For what it's worth, while I was reading the lyric, I wasn't thinking country. I was reminded of the Beatles' "the fool on the hill" and felt the emotional tug of the song in a similar way. This reminds me of subject matter that someone like Tom Waits could cover, too.

I think this one's terrific - along the same caliber as Lennon/McCartney songwriting. I'd like to see this one entered in the JP Folks lyrics contest too. Remember, great songs don't always get airplay.
