Not only Gram Parsons but also Gene Clark, James Burton and Bernie Leadon. I was lucky to see Steve in concert in the 80s in Britain and he didn't need anyone backing him. Maybe equalled but never bettered.
Steve Young... I wish more people knew about this guy. Steve Earle, Guy Clark, Townes van Zandt... He's in the same class. Gram Parsons played on this record.
I used to see the birds fly So high in the sky I'd see the little birds fly And I'd wonder why Not one tear Not one mournful sigh Now when I die and I will see You can dig my grave shallow And not narrow and deep I'd lay on that hillside as time goes on I'll feel the south wind blowing As I go alone Well it's Codine, it's Codine I'd love you from old I heard more Codine than your silver And your gold It helped me when I was restless You know it helped me to grow old So give the stars to my mama And give the moon to my pa Give the road to my best friend When the wild geese howl Give love to my enemies Well give it all

Bloody awesome song!
Great song.
Wish the lyrics were published somewhere
I used to see the birds fly
So high in the sky
I'd see the little birds fly
And I'd wonder why
Not one tear
Not one mournful sigh
Now when I die and I will see
You can dig my grave shallow
And not narrow and deep
I'd lay on that hillside as time goes on
I'll feel the south wind blowing
As I go alone
Well it's Codine, it's Codine
I'd love you from old
I heard more Codine than your silver
And your gold
It helped me when I was restless
You know it helped me to grow old
So give the stars to my mama
And give the moon to my pa
Give the road to my best friend
When the wild geese howl
Give love to my enemies
Well give it all
