great story by a first rate musician and story teller.
Just the way you're standing says it all.
Love this song.
Fantastic cut from his live album from aught three
Love this version and very cool images
I always, always, have one too many hearing this.
I was waiting to see all the others, very nice! I get lost in the past and then the present listening to James M.
this is one of my all time favorite songs. I've seen it live once - acoustic. fuck me.
Excellent Ed. High quality all the way.
I love this GUITAR Sound here and the pics, too ! cool tune
Great Version. A nod to Mike M. Pity there isn't an Album version on You Tube to hear the band version
I am a simple man , I hear something I like , I post.
Where you going
With your head hung down
Papers blowin' through the streets of town
They've already taken all
Of your posters down
Didn't take 'em long once
The orders came down
Sunrise off the lake shining in your eyes
Shining on the wasted and the wise
All you hear ringing in your ears are
Boldfaced lies
That scream like the gulls in that smoke stained amber sky
Fly back to the nest if it helps at all
Saint Mary of the Woods in the early fall
The leaves are turning on the Wabash now and children sing to you
They sing a song of your dreams come true
Where you goin'
Brandy on your breath
Bottle's open spilled across the desk
Snifter's broken, smashed against the wall
Just the way your standin' says it all
You hung the sign out please do not disturb
Driver's waiting out front on the curb
Write it off as one more half sold show
Once they've seen your best
They can forget about the rest don't you know

Thx for this... sounds good!
Nice! Thanks!
Good tune, new to me. Starting @ 0:16 it reminds me of the Tragically Hip, Grace Too.
Great stuff ! A hint of lou reed and warren zevon...
And Neil Young
I went to SMWC
