This version is not the one on the album.
There are a lot of sad songs out there, but this one stands alone.
Godspeed, Mr. Prine.

How does a 25 year old kid write something like this? We won't see another songwriter like John Prine for a long time. Pure gold!

Probably my fave John Prine tune, and that's saying a lot.
Well, this or "Hello in There".

I was just thinking about this out of the blue as being the saddest song I know. 

A poignant and painful, truthful and well-observed song, the way only Prine can deliver it.
I 2nd the 3 before comments for this song.
Still never played? Maybe now is the time...
A 10 if there ever was.
9.6 rating and never been played. Here's hoping Bill get's my request to give it a spin.
