What a great storyline and song. I've always loved this song but haven't heard it in some time. How nice to find it here today as I'm on a Harry Chapin listening binge. This song brings back many great memories from those wonderful days of the 70's. Also, I can just envision the lady he's singing...

Few songs can create the imagery that Harry did in this song. I love this song and just fall right into it every time I hear it. Thanks for posting it!

@chess9920012002 Then you use a different technique.

This song just sounds great! Excellent job gentlemen.

I heard this on college radio KEPC while driving home tonight. I really like the sound and feel of this song. It reminds me of something the Style Council might have done in the '80s. I'll have to check out more of their music.

Love this song. He still sounds great singing it. Thanks Johnny Rivers and thanks for posting it.

This one of the best songs ever. I can listen to it over and over.

@spiderdragon1969 Looks like were in high school through the same years, and I couldn't agree more.

I've always loved this song. As a drummer, it's one of those songs that would be a lot of fun to play with a band. A classic from an era that had a lot of fun music.

The economy already is socialized to the tune of several million dollars toward bank bailouts and military adventures. Those folks in banking and "defense" contracting do their protesting behind closed doors and call it lobbying. Another reason OWS comes off as not having an ef...

You are correct. Not they are NOT the ONLY American in love with Paul Heaton and the Housemartins. My brother and I had a band band in the early 1990's that played this song, plus Over There, I'll Be Your Shelter, We're Not Deep and other Housemartin songs as well as several Beaut...

The only bigger morons than her are folks who think she's presidential material.

@ericcanela123 Unfortunately, ass crack has become all too common in today's fashion. My guess is there's too much ass trying to fit into too little of pants. Of course, the belly rolls between the ass crack pants and the too short top are always a bonus too. Disgusting.

@stopglobalswarming Not a whole lot. What have they don't to make it worse? It seems to me that both political parties have done a great job of taking care of corporate America and the upper 8% while letting the consumers (we're no longer citizens) pick up the tab. However, right-wing radio and ...

This movie looks like a wet dream for the let's spend even more money we don't have on more military hardware and endless "defense" projects we don't need. We're still thinking in a gung-ho WWII war mode when the rest of the world has moved on to financial and cyber war. There's really no need fo...

I played drums in a cover band that did this song back in the day. All I can say is when we played this song the crowd went wild. This song has a smooth groove that isn't so easy to pull off and make sound good live. If I remember right it took us a while to get the sound right. The instrumental ...

My dad played a little guitar and loved this song back in the dad. I remember him singing this song to me and my sister with his acoustic guitar. What memories it brings back, especially now that he is gone is gone. Thanks for posting it.
