Dude's a national treasure -- as fine a songwriter as they come!

And in a way back corner of a cross-town bus, we were hiding out under my hat…
Cashing in on a thirty year crush - You can't be young and do that
One of the best stanzas written in music recently

WOW

[@joannehack7588]

You still got that McMurtry magic from decades ago

[@SwampFox-tl2vi]

Never have understood how he isn't more well known.

[@stevespringer122]

He's pretty stringently avoided being well known.

"Cashing in on a 30 year crush. You can't be young and do that, you can't be young and do that"

[@Jaydit7]

Truth!

One of the best songwriters in the game for decades, and still throwing 100 mph fastballs. McMurtry needs to re-record all of his best songs with BettySoo accompanying.

Great job James, love that tune - Warren Zevon did not live in vain.

[@songpoets-ramcey]

One of the best in the biz... period. Thanks, eTown!

[@cousinadam5157]

As a long time side man and recent aspiring songwriter, he terrifies and inspires me- so few are that good! Btw, great guitar solo Nick! 👍

[@UncleBen67]

You can't be young and do that. BINGO ✌️😎👍

[@Tokeland9]

Like the drums on the Live @ the Continental much better…. Great song

[@stevespringer122]

They both have killer bands when they're home. Betty Soo opening for James is solid show!
