this song made me buy a guitar and learn how to play guitar- 35 years later I have had the pleasure of meeting Mac in Key West and I now play music for a living - you will never meet a finer person/musician.
"To be better than the best" - now that's an excellent piece of self-description there. You just keep doin' your job, Mac - the rest of us will listen in awe.
Mac! I have been a fan since the 70's with your first album. You are an amazing songwriter, play and singer. Thanks for all the beautiful music you've shared thru all the years. God bless!
Thanks so much for this video Mac. It's such a wonderful song and this is such a fabulous performance. This song has helped me through some tough times and it still chokes me up a little every time I hear it. God bless you for bringing so much light into a dark world.
Sad that Jimmy is gone, but even sadder for me (but better for you) is that it makes it so much harder to get tickets to see you! I’ve been a fan since the early 80s when Alabama was playing some of your music.
Recall when I heard this tune on one of Jimmy's LP's, it just knocked me out. I had to see who wrote it, and when I saw your name I had never heard of you before. What a great tune Mac, love it, and thanks for sharing this version of you singing it. Mac can you possible tell the story behind the story of this song? I recall Billy Joel telling a story of when he visited his father in Vienna, he was watching an old woman sweeping the street and his father telling him how happy and lucky she feels cause she has a reason to live and she is contributing in someway to the beauty of the street. We all need to learn a lesson or two from your song, God Bless.
Wait… isn’t it your job to know how to play it?!? 😂😂 A bit of irony for your Monday! As always, awesome stuff, Mac… brightens my day every single time…
Hey Mac, Big fan. As a finger picker myself, I always wanted to learn your tune. Slowing the vid down to .25 helps it but makes you sound drunk...LOL. Is there correct tab available? Not just chords. Thanks and keep up the great song writin' !
So touching to hear that Mac sang this for Jimmy the night before he passed away. Apparently Jimmy responded “it’s been a hell of a ride.” 😢
Love Mac!! Great performer.

I've met Mac a few times in various places, including in Key West. Fantastic human being.

One of my favorites. It reflects the humility of Mac himself. ❤
Always have loved this song, reminds me of stuff Harry Chapin did.
And that's the truth. You're better than the best, and not just from the musical talent. It's the whole thing.
Absolute finest songwriter of the modern age....
I love this song so much.....it touches my heart every time I hear it.

GOD BLESS YOU. I speak for every officer who has ever needed an angel during their shift.

I hear some Glenn Campbell in this song. Did he inspire your singing and song arrangements?
Is Peter's part that he is referencing out there somewhere?
A favorite for years.
