Old skinny Dennis in this song was my brother. He's been dead for over 40 years now. My folks and I got such a kick out of listening to this song. RIP Guy Clark.
Never listened to Guy Clark or Jerry Jeff Walker. I feel like I just discovered a secret room. Great voice.
Woke up to a beautiful day in Los Angeles, as I'm drinking my coffee, I turn to the Obits in the morning paper and read the tragic news about one of my favorite songwriters. So long, Guy. May your next journey be as productive and as full of life and music as your earthly one was. Requiescat in pace
Steve Roberts
What an amazing life, R.I.P..
This song never fails to give me chills. Guy Clark is one of the best poets of the last two centuries.
Me too. It is the song of my BFF and me at 18, may she rest in peace. Every time I play it, she rocks it with me.
Guy Clark, Townes, these guys are forever
I love this song, I watch it daily, it’s a masterpiece by one of the best musicians ever. 💖
God Bless Austin City Limits for hosting Guy Clark and other great artists that don't ever get the air time they deserve.
I was a songwriter in Nashville in the early 1980s. Use to go to Guy's local concerts, very intimate club called the Log Cabin. Shook his hand a few times. I have a cover of this tune. One of my mentors in more ways than one! RIP to one of the great Bards of our time.
Love this arrangement with the string accompaniment. Outstanding.
How can it be that it is 12 years, twelve reproducing years, since anyone has posted a comment on this track? Guy Clarke was a singer songwriter of genius, and these live sessions are some of the best recordings of his songs. Someone tell me I'm not the only one that appreciates genuine talent.
Masterpiece.
I never "felt" this song until I heard Guy sing it while I was living in Dallas of all places. "adios to all this concrete, gotta find me some dirt road backstreets" made me want to go home to rural Arkansas so bad.
What could be better than this? 100% honest. Totally real.
Townes van zandt, but that’s just my opinion. Music is subjective. It all depends on how music resonates with the listener.
"Love's a gift that's surely hand made".
Thanks for all the love. RIP, Guy.
Between this guy, Jerry Jeff, Townes, and Rodney Crowell Houston was home to some of the greatest singer song writers of the second half of the last century. Guy takes a back seat to no one.
I can still remember the first time I heard this song (by Jerry Jeff I think) it was at a friends house in Calgary, Canada, maybe 1977. It's still as fresh as it was back then. A good song, is a good song. To put in in perspective, I've forgotten thousands of new country songs. Thanks Guy.
first time I saw Guy do this was in '85,the hair stood up on the back of my neck.Its the most hauntingly beautiful song I had ever heard
DITTO!
R.I.P. Guy. You were a huge influence in my life, your music brought me joy and enriched my life beyond measure.
My heart breaks.
amazing what Stuart and Edgar add to a great song.
I'll never forget driving out of LA during rush hour traffic, playing this song over and over and over.....RIP Guy, I love your music!
This is one of the few songs that gets me teary too. The line that does it for me is 'Here's to you old skinny Denis'.
One of his masterpiece... From France.
RIP Guy Clark a true craftsman of songs.
We miss you Guy. Excellence personified.
Ride that train, desperado. Say howdy to Townes, JJ,
Johnny, Hoyt and the rest. We'll miss you.
Gil T. Mann no lie !!! 🇺🇸⚓️ you hit them
i grew up in the Texas hill country, a child of the 70s, when music was the best, real folkd, country, American, roots rock, Guy right there with it, Steve Earle cutting his teeth on it, those days are sorely missed now by this MN resident. God bless Guy and a the peace of glory for his beloved girl.
Guy Clark & Merle Haggard died within a few weeks of each other, two great Songwriters and Icons. The year also took away so many other icons from all genres of music and walks of life, including the worlds Poet Laureate, Leonard Cohen. The "Tower of Song", has reached newer heights and more melodic over the last 2 yrs. They have all passed on to a new plane of existence, but have left one hell of a lot of beautiful memories, that all true music fans will continue to cherish. There are so many to mention, that I won't even try, but the worlds music is far better for what they left behind. To mention a few that were musical genres unto themselves David Bowie, Prince, and Glen Frey plus the above mentioned, and a host of others. May they all RIP. Peace.
Well said.
