Just need to listen 2 more times (I know it's a stupid joke), but honestly this song is so beautifully sad and relatable as someone who has simply stopped having feelings for those I cared about at some time
Lyrics I slipped on her shoe, she was a perfect size seven I said "There's no smokin' in the store ma'am." She crossed her legs and then We made some small talk that's where it should have stopped She slipped me her number, I put it in my pocket My hand slipped up her skirt, everything slipped my mind In that little roadhouse On Highway 29 It was a small town bank it was a mess Well I had a gun you know the rest Money on the floorboards, shirt was covered in blood And she was cryin', me and her we headed south On Highway 29 In a little desert motel the air was hot and clean I slept the sleep of the dead, I didn't dream I woke in the morning, washed my face in the sink We headed out into the Sierra Madres 'cross the border line The winter sun shot through the black trees I thought it was all something in her But as we drove I knew it was something in me Something that'd been comin' for a long long time And something that was here with me now On Highway 29 The road was filled with broken glass and gasoline She wasn't sayin' nothin', it was just a dream The wind come silent through the windshield All I could see was snow, sky and pines I closed my eyes and I was runnin' I was runnin' then I was flyin'
Keith, I judge your talents to be professional status. Very complex and developed style you have for expressing the soul of a song. I hypothesize that we musicians and writers/singers, are gifted with abilities--deep compassion or empathy which might be more crucial. Well, my friend, you have it. Been a while since I found a musician accomplished as you, Dude. R
Have been a fan of both Bruce Springsteen and Gregory Alan Isakov for years, so this is heaven.
i just listened to this song 27 times in a row and i'm still crying.

There is something about Gregory’s music that breaks the heart.
so beautiful, it reminds me when I lived in Colorado... I miss those days!
Very nice cover of another brilliant song by, arguably, the world's greatest living songwriter. (IMO the others are McCartney and Dylan.)
Lyrics
I slipped on her shoe, she was a perfect size seven
I said "There's no smokin' in the store ma'am."
She crossed her legs and then
We made some small talk that's where it should have stopped
She slipped me her number, I put it in my pocket
My hand slipped up her skirt, everything slipped my mind
In that little roadhouse
On Highway 29
It was a small town bank it was a mess
Well I had a gun you know the rest
Money on the floorboards, shirt was covered in blood
And she was cryin', me and her we headed south
On Highway 29
In a little desert motel the air was hot and clean
I slept the sleep of the dead, I didn't dream
I woke in the morning, washed my face in the sink
We headed out into the Sierra Madres 'cross the border line
The winter sun shot through the black trees
I thought it was all something in her
But as we drove I knew it was something in me
Something that'd been comin' for a long long time
And something that was here with me now
On Highway 29
The road was filled with broken glass and gasoline
She wasn't sayin' nothin', it was just a dream
The wind come silent through the windshield
All I could see was snow, sky and pines
I closed my eyes and I was runnin'
I was runnin' then I was flyin'
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Simply beautiful 🎶❤️🌹🎶❤️🌹
Truly amazing
Nice one Gregory👍

I don't think Keith made this lmao
@@radiant9230 It is Gregory Alan Isakov. Google says so.
@@squeakeththewheel Bruce Springsteen's original song, GAI did an absolutely smashing cover though.
Authentic .
I wonder if Bruce did a video clip for this song !
I’d catch a bus down hw 29
Where is this recording from?
