PS. As well as She Ain't Going Nowhere by Guy Clark I can't believe I left THIS song off my fave country songs list. I SUCK! The dreaded "embedding disabled by request" but GO HERE. I love that whole rekkid those three did together. WHERE IS IT? I own it. WHERE IS IT??
Well here's Guy now, which cannot make up for my shameful omission. Like for reals this song is only pipped by If You See Her Say Hello as my my favourite song ever so how did I blank it that night? Neuroplasticity, how you mock me.
It's not the whole song but it includes my favourite bit of hillbilly haiku:
Well the wind had a way with her hair
And the blues had a way with her smile
And she had a way of her own
Like prisoners have a way with a file
PPS While we (I) are (am) on a YouTube kick -- Dublin Blues by Guy Clark is also a perfect song. The perfect essence of a song, all Platonic like.
Forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinking what I thought
I often think this quatrain should be my next tattoo.
