"Don't open my eyes to nothin' like truth. Just leave it all lost in the wind let it hide in the blindness of youth" This song is unreal. The only song keeping me sane. It expresses my crazed and delusional mind in a perfect way.
I can't believe that this song has drawn no comments yet! James is a natural storyteller, with a flair for making the ordinary sound transcendent. He is a genuine troubador...
Sadly, I did not discover this man until 2010. Mcmurtry, Bingham, Hubbard and the like is about all I listen to anymore if I'm not playing 60s, 70s or early 80s.
The most profound Musician that most of the world (Including Nashville) obviously never heard. Think, Bob Dylan writing, actual pleasing voice , plus mad guitar skills! Does it his way…and Father was James Mc Murthy,(of Lonesome Dove writing Fame)!
Just one of my all time favorite McMurtry songs. I was lucky enough to hear him sing it live a couple years back. "Just leave it all lost in the wind, let it hide in the blindness of youth..."
James is the real deal ,don't care much about little gold paper weights or Nashville and their fashion show , saw him at Mojo's in Columbia MO at the end of the show stepped off the stage walked straight to my wife and I said ( alright thanks for coming out) I FROZE UP
I've loved this guy since he came out with "Where's Johnny?" back in the '90s. Glad to see he's not so obscure anymore! His lyrics are poignant and his guitar playing is stellar.
I said "this is the last time" A few times ago But once more it's happened And that's all in the world I know I still hear the echo When you hung up the phone I feel like I'm lost in the back yard Just trying to get home. I woke up in a strange world I can aptly describe It's like the streets of a town where I lived When I was too young to drive It all looks so familiar But I can't find my way I must have got lost in the back yard When I went out to play Don't open my eyes To nothing like truth Just leave it all lost in the wind Let it hide in the blindness of youth The facts of the matter Most likely will always remain And I guess I'll be lost in the back yard Till I get home again
Tallish girl looks like wife in youth. Ending lick sounds nice on my Collings Baby parlor guitar. Roots in good Gospel music. Thank you James from Arlington, Va.
This video of floating lips and teeth is disgusting. But McMurtry's original ballad music is at its best with Lost in the Backyard. A damn brilliant Austin area music genius whom I never tire of listening to.

McMurtry' s songs never fail to engage the mind of this fan. Thanks for all the great music through the years. Peace!
I'm positive this man understands the universe unlike any other mortal man.
@caseyshorb8103Texans are a different breed. With a different view on life. Everything is hard and hot and unforgiving. With respect.

That's what I think sometimes - When I was a kid, I got lost in the backyard when I went out to play, and this is all just a dream.

James is 100% American music. Word artist.
Ken Burgess no shit
His catalog is deep especially the earlier stuff,, most peeps dont get it ,, oh well
I said "this is the last time"
A few times ago
But once more it's happened
And that's all in the world I know
I still hear the echo
When you hung up the phone
I feel like I'm lost in the back yard
Just trying to get home.
I woke up in a strange world
I can aptly describe
It's like the streets of a town where I lived
When I was too young to drive
It all looks so familiar
But I can't find my way
I must have got lost in the back yard
When I went out to play
Don't open my eyes
To nothing like truth
Just leave it all lost in the wind
Let it hide in the blindness of youth
The facts of the matter
Most likely will always remain
And I guess I'll be lost in the back yard
Till I get home again
Thanks for posting the lyrics so I can listen to a nice song without having to watch a dreadful video.
Feckin' LOVIN' the old Hammond sound...beautifully understated
James`s songs, All of the feeling and imagination of a really good novel delivered with grace and covered with guitar chocolate.
Channelling the Hank at his best! McMurtry is so under ratedl
Tallish girl looks like wife in youth. Ending lick sounds nice on my Collings Baby parlor guitar. Roots in good Gospel music. Thank you James from Arlington, Va.
Stunning and moving video
beautiful song. Listen to McMurtry a lot on KPIG as well!
Great song
This video needs a replacement. Like NOW. Mose clever and poignant song ever written. Wonderfully performed.

This video is quite scary.
