As a lyricist I cannot handle how incredible the lyrics are. How many references and layers there are tucked into each line. Truly, it's an experience. I have listened to this song well over 100 times and I still feel so awed, humbled and delighted when listening to it. What a gift this man is.

The first 5 to 7 years of the Ritter music and lyrics is nothing short of phenomenal. Brings to mind the early Dylan days and how he has said those songs wrote themselves like they came down from above

I just realized today that the line is "our love would live a half-life on the surface" which is so crazy good

Never get tired of this one. It's painful how good it is.

Best love song ever written.

This song kills me every time. Songwriting on another level.

Josh Ritter has told SO MANY POTATO STORIES over the years. I've heard at least three variations personally, bless him.

Some of the best lyrics ever written

The storytelling and the way he follows the metaphors is just amazing

Not gonna lie, first time I played this song for my wife, she thought he said "I think about that great big butt, and I tapped it."

That devastating ending!

Underrated comment! He's a devastating lyricist.

Wow. Great song lyrics. First I’m hearing him. Love him!

The first potato story I heard was several minutes long and very intricate. What a character.

Phukin A. This song is amazing.

This song radiates love....thanks for posting

Amazing! Thank you for posting!

An all-time favorite. Thank you for posting it!!

I'm only after finding out about Josh this week. I heard his music and loved it but never found out until recently. Googling different lyrics but it didn't work until I got lucky going through Spotify! Thanks very much for the upload

That one person who disliked this needs a smack upside the head to knock some sense into them.

wow this song is food !

Just a point I want to make...if you dislike this you're a sociopath. Seek help. I'm not even joking.
