  • All these years the people said

    He’s actin’ like a kid

    He did not know he could not fly

    So he did

  • I love that man! His music is powerful and so pure!

  • Townes, Earle, Guy, Crowell, so much talent in that group Texas is the shit.

  • I don't care Guy forget the first verse. Great song, great singer.

  • Are these people idiots or what?

    Shut the fruck up!

  • Wow. this man is one of the greatest writers i have ever heard. No doubt about it

  • RIP Matho

  • I CAN RELATE TO THIS SONG I ALWAYS THOUGHT I COULD FLY I WAS ALWAYS JUMPING OFF SOMETHING THEN ONE DAY I JUMPED FROM THE TOP OF THE STEPS AND THAT S WHEN I FOUND OUT I COULDNT FLY I ALMOST BROKE MY NECK

  • i love you guy even when you forget your words

  • The flaw in the 1st verse just adds to the perfection - the way he picks it up, using his lyrics, "whole thing came unwound" as a humorous refrain is wonderful.

    What a writer, player, performer and what an amazing song!!!!

  • Awesome!

  • This is probably my all-time favorite Guy Clark song.

  • One of the best songs ever written. Earle and Townes and this man, quite a trio of friends.

  • @Yowzarrific - Yeah, the three of them "Live at the Bluebird" is one of the finest albums anyone can ever own!!!

  • @nevillejking I will second that!

  • I first saw Guy at Sand Mountain in Houston in 1966. I can't believe we have gotten so old. But I can believe he has gotten so good. He always was a cut above. His wife Suzanne was in a singing group with my friend Harriet.

  • I saw Guy about 5 years ago. I realized I was watching a legend. So many great songs and he's just a regular guy (pardon the expression).

  • "He did not know he could not fly... and so he did." damn, I wish I could write like that!

  • Bloody Brilliant

  • oh for more song writers like this.

  • savage

  • He may have screwed up the first verse, but he has not liked noisy crowds for years. I LOVE this man.

  • still jumping off the garage and will be till he's dead

  • Great playing. So what if he forgets a bit....he wrote the damn thing. He can do what he likes with it!
