I've loved this song since the day I first heard it, well actually the whole album. It just does something to me everytime I hear it, seriously. I, through no fault of my own, just simply have to get out of my seat and do something. Sometimes it's a jig, sometimes air guitar, other times it's like getting the holy ghost. If you've never heard this song on a really good stereo system, I'd highly recommend it. When the instrumental part comes in it will simply take you over.
I am personally going to find out where the person who disliked this amazing song lives and write an angry letter displaying my anger. And then slaughter his/her family. Tehe
I grew up being able to see the Nazareth Speedway from my parents back porch and I never heard of this song. It really brings up some good memories of my Dad and I. It also makes me sad they shut down the track.
I remember when I was a kid about 12, I used to listen Sailing to Philadelphia album when I was traveling from Croatia to Austria, Italy, Germany, France or Macedonia, or when I was going somewhere with the school. This song was one of my favorite and Mark Knopfler made my childhood be happy. I love you Mark Knopfler, world will remember you!
its hard and sad to think that we as a whole USED to call this music. now our music takes almost no talent and you get a spot with a record company depending on who you know and how well you suck dick...long live the good old days, when ppl didnt dance around the stage BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO BUSY PLAYING THE MUSIC ON REAL INSTRUMENTS!!!
There is no best part in here: it's the story of a man stolen ,robbed ,abused, driven in the dirt and fuckep up...who built himself up again and got strong but harder, more not-open anymore : and that is what they made you.HARDFACE!
This song is EPIC....
I dont think people who dislike this video have any taste in music

I tend to relate this song to CART 93, most of it fits the way the year went, just changed the year. Either way, amazing song.

you can't categorize him!

you can't fence him in!
Might as well just kick back and enjoy him.
