I was recommended this song, not bad but I can't figure out if it wants to be a lifehouse or willie nelson song. Again not bad but its not like anything I've heard before.

I live in North Texas not in the panhandle but also not too far from it and that line "Makes you wonder why they stopped here" gets me every time.

I was working overseas on a military base and IT friend did me up a 500 gig hard drive loaded with music and books. Among them was St. Mary Of The Woods . I haven't looked back. I'll go o see him in Austin before we die. Also discovered The Bottlerockets . Similar . Excellent songwriting with a Zeppelin edge. Or Conway Twitty....

I remember reading somewhere an anecdote that James wrote this song about another west Texas town, but referred to it as Levelland because it fit the meter he was going for. I can't seem to find anything about it now. Does anyone know about this?

This one hits home. I lived in Levelland as a kid before my family moved to Dallas. My aunt had a house near the high school where you could always hear the marching band practicing. I lived outside of Levelland where it actually looked like what you see in the video vs what you saw in town. I used to sneak out and go running around in the dust storms.

"Don't open my eyes to nothin' like truth. Just leave it all lost in the wind let it hide in the blindness of youth" This song is unreal. The only song keeping me sane. It expresses my crazed and delusional mind in a perfect way.

Heard this song first when I was out at SPC for college. My grandparents lived there so it was easy t lo go to school there. I ran those back dirt roads in my old truck and I can tell you exactly where that old gin is towards the end of the video. Still know the folks that live there, matter of fact. Ain't a single bit of a lie in this song and as soon as we cld, hubs and I left Levelland.

James McMurtry is one of the most savage and brutally honest artists ever, which is very uncomfortable for a lot of people, but immensely satisfying to those with the nerve to hear what he is saying. He should be a household name, but that's not how this shit works......

Annoyed that it cuts off the instrumental coda. There's a brief shot of a guy in a marching band outfit, and I'm pretty sure that producer Don Dixon played trombone in his HS marching band, as he's played trombone in other of his productions.
