I remember listening to Jerry Jeff singing this when I was a kid and just thinking, "This is so much better than Mr. Bojangles!" I was a weird kid, thanks to Todd for helping keep me that way
"he could get you through the lean times / just by making it up" is one of the most hopeful things you can sing. We all live in a sea of bullshit made up by other people and organizations for reasons that almost never, ever have anything to do with our happiness. Why not make up some bullshit of our own just to make ourselves happy? I'd be willing to bet that bullshit will get you through the lean times better than the truth ever would.
Gerald Brown - I vacillate btw Stoney, Desperados Waiting for a Train, and Eastern Ave River Railway (and Jaded Lover and Too Many Mornings, Contrary to Ordinary, oh and i want "Follow" at my funeral). I do love me some JJW. And love this guy as much.

Great song and you totally own it, like you wrote it. Hey man, if I were to make the pilgrimage from NJ to East Nashville, do you think we could hang one afternoon, burn a couple, and pic some songs? I'm serious as a heart attack bro. You're a tough guy to contact so I'm resorting to this--yeah pretty pathetic, I know. I just feel like you're MY Jerry Jeff. Meeting you and jamming a little bit would make my fuckin' life! Google me, I'm easy to find. Peace my Good Man!
Jerry Jeff was the first concert I ever attended! Changed my life right then and there! Viva La JJW!
I know you are hurting now, that was the greatest tribute to Jerry jeff, absolutely perfect.
Todd Snider Rules!!

Damn good man. I am always looking for covers of this to see how people treat it.
Texas is the birth place of so many great songwriters.
Like an unnaturally huge number. Cuz nuthin else to do ? or sumthin in the air ??
Beautiful
I love you, brother. Make sure to drive real fast and take a lot of chances out there.
But this is ☮️💜🅰️ love ya Brian I'll see you before the later man !

I love the end of that movie "Hero" with Dustin Hoffman. " It's all bullshit!*
Who would down vote this
Maybe if Brian would just make a beer run when he hears beerrun then everybody could be happy
