom of choice and everything, brought back to " hamburgers or hotdogs". Live is truly what WE make of it.

Cherry Bomb is also really good, especially as I get closer to 35 lol .. but the lyrics to this are extremely powerful and well thought of.
