Didn't He know what He was doin
Putting eyes into my head?
If He didn't want me watching women
He'd a-left my eyeballs dead

Isn't that so?
Isn't that so?
You've got to go where your heart says go
Isn't that so?

Didn't He know what He was doin
When He made the magic vine
His own Son got a reputation
Turning water into wine

Isn't that so?
Isn't that so?
You've got to go where your heart says go
Isn't that so?

Line of least resistance lead me on, lead me on,
Line of least resistance lead me on.

Didn't He know what He was doin
When He divided high and low
You got to bury the seed in the dirt my friend
If you want the thing to grow

Isn't that so?
Isn't that so?
You've got to go where your heart says go
Isn't that so?

Bill, you must play more JW. His voice is incomparable. Ask The Bob.
JW was a supremely talented singer, songwriter and musician. Never got the credit he deserved. Saw him in concert several times. Sublime performance every time. Met him once. Love him. Miss him.

Thus the Canadian football reference; 3rd down, 110 to go.
The US equivalent being 4th down, 100 to go!
(The Seahawks equivalent; shoulda run the ball; D'oh!!!)

Are there no limits to how good a song can get?
Love to hear  his voice. Thanks.

Great voice, straightforward GTR chords, feels like learning to play this song.

RIP, Jesse.
Not a big of Lyle Lovett, but slightly prefer his version to this. Slightly.
Wow, just heard of his passing after a long battle with cancer. RIP.
