I got my first Lyle Lovett CD at Goodwill last year and this song is on it. I've been watching for more ever since. How did I go so long without knowing the magic of Lyle?
We love Lyle Lovett! Our new series "On the Rogue" just launched Episode 1 with Ginger Leigh interviewing Lyle at Gruene Hall in Gruene, Texas. th-cam.com/video/aoYw5a5q-dI/w-d-xo.html. Please subscribe for more!
Lyle is such a phenominal artist & writer, this song for example. I have been a fan for about 10 yrs, and still discover work 's this man has done that totally kills you, (in a good way). What prompted me to get on here and coment, was that I noticed while listening to this piece of excellence, that it has only been viewed 3,539 times??? This is an abomination.
I only knew the name Lyle Lovett but I'd never heard him until my new (then) boyfriend sent me a video to listen to "Here I Am" and I listened and had no idea what to make of it or him, but he grew on me....
@AmazingAlixAvien......Well......ya see....BEFORE he had his "large band"......he only had large hair to rely on! OUTSTANDING ARTIST......In my view the message is "all is not what it seems"...."the grass is always greener"....not everyone who appears successful is happy"....and happiness is the true & lasting success....SO...."careful what you wish for"
Master of timing. I think he would have been great with TVZ. I dont think they played together if so PLEASE upload if you have it. Too all the negative comments here and else were dont you have something better to do? Really!
@clintonious I just start discovering Lyle Lovett and this phrase of you: "I was so taken by the whole show I started feeling weird, like I was gonna cry or something." is very recognisable to me. Kinda weird..but Lyle lovett is like a band aid to a bleedin' soul
@bambam691964 lol I hear ya. I've seen him twice as well at a casino near my home. The first time I saw him I was so taken by the whole show I started feeling weird, like I was gonna cry or something. lol I been around the block myself, I've even played on the grand ole opry with ricky skaggs as you can see if you watch the video on my youtube channel. I've share the stage with many greats but no ones performance has ever brought me as much joy as I've recieved watching his show...imma dork lol
@bambam691964 I'll echo y'alls remarks about Lyle. Always enjoy listening to his work. Another artist who has a "homey" sort of delivery, but quite different style, is Leo Kottke. See him play, too, if you ever have a chance.
I love this song, but anyone have the lead in that people are laughing at? I remember the first time I saw this on ACL and the joke... just wanted to hear him tell it again.
@enndubful He's leaving out the word for backside and letting the listener fill in the blank. "See that boy with that guitar, he's got a little round (bottom) like I always wanted. ... Sister look at me again. You'd love me if that were my rear end."
Just fell in love with another one of his songs!
So lovely...exquisite guitar playing...magical...
Anyone here still? 🎉🎉🎉
See that boy with that guitar...he can write songs like I always wanted (to)
Loved your music for years. Thank you ❤️

Qui e' davvero grande .... la piu' bella e profonda di Lyle Lovett ...
What I love about this song is that it makes you think it's a love song/ballad until the end..
What a song ❤
This guy is so good!
Man. back in the 80's we called him Rooster Man, Just love his songs....Thank you Lyle.

Love this song, fine guitar playing.🎶🎸
This, and On My Pony On My Boat are my two favorites.
Magical
Love it!
great song, from one of my faorite CDs, "I Love Everybody" one of those rare pieces of music where EVERY song is a keeper, every single one.
I am just discovering Lyle's music, and his songs make me laugh, although I am not really into country music. But if it's good, it's good!
Why was this not a major hit?
LOVE IT ALL OVER!
So incredibly amazing
What an amazing song
Lyle is such a phenominal artist & writer, this song for example. I have been a fan for about 10 yrs, and still discover work 's this man has done that totally kills you, (in a good way).

I agree, this is real music and it doesn't seem like anyone even knows about it.
I like this song. And I think he looks great
I only knew the name Lyle Lovett but I'd never heard him until my new (then) boyfriend sent me a video to listen to "Here I Am" and I listened and had no idea what to make of it or him, but he grew on me....
I love your mix! It's a lot like a couple of mine - many of my favorite songs. Thank you.
one of his best.
WOW, WOW!!!! Old Hippie Cape Town.
I love it!
I have to listen to his music with my eyes closed since he is so hard on the eyes.
If you like this one, listen to "Creeps Like Me"
Lyle is great and he's had some pretty good looking girls in his car too!
he`s one of the best!
Well its at over 57, 000 now so that's so cool!
An American treasure!
Beauty is on the eyes of the beholder. I'm my eyes they don't get any finer than LL. That's right you're not from Texas ........
I never heard him sing before he is awesome!!!
I love you just as you are
Lyle Lovett is unique, I love this style. I love your not from Texas and Church best by him
Lyle
Saw him at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen long time ago
Yea
great mix of gravity and levity
When and where was this recorded. I've missed a lot of LL-records, but this song is my favourite LL-song. Fantastic to see a live version.
The Frank Zappa of country music.
Thank you for that description. I just discovered his music and I was trying to describe it to my husband. You hit the nail on the head.
Holy shit. Perfect. TY.
song about accusing someone of being shallow
people still don't get or haven't discovered 'the lovett'...
Awesome hair
i want those hairs! ;)
He'll no. This mans a genius song writer.
@AmazingAlixAvien......Well......ya see....BEFORE he had his "large band"......he only had large hair to rely on!
OUTSTANDING ARTIST......In my view the message is "all is not what it seems"...."the grass is always greener"....not everyone who appears successful is happy"....and happiness is the true & lasting success....SO...."careful what you wish for"
That crisp clear tonal mellow sound?... Courtesy of a vintage 1930's Martin acoustic guitar.
Master of timing.

is very recognisable to me.
Kinda weird..but Lyle lovett is like a band aid to a bleedin' soul
Out of my way rooster boy
Do you have the rest of this Austin City Limits show? I had this on videocassette in the early 90's and watched it constantly.
@bambam691964 lol I hear ya. I've seen him twice as well at a casino near my home.

lol... I guess he was going for that Rooster look, well he nailed it
Morrison64
you obviously have the gift of persuasion. >LOL. You're the man. :) :) Do you have a video? LOL sign me up for 20 copies.
I don't understand the little round verse. Can somebody clue me in?
instead of saying ass or butt..
And it's hilariously honest.
I love this song, but anyone have the lead in that people are laughing at? I remember the first time I saw this on ACL and the joke... just wanted to hear him tell it again.
3 years late, but...they're laughing because he says she'd love him if he had a nice butt. ;)
@enndubful
He's leaving out the word for backside and letting the listener fill in the blank.
"See that boy with that guitar, he's got a little round (bottom) like I always wanted. ...
Sister look at me again. You'd love me if that were my rear end."
His monolithic hairdo at that time could have given Tom Waits a run for his money...
I didn't know Marty McFly could sing!
Rooster boy
I think he's singing about himself.
@Morrison64 Still probably gets more action then you.
I adore Lyle Lovett, always have, always will.... skinny legs like I always wanted, A little round #, like I always wanted!!!!
"Japanese girl" 🙄👌🏿
Lyle Lovett is unique, I love this style. I love your not from Texas and Church best by him
