@Moose6340 My dad was far from an f-up, in fact he was quite an admirable man. But he died of cancer when I was 25 and he was 56. Guy Clark once said that good songwriting leaves holes in the lyrics in the right places. Well, you might see how the holes in those lines work for me.

This may be his best song because of its complexity. It is forlorn but somehow optimistic. It is hard to put both of those things in a song.

No Shit Sondra?I wasn't being literal, I've been familiar with chris knight since he put out "Chris Knight" his 1st CD, I was turnin' wrenches in Dallas, and all I did with what little off time I had was hit the music scene all over the state, He ain't no Texan, that's like sayin' Fred Eaglesmith is a Texan! He's a Hillbilly Poet, I been up in the hills in north Alabama, and had not heard or seen any of his stuff in several years, and this hit me in the gut! Don't try to teach me, OK?

@watk089 We do consider him an honorary Texan. He plays a lot here. We appreciate great song writing down here. Well some of us. ( : We are seeing Chris this Friday here in Dallas. Been going to see him for the past 10 to 11 years.
