(J.J. Cale)

I'm sittin' on this train and I'm ridin' home, ridin' home
I'm sittin' on this train and I'm ridin' home, ridin' home
I've got my bag and I'm ready to go, I wish this train didn't move so slow
I'm sittin' on this train and I'm ridin' home, ridin' home

This train don't move like it used to, ridin' home
This train don't move like it used to, ridin' home
This train don't move down the railroad trac, Fast enough to get my baby back
This train don't move like it used to, ridin' home

Interesting - I've checked your comments and find a very good correlation with my tastes - except for JJ, who I seriously rate, along with his influencees like Mark Knopfler. An acquired taste I suppose. Each to his own, but I wonder what it is that doesn't click for you?

Love super compact songs as much as I love those that stretch out forever.  The three-minute song can be great, of course, but it's like having to write an essay with an introduction, 3 paragraphs, and a conclusion.  Same goes for abacab.  Why?

So so so MISS Mr. J.J.  A man who was so appreciated by me and many, of that I am sure, but who did not get the great credit he deserved for his amazing influence on the blues and heartland sound.

I get the theme, Bill. I'M HOME!

Aren't we all trying to get back home, Jojo?

I notice 30 of JJ's tracks in the RP library --- barely scratches the surface. JJ makes music for the ages.

Very cool. Nice silent film/saloon sounding piano in the background, it adds to the mood.
