@Morrison64 making more money than you.married a movie star,has appeared in movies,toured the world over...hmm.I wonder what you have done in all that time? Commenting on a guy's looks to boot? hmmm..You must be gay..
Lyle is always so tasteful with his arrangements, whether it's a solo piece like this tune or his large band. His phrasing, tone and delivery are uniquely his and his songwriting and storytelling are first rate. I've yet to hear him live and hope I get the chance.
Lyle is such a phenominal artist & writer, this song for example. I have been a fan for about 10 yrs, and still discover work 's this man has done that totally kills you, (in a good way). What prompted me to get on here and coment, was that I noticed while listening to this piece of excellence, that it has only been viewed 3,539 times??? This is an abomination.
@clintonious You can say that again! I have such respect for the man, the artist, the legend! I have had the honor of seeing him live twice in Minneapolis. Sitting no more then 8 rows away, i was taken for the ride of my life! He has such grace and the way he brings everyone into the mix is flawless... You feel like you are supposed to be there. I have never had that feeling from watching ANY other artist live, and in my 46, i have seen more then my share. God Bless!!!
@bambam691964 lol I hear ya. I've seen him twice as well at a casino near my home. The first time I saw him I was so taken by the whole show I started feeling weird, like I was gonna cry or something. lol I been around the block myself, I've even played on the grand ole opry with ricky skaggs as you can see if you watch the video on my youtube channel. I've share the stage with many greats but no ones performance has ever brought me as much joy as I've recieved watching his show...imma dork lol
@clintonious I just start discovering Lyle Lovett and this phrase of you: "I was so taken by the whole show I started feeling weird, like I was gonna cry or something."
is very recognisable to me.
Kinda weird..but Lyle lovett is like a band aid to a bleedin' soul
@bambam691964 I'll echo y'alls remarks about Lyle. Always enjoy listening to his work. Another artist who has a "homey" sort of delivery, but quite different style, is Leo Kottke. See him play, too, if you ever have a chance.
@AmazingAlixAvien......Well......ya see....BEFORE he had his "large band"......he only had large hair to rely on!
OUTSTANDING ARTIST......In my view the message is "all is not what it seems"...."the grass is always greener"....not everyone who appears successful is happy"....and happiness is the true & lasting success....SO...."careful what you wish for"
This song tells a wonderfully simple story. The simplicity of the lyrics make it a great and powerful song backed by an amazing sounds and a fantastic voice. Overall, I think this is one of the best songs I've ever heard! My favorite from Mr. Lovett!
i want those hairs! ;)

He's leaving out the word for backside and letting the listener fill in the blank.
"See that boy with that guitar, he's got a little round (bottom) like I always wanted. ...
Sister look at me again. You'd love me if that were my rear end."

I agree, this is real music and it doesn't seem like anyone even knows about it.
