I love this song, it is so true. Meat Sings it brilliantly When I see him sing it in "Storytellers" - I go weak at the knees, it really touches my heart

Yes, completely agree with you hun - i find that if i close my eyes whilst listenng to this song, then i can feel Meat just behind my shoulder, whispering the words into my ear...

I really like this song now that I understand what it's about. This is the only song of Meats, that I ever had trouble figuring out the meaning of. Once I heard Meat explain it somewhere, that it is about a guy who is dying and all the things he wished he'd done.. I totally get it now, and think it's wonderful. J.

Yes, the Storytellers version of this is my absolute favorite- and to think that they left if off of the CD! Whats up with that? I love the first few lines on the DVD, when Meat closes his eyes and even seems to shudder a bit. Oy, even thinking about it makes me weak in the knees, to borrow a phrase. Oh and the "tire tracks and broken hearts" bit- the first time I heard the song I thought that section seemed out of place, but now I love it. I used to think that the "tire tracks" lines referred to a man who sort of had a "love 'em and leave 'em" attitude, but taken in the context of a dying man, it is absolutely heartbreaking. Shucks, theres a good excuse to get the DVD out tonight and watch it again!
