your cheatin heart yeah play me blue eyes cryin in the rain

Maybe one more round might help to ease the pain

Just love that!! A clever little irony and homage all wrapped in some sincere emotion. This is another A-1 production and song. Easier to say what's wrong (nothing) than what's right. It all works really well. Janice is always a great addition, and as good as the RTs are, some custom guitar always sweetens it just a bit more. As a bonus, I got to listen to "That Night", and "A perfect match" again. You had a great year Tom, and now you're opening up '16 on a great note!! Take care. Greg
Greg, That second verse shows the power of the rewrite. I really think that the magic in songwriting lies in the ability to put it away and then come back and take another look. Most of my rewrites have been very successful in making the song better. Thanks for your support, Tom

No, seriously, this is really nice. Great lyrics, and style. And Janice on harmonies, well, no wonder it's good.
Trevor, Thanks and yes Janice really adds a lot. It's not the same without her. Tom

HA! great line. The chorus is nicely structured...
"No forgiveness / or new beginnings / That’s it / we’re at the end "

Production is so nicely "crisp" start to finish. Steel work is superb!

Harmonies are perfect (of course).

Classic.

Thanks for the great review. I was trying to capture the time period that the incident took place. There was a little 10 seat bar five miles down the road from the farm where we lived that had the best jukebox in the world or at least in the county. I listened to many a Tear in your beer 45's there. Thanks again, Tom
