My parents divorced when I was 7 years old, and every Tuesday night, I my mom would pick up my brother and I to drive us to her apartment. On the drive over, my mom would always play her Steve Earle CD. I couldn't stand Steve Earle back then, but over a decade later, I find that he allows me to reconnect to my childhood like nobody else.
Steve’s a great songwriter one of the best for sure too bad he got on heroin at his peak who knows what he would’ve wrote and played through those years
If you have ever lived in a small town and felt trapped there, this song speaks to you. A truly underrated talent and my favourite country singer/songwriter.
@@SlitherWhisp Isbell is an amazing writer, and has a great voice. My favorite of the younger generation. When I first heard the song I immediately thought it might be the same character from Steve's song, 20 years later after never leaving. Check out Isbell's work if you haven't. I would start with Southeastern, which was his first album after getting sober.
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music may God bless you.
@@SteveEarle-fi2jpGreat song writing and the outro on that twangy guitar makes the ending .. I bought this album when it came out... It speaks volumes bro...
+David Scott I would argue John Prine does it as well, though not necessarily better. Would be hard for me to choose between the two, but Prine's "Angel from Montgomery" is a perfect song. As a new writer Jason Isbell is showing that promise. His "Hudson Commodore" reminds me a lot of Angel, in the way it gets inside the head of an aging woman.
Sometimes the greatest stories aren't about larger-than-life people or events. Sometimes a story can touch your heart because it's simple enough that you can see yourself in it like a story about growing up in a town smaller than your hopes and dreams.
+susan gabrielle (The Stage Coach) me too susan; I'm 65 earth years old and feel so enriched for discovering Steve; kind like when I found Townes Van Zandt; another true artist!
cause the general public are worthless pop slop hiphop rejects that has no clue what real or good music is, lol kayne west is what they believe is talent, which that alone proves that most americans are an inch away from braindead
I hope you have found peace, my friend. I'm sure your dad has. Always remember, death, no matter how tragic, is a fate not one of us will escape. It is something we will all share; our common destiny. One day, all of us will rejoin our lost loved ones in whatever world awaits us after this life. I take comfort in that. I hope you can to. All the best to you and your loved ones.
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music may God bless you.
This song speaks as strongly to me now as it did when I was 21. Despite 32 years, a child, a divorce, PTSD, heart problems and upcoming surgery for cancer. Wish i could sing, so I could do it justice
My favorite Steve Earle song.One of the best 'Americana" songwriters in the business. Ranks up there with Springsteen, Mellencamp, Petty, Dylan etc. Never quite got the recognition he deserves though. Keep rockin' Steve!
John Blair they’re both just unbelievable poets, not the biggest fan of prine’s sound but god damn those lyrics are magical. Steve spent 10 years in Nashville learning to write music and shooting heroin, seemed to work amazing cause he’s the best songwriter in my opinion
Peter. They both posses profound and unimaginable talent. Like so many, they perform their magical gift for only few to hear. That is really such a tragedy.
Sent this to my son who is graduating college next week, 1st in my family to do so. So proud of him and this song sums up just a little of how I feel for him right now. You go kid, you've made us all proud! You know who you are. Capt. D.
My Dad always listened to Steve Earle, when he'd take me and my brother to school in the morning back in the 90s this was always in the tape deck. I love Steve Earle and this song in particular brings back so many happy memories. So nostalgic.💜
This was one of my oldest sisters favorite song. She would always turn up the volume and sing to this song. It’s been four months since my sister passed away. I find my self listening to this song and thinking of her. Life is short and anything can happen unexpectedly. Love hard. ❤️😇 R.D.
Wow so cool! That makes sense as I'd been wondering where that Moscow/Memphis sign was. Looks like it pretty much has to be where 57 comes off 18 toward LaGrange. Which would be a way to get some good side road footage if headed from Jackson back to Memphis. Street view shows there's actually a sign there but the service station must be long gone. Been watching this on Vevo 80s country videos for a few years. They play quite a few Steve Earle songs and they are all great.
The genuine article. Steve has always been honest with his music. Never sang anything that wasn't true to him at the time. I love the man and his music. Can't wait to see him again.
