Alright I've recently come to respect the lyricism of this song after never quite getting the hype but this song just made me cry and crushed my soul after I truly realized how cruel it was. The man you become betrays the man you dreamed of being and it never mattered in the first place cause the world was always going to crush you and the lackadaisical melody underpins the pointlessness of your struggle by not even acknowledging its importance.
Yeah Townes Van Zandt is even greater than I had realized.
