Sometimes you can't get much closer to the truth than Country/Rock. This one is thanks to Rodney Crowell and Vince Gill.

There's just something about this tune, the melancholy, the whimsical whistling, the simple lyrics... it's such a good natured song all in all. :)

Feeling the mid-life crisis right about now (good news is that I should make it to 94 years old!). Going through my 80s music, and re-rediscovering these gems, and finally I get to see the videos. Meet the Verlaines from New Zealand

I know that I linked this before, but the song just came up on the carousel, and I had to listen to it a couple of times. It's that good.