I felt this in my soul growing up in the South in the '90s. Then I moved across the state. Then across the world. Repeated a few times. A long, long way from home now. I'll never go back. I sort of envy the people who were content to stay. It's probably good to feel at home somewhere.
My husband introduced me to steve.He was murdered 7 years ago.I love listening to steve, reminds me of when we were together. (Ernest Dillard), gone but never forgotten, Donna Dillard . I'll always love Ernie
Just searching for a song Called if I was a Truck and just came across this guy. Listen to a few song and really really like it. Good music, like the words. I can’t believe I never heard of him ❤
You gonna have to thank my mum for giving birth to this world talented musician .if you wanna dialogue more my first digit is 616 followed by 675 then 298 and 7.
Just met the man himself this past Saturday...I'm still in awe & can't believe I had the pleasure of meeting him...Best concert I've been to yet, hands down & I've been to many.
When I was 14 I got a black 67 Chevelle SS with a 496inch stroked big block and a 4spd with 4:11 posi trac.... I drove a million miles in the drive way it had uncapped headers and Saturday mornings I would go out at 7am and crack the throttle a few times until the neighbor's would come out screaming at me...lol..(it did get snuck out a time or 2) but this song will always be in my heart and that ol CHEVELLE!! Thank you GRANDADDY and STEVE for the soundtrack of my life!!!!
@@bryangadow1459 maybe...Someday? There's not one traffic light in Woodland, Alabama. Steve's authentic~ captures the essence of small town life. "Where's the nearest beer?" Right past the Georgia state line ... til 8 yrs ago this county was dry. That lil store sold alot of cold beer; we were drinkin some of it by the creek first time 96Rock played this. Omg, what a trip. The Right Place @ the Right Time is a fine moment. The Right Song makes it perfect. Lasts 4ever. Only an authentic soul can see into your own. TY Steve♡

My baby brother (who died in a wreck 7 months ago) and I sang this song to each other all of the time. 😢 I miss him so much and this song brings back SO MANY memories. ❤ I had 32 years with him. 😢
It’s a great song for sure brings back a lot of memories for me too and I’m sorry about your little bro life can hit you square in the nuts and it’s not fair

I remember being 15 sitting in my 1st car (old musty smelling 65 Impala) with my guitar and playing along with this song on my stereo...just dreaming about taking off into the great unknown. This song captures those feelings of youth; of being almost ready to break out on your own and feeling held back... I can't remember the person who said it but these words are so true "youth is wasted on the young" LOL
What a morning..Feel the pain laying here listening to music that makes it a little better...My mother when I need her..feel so lost miss her so much.. memories is all I got left of her..
I LOVE Steve's writing. And voice. I did the lighting for him on a show in Louisville when the record was released. He was a hellava nice guy. I don't think he ever got the recognition he deserved
Right on Joeseph. You know what they say, to sing the blues, you have to have lived the blues and Steve Earle's is the living embodiment of that phrase. His songs are the story of his life and countless other disalussioned, angry young men and women every here whose American dream never materialized like we were promised as kids. But Steve's eloquent singing from the heart and writing prowess have made him a legend amongst mainstream country artists and singer/songwriters all over the world today. I know cause I'm one of them and that's how I am in my singing and writing too. Like Hank sr. said, "boy make em feel what you feel inside".
I hear this song and smile.. My brother was a basketball legend. but he never gave up on me.. to surreal how this song is so how the world is right now. the 1 Percent have it all and us middle class are still trying to get by even though we have degrees but we are screwed... bc of the tax loop holes.. thanks CORPORATE america...
Hey there Steve. Jeannie from Hampton, Va. Remember the time you ran away from home. Came back to where you were born,Ft. Monroe? You and my brother's and my sweet dad practiced playing in our garage. Last time we spoke many yrs.ago you did. We need to stay in touch. Love you brother 💙❤
This song reminds me of back home, where the only towns within 100miles have between 50-800 people. All the kids in high school want to leave and go to the big city, but most find their way back to the country to settle down.
My "town" has 97 people. It's so small, that we don't have a post office. We all have to get our mail from a town almost 10 miles away... And to think that I grew up in a capital city with hundreds of thousands of people in it, and I was in love with that place... It's only because I didn't know any better... I'm definitely home now though.
The theme of this song is pretty universal whether you grew up in the country or the city. Everyone remembers feeling this way as a teen or a young man. At least I do.
