Guess I knew it all along
I'd have to come back home
'Caude this living on the road
Only makes me tired and sore
Like a bird without a nest
Like a stranger in the night
And my soul cries out for rest
And the end is not in sight
Tastes like sweet magnolia wine
Honey dripping from your mouth
And that sweet little gal of mine
She's the finest in the south
Now the day's are gettin'longer
And the nights are gettin' colder
I just want to come back home
Lay my head down on your shoulder
Guess I knew it all along
I'd have to come back home
'Caude this living on the road
Only makes me tired and sore
Like a bird without a nest
Like a stranger in the night
And my soul cries out for rest
And the end is not in sight
I'd have to come back home

Hints of Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) by Looking Glass
What an absolute 10.
I've been hoping you'd get around to these guys. Nice little ride. Thanks!
Jesse Colin Young did this one first...in 1973: "Mornin' Sun"
Gonna have to dust this album off and enjoy them once again!
The first few bars i thought it was Dire Straights with that guitar line.

Great song off a gem of an album. Saw them live many years ago. Support for Leon Russell. The support band from hell as someone wrote. They sure were. Fantastic concert and very hard act to follow
wow what an excellent hidden gem this..
Were any frogs injured in the production of that artwork?
Sweet memories, been a long time. My memory, ha, remembers a great album cover. Time to pull that vinyl out and play it. Diff ARA album.
Damn this is Outstanding (Toadstanding?) : )

Album cover is awesome.
I passed up several opportunities to see them in iconic bars in and around my home back when I was not of legal drinking age. I could have gotten in back in those days and I was stupid to not go. Que sera.

what if you crossed the amazing rhythm aces and the atlanta rhythm section with the quivering rhythm hounds
I like the album cover. The song's not bad either.
This is just a great album, altogether.
Thanks RP. This was a great song back In the Alt.Scene in the Wash. DC area back in the day. the whole album is a classic.

I was definitely hearing JJ; the vocals too.
I'm hearing guitar echoes of J.J. Cale, I think it's City Girls.

This sound actually predates Dire Straits. Whodathunkit?

Wow! Working the back catalog!

It's been years since I heard this ! Thanks Bill. Played the heck out of this album back in the day.
From Wikipedia "Winchester was the first to record the songs "Third Third Rate Romance" and "The End is Not in Sight", both written by Russel Smith."
Good pick, Bill.
Good Lord, I haven't heard this gem since the 1970s. Thanks for helping it resurface. Has that Marshall Tucker sound/feel to it.
Smooth sound Good tune
Not heard ARA for quite sometime.

This is another reason why I listen to Radio Paradise!
With apologies - original post was wrong................Classic song by Russell Smith - covered by Jesse Winchester. All good Tennessee roots.........
Sounds not bad. Never heard them before.

Wikepedia says it was Jesse Winchester in 1974 on "Learn to Love It"
