Argh! I love this... song i guess, but i hate listening to it around other people cuz it makes me want to cry hearing the part about him swerving to miss the kids!!!
Funny to think that not so long ago, a man weighing 210 lbs. would get a nickname like "Big Joe" (I'm assuming he was tall, too). Now there are middle school kids who weigh that much, and an adult male weighing that doesn't get a second glance in the US. Sad state of affairs! Love this song, had only heard Sovine's version til now. I think Red and Ferlin were reading from each other's playbooks, their styles overlap quite a bit.