This whole album was for us country boys across America's small towns lookin at the horizon. To leave...and find out most of what your lookin for is on this side of the rainbow! True country icon wont see anymore like him
The angst in this song is personal. I forget this whole album, but for me, it is in my top 10 all time. When looking at an artist, I tend to pigeonhole them, I saw Steve Earle 33 years after this album came out. He came out with no opening act and played for nearly 3 hours. He played a lot of his newer stuff ( see the pigeonhole comment above), and I was somewhat disappointed. When he struck the first chord on Someday, I stepped into a time machine. It is well publicized about his struggles with drugs and how they had ravaged his voice. What is not so well publicized is his retreat from the edge and recovery. His voice was strong and true. He still had that fierce raw sound, he took me back to the mid-80s and I wasn't in a cold theater in Chattanooga anymore. I was 49 miles frim Memphis in a backwater town with dreams of a different life. Thank you for your truth telling.
Watching and hearing this fills me with a heavy, burdensome sadness....the eagerness of youth at war with the inevitability of failure, and the urgency to act before a window of opportunity is slammed shut forever. I was there. I blew it. I am envious of youthful chances.
lemme rephrase...you are right...but i was saying it in a different way...i'll try again....at the time he knew he had a gift (and still does)...he knew his options were limited if he stayed AT HOME...if anyone his age stayed there...he knew something better was OUT THERE....he was willing to take that chance and look ever the rainbow...he was also smart to leave quickly so his window of opportunity didn't close on him....he did the hard work, sometimes at great peril to himself...didnt sell out...and ultimately accomplished his goal...he is a hero...and folks are proud of his accomplishments...its just so sad when those who are younger waste use those opportunities....again...i do agree with your assessment.
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music mayGod bless you.
A song and a story any of us people from a small town can relate to. A true "grass is greener on the other side" tale, that we all dream about. I'm gonna git outta here someday...
Although I don’t normally care for studio performances as much, nor do I care for music videos that much. This is probably the best version of this tune that I’ve heard. It also puts things into perspective for a boy from a small town Kentucky boy from a place where if you blink you miss the whole town. The town is Lacie. If you blink you miss it, it literally consists of like 4 houses and an old broke down grocery store, with an RC Cola machine out front. I’ve got me a 2001 Chevy she’s low and sneaky black, someday I’ll put her on 71 and never look back!!! 😂😂😂
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music may God bless you.
I’m so excited to finally come see your show in August!! You’re the best. I’ve been a fan through it all. Now you know my age...it wasn’t an easy journey for you, but here we are!
'There ain't alot you can do in this town, drive down to the lake and turn back around' I will never forget where I came from. As I get older I miss it more. Love this song.
Cracks, you are so right. I've been a fan of Steve Earle's for years and years and years, we grew up in the same part of Texas. Try to catch him on his tour if he's in your town, he's coming back to Minneapolis July 27, I'll be there as always. He's God's gift to music.

Steve’s a great songwriter one of the best for sure too bad he got on heroin at his peak who knows what he would’ve wrote and played through those years
If you grew up in a small town you know this song already....
For all of us who grew up in these small towns
@NM156 queensryche reference?
Damn rite
New Franklin Ohio born and raised
In Appalachia its dig coal, sell drugs or go in the military or take out loans for school that you can never pay off.
I miss that town.
If you have ever lived in a small town and felt trapped there, this song speaks to you. A truly underrated talent and my favourite country singer/songwriter.
My favorite too.. but also listen to Speed Trap Town by Jason Isbell. It is a similar theme.
looking it up right now!
What a great song.
@@SlitherWhisp Isbell is an amazing writer, and has a great voice. My favorite of the younger generation.

I'm trapped in a big city and feel the same way
the single greatest motivational song for people who grow up in rural America, who find it so hard to leave but so a desire to never come back.
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music may God bless you.
One of his greatest songs IMO. I hit the road when I was 18,
I put her on the interstate and never looked back....
@@SteveEarle-fi2jpGreat song writing and the outro on that twangy guitar makes the ending ..
I bought this album when it came out...
It speaks volumes bro...
Steve Earle has always had a unique ability to create 3 to 5 minute stories and create landscapes in his songs. No one does it better.
