Tom,
There`s something so genuine in your lyrics- you could milk the regret here but don`t; love that opening verse!
The ringing guitar coming out of the chorus is sweet and the whole production a benchmark for everything done right... not bad for a guy with partial hearing loss!

Hello, Tom
Powerful country tune!
The melody of chorus clause is really good.
The Pedal Steel you play by yourself is so nice.
It's splendid that you can play pedal steel.
Super vocal and big drums!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Floyd's advice on bigger drums worked! They sound great in the mix. Good song overall too sir! I haven't listen to this yet, but had to stop in to say... Tom is the LAST person needing any advice on how to mix drums. His are ALWAYS mixed at a truly pro level. The best around. Thanks for having my back little bro! Always enjoy listening to your work, great track!
Thanks Dave, Your latest is extraordinary, Tom Tom is the LAST person needing any advice on how to mix drums. His are ALWAYS mixed at a truly pro level. LOL. Just having fun sir. Fun is a good thing!

Tom, when you sing we always feel that you are “the” person in the song. That you have lived the story - not that you are just relating it. Janice mentioned the word “conviction.” Yep. This is one of those few tunes that take you on a journey, albeit a vignette, of a person’s life that seems so remarkably real. It’s not the least bit contrived due in large part to your vocal and lyric. And there’s the always present high, very high, production values. And the vocal and instrumental never disappoint. Janice says she will have the melody in her head all day. And that’s a good thing she also said.  J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

I definitely really dig what you did with the mandolins! It gave this song a really neat sound, and it has that classic country twang!
Good job. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Ember

"She’s got first hand knowledge bout the way I used to be
It’s not her problem it’s my legacy"
"It’s almost like it happened to someone just like me"
Terrific lines. Excellent write throughout.
A typical Tom Adams tight production. Snappy drums. Sweet steel in all the right spots. Nice vocals and harmonies, sitting just right. Nice guitar touches.
Another in a long line of hits.

I like this a lot, Tommy! Nicely done. Paul, I'm really glad to see you come by. As I mentioned to you once before I was a big fan of your Uncle Tompall. Thanks for the nice words. Tom another one smack dab over the certer-field fence.
Nice work Tom Herb said it simply, and said it right!! LOVE THIS!!! Your lyrics are so natural. It is so hard to write in an original way with all of the millions of songs that have been written. But, you make it sound effortless Tom. This is another gem!! Take care. Greg Greg, Thanks for the great comments, Tom

Hi Tom,
I always thought that I favoured your blues side best, but this just blew me away.
What do you call this stuff? A country power ballad maybe?
Whatever, I loved the whole thing.
Super backing, perfect pedal steel and your vocals just keep getting better and better.
A classic.
ROG. Thanks ROG! I call this Appalachian Honky-Tonk. Some might say Alternative Country or Americana. Glad you liked it, Tom Tom
Liked everything about this, the composition, the lyric, the vocal and the sound - all incredibly professional. You have a knack of coming up with wonderfully accessible music.
Peter Peter, I appreciate your comments. That is a really nice thing to say, Tom

Another good ole' country song. Heartfelt and earthy. Good job! Donna, Love that description "Earthy". Thanks, Tom Another great song Tom! Every time I listen to your work it makes me realize how much I need to improve my own!! Your lyric in this super along with everything else.... mix, performance and final production! You are a pro! Thanks, Torrey Torrey, Glad you liked it. Big Thanks, Tom Tom, every time I see your name in the user showcase I get excited. I honestly can't find a weak link in anything you do on here. The lyrics, the melody, the phrasing, the overall feel, the production...and you have to be such a damn nice guy too! C'mon man! Be human, just once for us mortals.
I could listen to this song 1000 times and still want to hear it 1000 more. It's because it feels right to me. I love that in a song.
Nice Guy? That all depends on who you ask! Caaron, I appreciate all these wonderful comments, Thank You, Tom

Wow - you nailed this, Tom! It is perfectly catchy, and just a well written song. The mix sounds extremely professional, and I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I heard this on the radio. The mandolin was an excellent attribute. Great work, and thanks so much for sharing Deryk, Thank you for stopping by and commenting, Tom

Very good work on this one Tommy.
So melodic, top notch chord progression and the transition to the chorus is great.
