Lyrics again? Have you ever heard a song a million times but never listen to it?

I heard this today. Glen Campbell had a monster hit with this, I never really paid attention to it but I heard the John Hartford version. He was the one that wrote it. Somehow he makes the lyrics jump out at me.

"Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us,
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face,
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind"

You just couldn't write a song like this today.

my mom loved the Marty Robbins version of this song. I've heard it many times in my life but it wasn't until i wanted to share it with my kids that I actually HEARD all the lyrics and the lines toward the end of the song gave me chills the first time i finally listened to every word.

Not for me, but for most of the rest of humanity- Richard Berry's version of "Louie Louie". Unlike the singer of the Kingsmen, Berry could actually enunciate, so it's very easy to tell what the words actually ARE. And yes, he would know; he's the one who WROTE the song.

Here I thought Glen Campbell did. He at least did it better.

it was a more produced recording, I have heard it a million time but never really listened to it. Glen Campbell was one of the best performers of his time.

Yes a lot of those Def Leopard songs, if I look up the lyrics is nothing like I thought.

That's a really good song. Great lyrics.
I have to admit that I like Glen Campbell's version better. I remember when it was popular.