Sanity in the middle of a State that I Love. Lets keep our beautiful country green for my and our grandchildren. 'God Bless' as the great and late Red Skelton used to say.
What a gem Guy was. I wonder if he ever thought about what a positive influence he was on so many people lives?
Rest In Peace Guy, I’ve been listening to you my entire life, and your music will always be a piece of me. Thank you Cowboy.
Sadly I never heard of some these artists that have passed tin 2020. John Prime was another one. One thing Covid did was stick before my computer and I watched TH-cam all the time. I like the side bar where I met a great deal of lovely folks singing their hearts out.
came bye to pay my respects...class..
Great version of a great song. I've been playing it forever. I think I may have been doing it before it was copywritten. I have known and watched Guy since Sand Mountain on Richmond. My old friend Harriet played with his wife Suzanne in a group when both were still in high school. It was made to be duo-ed with a fiddle.
Sang this song to myself many times when I left Great Britain for two years to live in Kenya. Some times it helped me through tough times.
Have to agree--this is the BEST version of this wonderful song
"Down the road in a cloud of smoke, to a land I aint bought."
See you on the other side.
RIP guy, you'll be missed all over the world ...this one is from Paris...
On the train going to work when I read the sad news in the paper. Took out my trusty flask I always have tucked in my backpack and snuck a quick shot courtesy of Mr. Beam in honor of Mr. Clark….
Sad day today. Listening to Guy for so long and now he is gone. RIP Guy.
Down that road in a cloud of smoke " GCC RIP
Up where you can keep an eye on Townes.
ART WILMETH
I am forever drawn to this haunting song . .like memories of a long lost love . . .
Guy, Edgar and Stuart.....totally SUBLIME!
Clark is a masterful songwriter. Thanks for posting.
Rest in peace, Guy Clark. "If I can just get off of this LA freeway, Without getting killed or caught . . ."
These guys, Guy Clark makes me cry, and the fiddle player, isn't he fab?
One sad individual is lacking a soul and voted to dislike.
Great version, best I've heard.
RIP Guy Clark :(
Legend. RIP
I've been hoping for one song on youtube, just one friggin' song, that did not have even one thumbs down. If this version of Guy's best song can't even be immune to the thumbs down, then nothing ever will.
Rest In Peace and thank you for all the good music.
I`ve been watchin Guy Clark videos here on youtube, the man is an incredible songwriter & musician. I recently bought Heartworn highways which introduced me to Guy`s music more..
Thanks for sharing this..

You were the man. In all my travels across Texas somehow I never ran into you - but I will miss you.
Guy Clark....kings of all things cool.
I miss this man. What a legend.
Its a sad sad day. I feel like lost a friend
God Speed Guy Clark and thanks for all you left us.
Chapman ranch road 1978 , jamming Jerry Jeff sing Guy Clark songs , got me thru some bad patches , RIP Guy
an incredible song. an LA lament
Rest in Peace.
This is one of my favorite Guy Clark songs....I perform it at open-mic nights in a few pubs around the Houston area. I change the words in the chorus "...without getting killed or caught" to "...without getting stoned and lost", everybody around Houston gets it as the freeways are SO BAD that many resort to getting stoned....and, probably, lost.
Guy is one of our Folk music heroes, sort of a cross between Jimmy Buffett and Lyle Lovett, but with an originality all his own.
Cheers! YD!
C
Another great passes..
Guy Clark!
Just like Guy, Stewart Duncan has no peers! What an incredible song!
Love the songs and the man
I grew up in the country and now live in town. this song makes me want to do that. I hate driving the so cal freeways. Too many people too damn close to each other.
I can sure ID w/this song. In the Navy we rented from the gvmt 3 different homes on freeway right of ways. Norwalk, Compton and Long Beach. I got out in '67 so we could skadaddle to Seattle up that road in a cloud of smoke.
Guy Clark>most anyone!

Love that line at the end. Lovely little honky tonk, I don't know how to act.
There's probably a song just in that line alone.
Really nice. As much as I love JJW's version, this is as good as it gets. Perhaps because Guy wrote it.
Très belle chanson de route ! From France ).
Glad the Highwaymen covered Guy,or I probly never woulda' heard 'em.Good stuff.
Audious !!!
🎼⭐️⭐️
Rip Guy Clark