+David Scott I would argue John Prine does it as well, though not necessarily better. Would be hard for me to choose between the two, but Prine's "Angel from Montgomery" is a perfect song. As a new writer Jason Isbell is showing that promise. His "Hudson Commodore" reminds me a lot of Angel, in the way it gets inside the head of an aging woman.
Look up Chris Knight
David Scott That truth. We all have a story of each song he sang in are hearts. Lots folks try hide from the dark side of life .
I’m not disputing your claim, but I’d like to throw John Prine in the mix.
tom t hall did it without drugs and throwing liberal mumbo jumbo at people. with that said I am a huge fan... if that makes sence.
Sometimes the greatest stories aren't about larger-than-life people or events. Sometimes a story can touch your heart because it's simple enough that you can see yourself in it like a story about growing up in a town smaller than your hopes and dreams.
Steve Earle is one of the all time great songwriters as well as performers. Damn shame he doesnt get the recognition he deserves by the general public
+David Scott I think that in general singer-songwriters are underappreciated today, except in certain circles.
Amen to that
+David Scott yep. I didn't even know he existed until 2013 and now he's right up there with my all time favorites.
+susan gabrielle (The Stage Coach) me too susan; I'm 65 earth years old and feel so enriched for discovering Steve; kind like when I found Townes Van Zandt; another true artist!

All the best to you and your loved ones.
1:37 bridge of terabithia days 😢
I'm only 16, and all this new age rap and shit is nothing compared to music like this. It actually has a meaning to it, and tells a story.
same here im 15 and love this music
You have to be willing to hear it.
You will be 27 now and this song hopefully still means as much I’m 62 and it still is terrific
Blink and it's gone. Seems along ways away. I heard this song 13-14. Fast forward to 35
nobody gives a fuck 16 year old you
Steve Earle. Unsung hero of the music scene.

Nothing. Matches Tom petty
Just like John Prine. enough said.

But Steve's eloquent singing from the heart and writing prowess have made him a legend amongst mainstream country artists and singer/songwriters all over the world today. I know cause I'm one of them and that's how I am in my singing and writing too. Like Hank sr. said, "boy make em feel what you feel inside".

Sounds like you tossed the Joe Biden loving gun banning clowns salad hey Joe?
I hear this song and smile.. My brother was a basketball legend. but he never gave up on me.. to surreal how this song is so how the world is right now. the 1 Percent have it all and us middle class are still trying to get by even though we have degrees but we are screwed... bc of the tax loop holes.. thanks CORPORATE america...
This song always makes me shed a tear.. this song will always hold a place in my heart.
so much nostalgia
Thanks steve bless you and yours in 2020. Someday!!!!! We're all be over that rainbow
If you really listen to steve its so true and deep there is always a meaning
When I leave my home town I will be on the streets of heaven
love. love, love this song! I come from a small west texas town and this describes it perfectly! I love Steve Earle!!!
Hey there Steve. Jeannie from Hampton, Va. Remember the time you ran away from home. Came back to where you were born,Ft. Monroe? You and my brother's and my sweet dad practiced playing in our garage. Last time we spoke many yrs.ago you did. We need to stay in touch. Love you brother 💙❤
Heard this song many years ago and have searched for it for years! It touched my soul.
Hello how are you doing?
This song reminds me of back home, where the only towns within 100miles have between 50-800 people. All the kids in high school want to leave and go to the big city, but most find their way back to the country to settle down.
this guy is a musical genius
Hopefully Steve Earle will be in the R & R hall of fame someday. He will definitely go into the songwriters hall of fame.
This is my favorite Steve Earle song. I can so identify with the lyrics. This song always makes me think back to my youth and always makes me smile.
This is my favorite as well. There are a lot of songs to like, but none quite like this.
My "town" has 97 people. It's so small, that we don't have a post office. We all have to get our mail from a town almost 10 miles away...
And to think that I grew up in a capital city with hundreds of thousands of people in it, and I was in love with that place...
It's only because I didn't know any better...
I'm definitely home now though.
The theme of this song is pretty universal whether you grew up in the country or the city. Everyone remembers feeling this way as a teen or a young man. At least I do.
Hello how are you doing today..?
