I love the 'almost silent ghost harmonies! Very subtle❤

Thank you so so much from the bottom of my little ol peapickin' heart, Mr. Hiatt, for this gem of a song and indeed your entire complete wonderful profound discography...my daughter are closer because of you...her favorite songs are "Everybody Went Low", "Tennessee Plates", and "Honey I Don't Wanna Leave You Now..." but she loves them all. My Uncle Kyle Yule, a bullfighter par excellence extraordinaire introduced me and my cousins to you on a cold and wintry night loljk. Lbvs you are one of the reasons I keep going. Thank you for all you do, Mr. Hiatt, and God bless YOU <3 <3 <3 PS: You really are the bee's knees and I just love you...<3 Keep Riding, King!! <3

Un genio!!

Очень!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1, 5, 2, 3m. (F, C, G, am)

Which breakfast show would allow the word "bastard"? A grown up cool one!! The genuis of Hiatts lyrics! Pete Woodroffe Music

That is a very deep breath at first.

Name a song that bring the house down and you to tears. I can play this roll till my fingers bleed!

I get tangled in my telecaster sometimes. Great artist!

I see 11 people don't know GOOD music when they hear it. Dolts.

Those lyrics cut to the bone. Saw him this year accoustic. 'There's a debt I owe, I'll never pay before I go...' Honest songwriting, emotional singing and playing. A true Master of the 'Caster.

Brilliant Man! Saw him in Chinatown (L.A. '79) Madame Wongs to be exact chasing those dragons down.

great song, great craft!

Man thanks, I just had the greatest fun playing along with this song. I will learn this one!

John Hiatt and The Combo opened with this song last year at The Birchmere in Alexandria, Va. A great show as always .

i know right...i was very impressed at A & E

I saw him live back in August and it was amazing. he really knows how to put on a show.

Damn, I really tried, but this guy sucks! The Ace man steered me in the wrong direction this time...

I think maybe John Hiatt and Bob Dylan could make a good duet if they can harmonize well. What do you guys think?

I saw John and his backing band, the Combo, in Phoenix last Saturday night! One of the absolute, best performances I have ever seen! They opened with this song! Awesome!

To argue over John Hiatt is like arguing over who gets the first drink out of the river. Shut the Fuck UP!

Can't we just enjoy what John is and has been doing!...Without the crackhead musicians and the posers tearing it to shreds????????

@H0ly0uch I'm certainly not going to compare junkie street cred with you. Your 30 years obviously trumps my 10. However, even though you might not have heard the phrase used in reference to cocaine or methamphetamine, I have, and it was a commonly used term. Now, in this particular song, he could be referring to opium. He does mention china town, but he also mentions cocaine. Either way, it is still a good song, and we are arguing semantics.

@tristhan1181 I'm not sure where you're from, or when, but I'm almost 50 and in the late 70's, 80's and on into the 90's I snorted, and smoked, many an 8ball of coke. I can freebase coke with ammonia or baking soda and have NEVER heard of that (freebasing coke) being referred to as chasing the dragon down. The Cptn dude is right. "chasing the dragon" has always referred to opium because it was such a popular drug in china for so many centuries. Awesome song, album and artist BTW

@CptnBlues Chasing the dragon is a way to describe freebasing. You chase the smoke as crack, cocaine, meth burn.

Great album by the master..........Hiatt rules!!

This guy is a genius!

So sad that such a great musician has never been as known as he should

so real so good no production no engineeers guy and his guitar sweet

one of the best of alltime

@zacd14 There are just too many PC pricks these days who constantly censor out "bad words" for the sake of it

@apc467 woah man I was joking chill the fuck out

@zacd14 Cause most of us realise that this song is actually about something, and he isn' t "swearing" for the sake of it. If you can't appreciate the fact that "bad words" are the only suitable words for some situations then I just feel sorry for you. We all need to grow up and get past this pathitic political correctness concerning "bad words" Sure beep out swear words but every single one of us still knows what word is being used. Some people can't handle certian words which is just sad...

cool

how can he say bastard on a morning show.

terrible voice!

Great song. Great album. One of my favorites of many many hiatt favorites. And when you can write music like this, we'll just ignore that seersucker.... If the two johns would've been born one state down they'd be near-perfect men.

John Hiatt is my hero.

Seeing this at breakfast makes for a hell of a good day. Thanks nokeadisimo

That song reminds me on my trip to San Diego and all the nice people I met there. I miss you all... Great song, thank you!

maravilloso !

john you are the best man!!!! Thanks much for all your great music, God bless you

21 albums ! great song writer ! whats harumphful problem

Just because he's not Robert Plant or one of them young guys like whoever the taste of the month is this week, it doesn't mean he can't sing. I think for what he does, he does great. Of course, you aren't going to hear him do any U2 covers or whatever, so what do you expect?

damn near perfect - love this

Jeff Healey too. Love John Hiatt...

yeh it does

"...He should give his songs to a singer who can't write or play any instrument. ..." Got any idea how many people HAVE done his songs? Bob Dylan, Willy DeVille, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Jesse Brand, Three Dog Night, Joan Baez, Paula Abdul, Buddy Guy, the Desert Rose Band, Jimmy Buffett, Mandy Moore, Iggy Pop, Emmylou Harris, Kathy Chiavola, Rodney Crowell, Nick Lowe, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Rosanne Cash, Jewel, Aaron Neville and Keith Urban.
