Foolish Optimism

Got a song in my heart and wings on my soul. Oh wait, that's the cafine buzz. Yet, to my surprise I found myself humming Steve Earle's 'Guitar Town' on my way to work.
Nothin’ ever happened ’round my hometown
And I ain’t the kind to just hang around
But I heard someone callin’ my name one day
And I followed that voice down the lost highway
Everybody told me you can’t get far
On thirty-seven dollars and a jap guitar
Now I’m smokin’ into texas with the hammer down
And a rockin’ little combo from the guitar town


Oddly enough the version I was humming wasn't Skinny Steve's but the Emmy Lou Harris take on it from her 'Live at the Ryman' album.