This whole album was for us country boys across America's small towns lookin at the horizon. To leave...and find out most of what your lookin for is on this side of the rainbow! True country icon wont see anymore like him
where has this guy been my whole life!!!! awesome music
right!?! an hell i'm 55!
Yes! 80 here...
The angst in this song is personal. I forget this whole album, but for me, it is in my top 10 all time. When looking at an artist, I tend to pigeonhole them, I saw Steve Earle 33 years after this album came out. He came out with no opening act and played for nearly 3 hours. He played a lot of his newer stuff ( see the pigeonhole comment above), and I was somewhat disappointed. When he struck the first chord on Someday, I stepped into a time machine. It is well publicized about his struggles with drugs and how they had ravaged his voice. What is not so well publicized is his retreat from the edge and recovery. His voice was strong and true. He still had that fierce raw sound, he took me back to the mid-80s and I wasn't in a cold theater in Chattanooga anymore. I was 49 miles frim Memphis in a backwater town with dreams of a different life. Thank you for your truth telling.
it is what it is!! a true classic of Steve Earl......
It is what it is in this country. Listen to the music.. Says it all.......
Was the first country band I liked lol💃💃💃💃
I'd put Steve on in a 1980 cabover KW,,8v92,,,when I was 14,,,,,, keep my father awake!!!!!! thanks Steve!!!
Watching and hearing this fills me with a heavy, burdensome sadness....the eagerness of youth at war with the inevitability of failure, and the urgency to act before a window of opportunity is slammed shut forever. I was there. I blew it. I am envious of youthful chances.
lemme rephrase...you are right...but i was saying it in a different way...i'll try again....at the time he knew he had a gift (and still does)...he knew his options were limited if he stayed AT HOME...if anyone his age stayed there...he knew something better was OUT THERE....he was willing to take that chance and look ever the rainbow...he was also smart to leave quickly so his window of opportunity didn't close on him....he did the hard work, sometimes at great peril to himself...didnt sell out...and ultimately accomplished his goal...he is a hero...and folks are proud of his accomplishments...its just so sad when those who are younger waste use those opportunities....again...i do agree with your assessment.
Steve Earle rocks baby! Ky. boy chilling in Matamoras Mexico.
2020!
Bridge to Terabithia!!!
My dad really likes this song n plays it at least twice a day.
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music mayGod bless you.
Classic Steve Earl! Raw Talent, thank you Sir!
Met mr. Earle, cant tell you how i was humbled, such power in one man
I was born in 93 and i love him!!!! For sure one of the best song writers!!!
Listening in 2022.ahh memories.
Hello how are you doing?
2019 and this song still kicks ass!!!
A song and a story any of us people from a small town can relate to. A true "grass is greener on the other side" tale, that we all dream about. I'm gonna git outta here someday...
Although I don’t normally care for studio performances as much, nor do I care for music videos that much. This is probably the best version of this tune that I’ve heard. It also puts things into perspective for a boy from a small town Kentucky boy from a place where if you blink you miss the whole town. The town is Lacie. If you blink you miss it, it literally consists of like 4 houses and an old broke down grocery store, with an RC Cola machine out front. I’ve got me a 2001 Chevy she’s low and sneaky black, someday I’ll put her on 71 and never look back!!! 😂😂😂
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music may God bless you.
1995 baby here but the shit still plays right
God Belss Steve Earl. He has helped my life.
Unironically one of the best country songs ever written/performed.
Everyone in a small town felt this
I’m so excited to finally come see your show in August!! You’re the best. I’ve been a fan through it all. Now you know my age...it wasn’t an easy journey for you, but here we are!
Hello how are you doing..,
'There ain't alot you can do in this town, drive down to the lake and turn back around'
I will never forget where I came from. As I get older I miss it more. Love this song.
Steve Earle is coming to my town November 4th. I'm going! Tickets bought! Can not wait!!
my town June 9...and I'm goin'
Daniel Collins how was it
I miss my brother so much,
this actually describes my town so much
Cracks, you are so right. I've been a fan of Steve Earle's for years and years and years, we grew up in the same part of Texas. Try to catch him on his tour if he's in your town, he's coming back to Minneapolis July 27, I'll be there as always. He's God's gift to music.
one of my favorite songs brings back a lot of memories...
