From the Heartworn Highways DVD extras

Only Guy Clark can sing a song and make you miss someone you haven't even met.

[SKIMAGAN]

Best description I ever heard of Guy Clark was that he wrote movies for the ears.

[bartbaxter]

I always liked this song, but it was just a really good song till just now. You see I'm pushing 80 now, and it resonates a little different than it did before. I think he's saying goodbye to a man he loved the absolute best way he could say it. Thanks Guy. You and Jack RIP.

One thing that makes life bearable is discovering musicians like Guy Clark or Townes Van Zandt

[willinnewhaven]

When I first heard this song, I identified with the singer/songwriter. Now I am just an old man like the one in the song. RiP Guy Clark.

The rest of you: get off my lawn.

[drewcherry]

This is my favorite version. Guy didn't fill the air with fluff or instrumentals. Raw emotions for the man that helped raise him.

[thestraydawgs]

"Come on Jack, the son of bitch is coming". For ALL of us. I know we can't live forever, but I just wish some of us could live a little longer. Thanks Guy for all your good works. You will be inspiring people forever from where you are.

Guy Clark is one of the heroes of this country

Sometimes a voice and an acoustic guitar is everything

I MET GUY CLARK AT THE CAMPGROUND AT THE KERRVILLE FOLK FESTIVAL IN THE 70'S - BEFORE HIS INEVITABLE FAME. SUCH A HUMBLE MAN. AN AMAZING SONGWRITER, AND PLAYED ALONG WITH OUR SONGS AT A CAMPFIRE.. HE PLAYED THIS SONG ALONG WITH OTHERS. SUCH AN HONOR TO HAVE MET HIM. GOD REST HIS WONDERFUL SOUL. A TRUE MAN OF MUSIC.

Feeling so sad. When I was a young woman, I worked at a bar called the Cactus Cafe in Austin Texas. I remember when Guy would play and I did shots with his wife backstage. Such a sweet man and an amazing songwriter.
RIP Guy.

This song has a completely different meaning from when I was 30, now I'm 70. I knew not! Not in a bad way, it's more precious than ever! I am extremely enjoying this phase of my life! Laughing all the way at the irony of life!

I've battled cancer 2 times and still standin, dog near 60 years old with a grandson only 3.I hope i get to hang around long enough to get him to understand the importance of this song .saw Guy play at Rockefellers 3 times in the mid to late 90s.dont know what else to say

[JannoKlufs]

This is just the ultimate version of this song... Its his song and I guess he made a lot of better versions that we will never hear, but this is one of this gold nuggets that we get to touch and feel, and I think we should'nt even think that anyone else can deliver it with the same feeling and intention as Guy does... because they just can't

[mattguest]

I’ve been listing to this song for a quarter century, and my eyes water or outright every time.
It helped me through my father’s passing last year.

[OkieGirlForever]

Guy....the world needs you so badly. Townes too....the voices may have been silenced but this talent, it'll last as long as there are ears to listen.

[michaelbentley]

If you have ever looked up to anyone in your life that your parents told you not to, then you can identify with this masterpiece.

This old world could never have enough Guy Clarks!
