I remember holdin on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
I only miss you here every now and then
Like the soft breeze blowing up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers I break down and cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
I only miss you here every now and then
Like the soft breeze blowing up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers I break down and cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

Steve Earle, who performed (and wrote/composed?) another fine tune called Telephone Road (from El Corazon), follows a great Dire Straits tune that's off the Love Over Gold collection that includes one of their finest possible tracks, an epic titled Telegraph Road, with about as good a guitar solo as there ever was. As long it's a sort-of back-to-back pairing, why not do them such.
Always loved Emmylou's version of this, but this is great too. So who's the original and who's the cover?
This set is sinking fast.
Few artists' music seems as personal and approachable as Mr. Earle's. This one's a beaut.
Oh, this is sweet, and heartbreaking. As only Steve Earle can do.
Damn-that remnds me -I gotta get to th' store!

Recorded Oct 1998. Sessions At West 54th. Show also featured The Del McCoury Band. The song is from Steve`s terrific 1995 album "Train A Comin`". Thanks to 'mcaguitars' I now know that the guitar is a Gibson 'Roy Smeck' Re-issue.
"The picking is not that easy. Steve's uses hammers on between G and G4, and does the same for D7(sus2?)/F# and D6/F# and most of the other chords. Chords out there will only give you the basic which feels rather unsatisfying after you have listen to this very fine piece of music. Apart from that, it is a fairly standard alternative thumb picking. After a couple of weeks it should feel natural. He uses it on a wealth of other songs so it really is worthy to learn his picking style." buckyk4tt
"Steve has a signature Martin guitar. I think it's M21 Steve Earle. Great sound and reasonable price for a Steve fan." asatelado
"Well, understand that what's on radio and the mainstream, has nothing to do with true talent. It has to do with selling records to the mass of sheeple who all think they like the same things. True talent, like this, is appreciated by the ones who recognize true talent.Us!
That's all that matters :-)" bottomfeeder73
No plays for this song? That's a shame. It's one of his best IMO.
I think this is still my fav Steve Earle album and the first one i bought and Goodbye could be his best song ever.
Despite his more recent albums, this one defines Steve Earle for me...
"Nothin Without You" w/ EmmyLou on this album... is, well, music to my ears
