Glad you wrote that song Jerry. Inspirational.
I love how he barely knew that Elvis Costello recorded the song until a $60,000 check arrived in his mailbox.
the first time i ever heard the song was elvis costello's version and its been one of my fave songs ever since. i never even knew it was a country song until a cople of years ago!
Good Year for the Rose's is one of the best songs ever written. Is the narrator a numbskull, or is he a stoic? What I've always wondered is whether there actually is the sound of a baby crying, or whether she took the baby with her.
me too! the latter, i think....but what a convoluted (brilliant?) way to say it.
I m yelling, "Go check on the baby, you numbskull!"
I think it’s the shell of a man, living in an empty house, with nothing but empty rooms and a beautiful flowerbed of roses out front reminding him of the life he once had. As Little Richard once put it “I love country, it’s the white man’s blues”.
She took the baby !!
