it's interesting to me,, when this came out in 72,, I was 16 yoa,, now I"m 55,, completely different perspective,, at any rate,, this is one of the great "man" tunes,, everybody's covered,, from Waylon to Elvis
I can remember listening to this old song back in my old hometown. It was such a dead end place and those who stayed too long found themselves trapped. Luckily, I managed to escape.
OMG!!!! The memories this song brings back!!! My Grandpa's name was Charlie and when this song would come on the radio, he'd crank it up, and we'd sing it!! Such wonderful times. And this is the BEST version, the EXACT version we heard on the radio! Joseph, THANK YOU so much!
The original is THE best because the guitar is PERFECT in this one. It's SO seventies sounding and mellow. Beautiful song, thanks for the post.

Have a listen to Elvis' version. He leaves out the line " I got my pills to ease the pain."
