Sorry, but this goes on for FAR too long, and does absolutely nothing for me. Far from the best that country music has to offer.
Yeah... This beats the hell out of that OTHER song from the same album. A friend gave me this disc as a gift last year and this track was the only one worth listening to. As always...IMHO. :roll:
"Dreams are just prayers/Without the put-on airs" Just for that line, I bump my rating up two points.
Anyone know the story on this guy? I love it.
Reminds me of the song from Raising Arizona. Any connection?
I lived in Brownsville for a while. Yeah I remember her.
This guy consistently has FANTASTIC lyrics. So nice to hear!

Completes the pleasantly uneasy atmosphere of this piece, imo.
Nice. I love the production of this song. Popular one week, dead the next mainstream Country Music "artists" would benefit from studying this approach to a song with a more western feel to it.
More impressively: "Still from the lips of this half-hearted sinner comes the pledge of a half-baked saint. 'Cause Lord I might finally be willing to become the religious fool you always wanted me to be...if in return we could just tell that girl I'm the man you and me both know that I ain't..."
