Hey, I'm with ya there! But this one is better than the last two, so there is that!
As a younger man, I would have listened to the whole song, but I'm at least trying to grow up some these days! (I cannot believe I just said that! Never intended to!)

I love that song. Heard it for the first time in December 2007. Had never heard of Robert Earl. Moved to Texas a month later and realized how famous he is there. Great music.
