Thank You Mary Chapin for writing this song. I'm touched every time I listen to it. The extended story that most people don't know, which makes this even more touching is that she quietly paid for John Doe's gravemarker at what was previously an unmarked grave in Peoria, Il. Engraved on the stone a lyric from the song - "Life is a mystery, but so too is the human heart"

OK....I love this song. But isn't it ironic that she wrote a song for a man who even in life could never hear it?

I can't listen to this without crying.

One of the best songs by Mary. Love it.

@cjarradr Hi this is from the Stones In The Road CD. You should get it. This song has a great sax part on the CD that is not in the Video

I can't listen to this without weeping. No real reason. That's art, folks. It's the real thing.

Anyone know the name of that guitarist? Is he still with her?

@harrylegthigh That's Duke Levine. He was her regular lead guitarist through the last half of the 90s, and I know he has toured and recorded with her several times since. I'm not sure if they're currently playing together.

I'm from Jacksonville, IL and just heard about this song and man this year. What CD is this on? I can't find it on iTunes.

@cjarradr the song is on Chapin's great '94 CD "Stones in the Road"

when i hear this song, and one by another artist i like a lot, i am always stuck by the thought that some people, like john doe in this tune, have been dealt a hand so much less than the one i have been dealt. their lives come and go and they have so little of what i am fortunate to have. and it makes me appreciate my lot in life. i keep coming back to this song, and the other, when i feel i need reminding of this fact.
