My Dad. Died the beginning of last year , but the spring before that I went down to Mesa and played and sang My Old Man to him and he sang along with me. Most important thing I ever did in my entire life. Miss the old man tonight...
My Dad's been gone 9 Long Years Now! Oh How I miss Him! His Fave Prine song was always Paradise i recall him singing it many times around the house, R.I P. Dad We Love and Miss YOU!!!
There used to be a better quality around. I look for it about once a year and it always moves me. I can’t relate to any of the lyrics but the rawness still grabs ahold of you.
"...and I'd give all I own..." yeah, Steve, I'd give all I own to have you back with us too, buddy. You died so young, but your songs will live forever.
on the original recording by Steve, the last line, he vamps on the guitar missing the last line and you can hear him sniff, it's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever heard.
I love this song so much and I cry every time I listen.

John Prine and Steve Goodman - the best of the best.

Not once have I heard this song and not get choked up

Steve does it on Austin City Limits here in RUclips, followed by an amazing slide guitar version of I'll Fly Away.

I hope dad hears this when I listen
he does esp when we sing along
Can't believe no one has hit on this....a clasic J. Goodman covered by J. Prine. Beautiful.
Nito

I cry every time I hear him sing that song. He was a true gem. He died way too young. Just like his old man, and like my old man....
God exists. Songs like these clever little reminders
❤❤❤❤❤
How could anyone dislike this song????
Two stars , John and Steve.
The Good Lord knows I'm missing my dad tonight!😥
They say nobody dies until their name is spoken for the last time. Remember your Dad and remember John.
this song really touches me... especially sung by prine
for my dad 10/2/22--1/21/11. thanks for the posting
Wonderful song with poignant lyrics about a member of "The Greatest Generation".
John and Steve both gone now. If I were a song writer, I'd try to write something this poignant about the both of em. The thought's there, though.
Too csre of my dad last two years at 97 he spent an hour after thanksgiving tslk
Telling us bout his service in the pacific Great War and I cry too much to comment from Chicago man do I miss these guys ❤
Got most his songs
JOHN PRINE HAD THROAT CANCER BUT HE HAS UNDERGONE TREATMENT AND IS CANCER FREE. HE HAS 2 BOYS AND A LOVELY IRISH BRIDE. HE IS VERY MUCH ALIVE!!
💙🙏💙
I can't find a version about this with Steve Goodman, but Prine always did good with Goodman...
There’s a Goodman version on RUclips. Keep looking.
Check the Goodman version at m.ruclips.net/video/SAxKDLiwrhw/видео.html&fs=e&s=cl
O boy

Sadly, he is now. May 2020
@@libraryellen Actually, he sadly died on April 7, 2020. I'll forever miss him ~
He's alive in my heart ❤️

How funny is it being human anyway? Satan hates us, God loves us and yet it's still confusing somehow. How to act right, Thank God for Jesus.
had to be a mistake - if not, just pity them
