John Prine covering - Clay Pigeons

[celestialmegan]

anyone whose ever rode on a Greyhound bus in an odd state of desperation understands the 2nd line of this song.

"COUNT THE DAYS AND THE NIGHTS THAT IT TAKES TO GET BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN," - Oh I am, John, I am....

[marshaweldon]

I have a copy of this video.... I'll post it one day. Remind me. Marsha Weldon on face book.

[42awww]

I would not be exxagerating by saying this album, particularily this song, got me thru the scariest, loneliest 18 months of my life. Thank you John, thank you.

[gramach]

Ah good old duct tape

[8sAces]

[outcowboy]

[bubbah671]

my castles flooded with hope

[AsterionellaK]

This song is so beautiful.  Thanks for posting.

John Prine is like a vintage wine-he gets better with age. Sure, his voice may not be what it once was, but nobody puts their heart and soul into a song better than JP. A JP tune is a work of art. Even though this is not one of JP's songs, he does it better than anyone. He is my all time favorite-nobody is even a close second.

[TheFuzzieWuzzie]

@fredb740 Amen, brother.

[mrd2u2u2sucks]

Where did the Vid go??!!??

[boxcanyon100]

makes overcast sound like shangrila. thanks for posting.

[doggskull]

I'd love to see the version of this song when Prine did it live at Austin City Limits. It used to be on here and was one of my favorites.

[rosa4kiddos]

the song was written by blaze foley - maybe that will help

[MrEclecticity]

@rosa4kiddos Interesting. Most lyric sites attribute it to John Prine.

[lonz46]

whipped this cd out this am after dropping off my oldest son back at college. a great way to kill 3 hrs on a lonesome sunday morn drive!

[xxxMrSuspendedxxx]

I dig this so much I did it and put it in my feature player, lol.

When mofos say I'm a screwin' up I flip'em off and say, "Hell, I've lived almost 12 years longer than Blaze Foley."

[BRAZOZ]

I just Posted The Austin Version A few days ago  Enjoy

[WinnersCircleMan]

pure n simple...he is Americas Poet

[shaptula4]

tnx - john

[vanstheman98]

The version you seek is on myspace, I found it by googling John Prine Clay pigeons

[californiaclaybo]

If at all possible, could you upload long Monday from the same album?? it deserves a spot on youtube for sure!! Thanks

[hornbuckle56]

A very sobering song.

[RossM3838]

John Prine singing a Blaze Foley song! What a tribute to this almost unknown but great performer.

[19jr82sr]

@RossM3838 agreed

[bluesycamore]

hauntingly beautiful.

[arthurdonachy]

sadder than sad

[mrd2u2u2sucks]

Yeah, I was looking for that video too!

Good production / video / sound...

JP doesn't cover too many songs but when he picks one he knows how to pick 'em. What a great song!

Please repost the video if possible. Made me a Blaze Foley fan!

[dragonflychainsaw]

you just know when something is perfect there is just no doubt and this is perfection how can you hear this and not want to buy a ticket find that lady and kids and just sit down and talk?

[dispatchmonkey]

there used to be a live version of John doing this song. Looked like the Austin City Limits stage. Beautiful. Anybody know where it is. I can't find it on Youtube anymore.

[Inthorns]

That's actually the one I wanted for the vid. Truth is, I wouldn't have made the video if I could've just pulled that one up for a listen.

Worked out well though. Now we have, at least, one to share.

[Bryan1963]

Pulled for copyright violation,what a beautiful rendition it was!

[mancrushonhanksnow]

"Build a castle with memories just to have somewhere to go." Shit that hits me where it hurts. Makes me think of all the good old memories I like to visit. That's life

[MartinThomas59]

@mancrushonhanksnow I believe this is a Blaze Foley song. John Prine covering some one else's song. how's that for an accomplishment.

[MartinThomas59]

@mancrushonhanksnow I believe this song was written by Blaze Foley

[figothecat]

When i've had a rough week, a rough month or what-have-you, i listen to this song about 3 or 4 times in a row and just let the tears go... beautiful song... power to save lives.

[edslides1]

@figothecat

does warm your heart, dont it?

sometimes when i listen to this song, i feel like there is a me i dont even know.

someone said, "all the times i thought i was havin a good time, i wish i coulda just bought blaze a bottle and a nice dinner"

that comment was as eloquent as this song.

[crazyleg2006]

Simply one of the best and emotional songs I have ever heard.

A good friend introduced me to it.

This song means more to John than you can ever imagine.

Do you feel it?

[countrynuno]

amazing, great Blaze song, awesome version

[Bmayo27]

This great song should have more views and ratings! It's simply perfect! Thank you for posting!

[igneouspock]

this song just seems to hit ya deep...just so relate able in a completely authentic way

[frenchmansgirl]

this entire album is great "fair and square"

[waiting4theRapture]

The man has paid his dues over the years of broken hearts, drugs, alcohol and all the hard knocks that life can throw at a man. This is where the feelings and emotions come from that make him the great songwriter that he is. God bless you John.

[retabshit]

Does this make anyone want to get a Grayhound bus ticket,,,,and just ride.....or just me??? Hmmm?

[breal1977]

Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. The man is an american treasure

[12symon]

[DannyKrow]
