      This is actually kind of an ideal song for him to cover. Anthony has spoken in several interviews about the people that he's met along the way and how impactful they've been to him. A driver here, someone that gave teenage him a job there. This song probably resonated a great deal with him. I'm so happy he's introduced me to it. ^-^

    What an amazing cover. Anthony is a cryer, and I love how sensible he is. I’ve heard several people saying (mainly interviewers), how Anthony shines everybody’s life when he is in their presence. He is still at the beginning of his career and I have not seen enough yet, but so far I can say that he is one of those few people that I describe as genuine good. And when I say good, I mean amazing human beings with not a single gram of evilness in their heart. Hope he keeps this path, and that he never changes. This world needs people with good heart like him.

    Howard drives a minivan with the cruise ships from Ft. Lauderdale
    And it's been that way since 1994
    Does his business on a flip phone with the most obnoxious ringtone
    I didn't ask but I can tell he's from New York
    And he spoke proudly of his daughter and that this fall she'd be in college
    And that he always wished he'd gotten his degree
    You can tell he came from nothing, built a future out of hustling
    And somehow I'm the one you people pay to see
    Oh isn't that just the way it goes
    You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated
    Oh how am I the only one who knows
    I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
    Danny showed up early fifteen minutes till five thirty
    Making sure that I'd be on my morning flight
    He said he'd love to fix computers, but that he can't until he's fluent
    So he spends his driving money taking class at night
    He wore a neatly ironed dress shirt and he helps his kids with homework
    And deep inside I couldn't help but ask myself
    Why that at night I'm up on stage, everybody knows my name
    While Danny's early picking up somebody else
    Oh isn't that just the way it goes
    You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated
    Oh how am I the only one who knows
    I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
    And now everything's not given, I work hard to make my living
    But I'll give credit where I think credits due
    Maybe you got dealt a good hand
    Maybe you play it the best that you can
    But I don't know how far you'd walk without those cards
    In Howard and Danny's working shoes
    But that's just the way it goes
    You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated
    Oh how am I the only one who knows
    I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
