It actually is sad but true. Turns out I never cared for the lyrics, that's why I probably didn't like the song.
There are lots of others I'd rather dig, namely:
- Sittin' In The Balcony
- They Were Right
- Yearbook
- This Cold War With You
- Blue Train
- Language Of Love
- Jimmie's Song
- What Would You Take For Me?
- The Great Snowman
- Everybody Knows
- Song Of The Lonely Teen
- The Rocks Of Reno
- You Just Reap What You Sow
- The Little Wind-Up Doll
- Two Strangers In Love
- Th' Wife
- Bad News
- Oh How Sad
- It's My Time
- No Playing In The Snow Today
- The Little Grave
- Ma Baker's Little Acre
- Mary's No Longer Mine
- To Hell With Love
- The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian
- You're The Guilty One
- Where Have They Gone
- The Little Bird
- Brown Girl
- That Ain't All
And, of course "Tobacco Road"!
