Can't believe I'm 71 years old, had never heard of John until that dam corona virus took his life. Listening to his music has made it alot easier to cope with these bad times. I guarantee you I am now a fan for the rest of my life! Thanks John Prine, REST IN PEACE!

I'm in the same boat. I'm almost 60 and I fund out who he was after a buddy of mine posted a video of The Zac Brown Band doing their version of this song. Both are very different from each, but both great in their right. John was an amazing talent and was kind enough to leave us all here his great legacy of songs. I would've loved to have been at this performance.

Fiona you're a very lucky girl. Tell Billy Dennis loves y'all. He'll be confused. We used to drink coffee Sunday nights. It's cool.

It's been nearly 20 years....I had just separated from my wife, we were in the process of the whole divorce, and I bought myself a ticket to see John in Madison WI. I sat there listening to this song and it reminded me that someday I'd get over the pain and wish my ex the best. It took a lot of years, but I do wish her the best now.

Just saw that he was infected with Covid-19. I was not familiar with his work before tonight. My brother has always been a huge fan, and I can say that I am too. Please get better John, we need you.

...I knew love, love knew me and when I walked love walked with me...well I got no hate and I got no pride, but I got so much love that I cannot hide... True lyrics Mr. Prine. Thank you.

Just heard the news. It's a sad morning. God Speed John, you were the best.

RIP john. Youre singing with the angels now.

This song got me through one of the most difficult times in my life. I’m praying for you John. You mean so much to so many. Hell, my 8 year old daughter is a fan of you.

Beyond brilliant! Absolutely captures that mix of resentment and reluctant goodwill that follows a sad ending. The ironies are beautiful conveyed--lyrics, tune and voice.

RIP John you will be truly missed.

one of my all-time favorites. Miss you John. gosh you were great.

John Prine will always be pne of the greatest!

45 years of being a fan, songs that I felt and still feel. Thanks for touching my soul with your gold. Love you and will miss you. Heaven will be a better place. I will see you some day.

@@estilglea In Prine's case, I doubt it. He'd just completed several shows overseas at a time when the Covid-19 virus had spread - both his wife and then John came down with the virus after they got back to the U.S. When we hurt or we're mad, we naturally want to blame someone, but in this case, we can blame the damn virus.

We are in Lock down here in South Africa .... No problem got the net and one of my favorite musicians online ... Rest well Mr Prime your are one of the best ....

This is from John's LP "The Missing Years" that came out about 1991. ALL THE SONGS GROW ON YOU LIKE CRAZY. He has a bunch of guest writers and players too. John's a Chicago boy (like me).

Thank-you John Prine! I’m loving listening to every song available that you’ve done over the years in anticipation and excitement getting ready to actually get to see you LIVE at Red Rocks in July! Good luck on the tour.....see you soon!

Just wrote this for John Prine. I call it: Just for John. I guess you gone And that you had to leave Like the rain that falls down With the Autumn leaves And that rain As it hits the dirt Can it quench this flame? Wash away the hurt? Well I'm not sure Just how things go Absurd how we run When we can't touch our toes But it's common sense I mean it just seems fair That no one should do What they cannot bear And tonight you're free And tonight I cry You left me standing Like I don't know why Yes here I stand Although I'm on my knees Out in the rain On the Autumn leaves Where the rain does fall Relentlessly And tonight I cry And tonight you're free And it ain't just But it's just like you To go and leave Before you're time is through Well I do hope You make it home And that you get as far away From all alone That you find some peace That you find some rest You flew the coop I hope you find a nest What you did No one could do There will never be No one like you And tonight you're free Tonight I cry You left me standing Like I don't know why.
