You're welcome. Lyrics--that's why I posted. I'm a big fan of both RT and Buddy & Julie Miller.

(9,674 posts)1. RT has got to be the most underrated songwriter/musician/performer out there.
I've been following him since the Fairport Convention days. About 15 years ago, he came through our town and played most of the songs that were released on the disc that Keep Your Distance is on. Easily it was one of the top 5 best concerts I've ever seen.
Thanks for the post and in these times, the very appropriate song.

RT's songwriting is at the top of my charts. His album with Linda "Shoot Out the Lights" has to be one of the best rock albums of all time.

I just listened to the Miller's version. Very nice too!
I enjoyed both versions.
