Love this song. Had the pleasure of meeting John a couple of times. A gracious kind man willing to spend a few minutes talking to a fan and making me so happy. It's great when your heroes are as great as you imagine.
Have you ever heard the original song writer Dave Alvins version? I never new that this was a cover song by X. Side note. John Doe was the drummer in the movie Pure Country.
My dear… you don’t remember me. You and X were trapped in Carolina. You were playing the Cave. I promised you, and your Cali buddies, that we were fine (with 2 inches of ice and a uphill climb) . Just fine! Dammit No matter and no worries. One thing I’ve done every year since 4th came out. Sing it. Thanks love.

Magic. Absolute magic
The love i have for this song is beyond compare thanks for sharing
Great song and John Doe is a national treasure.
Imagine being a cop and pulling over someone named John Doe? Lol
Had to watch every different version of this song today ☺️
Good to know I'm not the only one LoL Happy Independence Day 🎆

My wife Irene's favorite summer song. I've been playing it for her for 30 years.

John Doe....He's The Man.
I love this. Thank you for sharing it. His voice is better than ever.
John playing a Tele? Doesn't get any better. "Dry your tears and baby walk outside....its the 4th Of July."
One of my favorite songs
Better late than never. Great version!!!
Great solo version of a timeless song. Reminds me of my ex. For those practicing, it starts at 0:30
Respect ✊ I truly love this song. So many great memories tied to this :)
Respect!!
wow..i'd have driven down for this!
He does a surprising lot with the guitar on this.
Damn that’s good stuff!
WOW
I just texted Dave's version to all my friends....7/4/22. 😊👍🙏

Great version. But it’s never as good as when Dave Alvin is singing it.
