Mr. Prine was a very sincere guy, but if Willie Nelson did do one if his songs, the songwriter would get the lion's share of the recording royalties, as well as performance royalties. Copywrite law has changed some, but in the old days, a big artist covering a song was a gold mine for the person who wrote it.
The Bette Midler version is nice but I still prefer John. Th only song that's been covered that I could say is better than John's version is Angel from Montgomery by Bonnie Raitt. It's like that song was meant for her.
I still miss John Prine.
John will ALWAYS be my ALL Time FAVORITE!
This guy is the real deal. Humble, wise and very profound lyricist.
He is my all-time favorite
Great one from the Great John Prine
The greatest ever!
Shoutout to sabu visits the twin cities alone! One of my favorite john prine songs
Beautiful
Hello in there is my personal fav, I guess because I grew up in my grandparents house
❤ John 😢
I agree with John, some of his songs could have only have been written by him.

I hear everyone laughing but this song is sad to me..
