    "Out here in the Middle, where the center's on the Right, and the ghost of William Jennings Bryan preaches every night, to save the lonely souls in the dashboard light.".
    One of the best lyrics that's ever been written. It just punches me in the gut.

      It’s quite a complex lyric. You really need to live ‘out in the middle’ to really feel it.

    James's father Larry McMurtry , author of Lonesome Dove and The Last Picture Show passed away on March 25. What a talented family! RIP Larry.

    I've heard Robert Earl Keen sing this song. I wonder if this song was written originally by Keen or McMurtry.

      This was played long before Trump was ever in the picture. Damn we can go back as much as 500 years now and can hammer people on stuff that went on back then

      @@jamescampbell2778 So, we can go back 500 years; but, we don't have to. We can go back just 2 years. It is what it is, we don't have to hammer anyone. We can just live our lives as they won't. It's a good song; Let us all be better by it.
