You know what I miss? Those early days in Texas, when I didn't know how much hate there was in the world.
Whenever I hear Jerry Jeff Walker I think of those more idyllic days of ignorance. London Homesick Blues, Night Rider's Lament, LA Freeway, those especially make me think of those days. There are, as always, more colorful songs which I don't associate with, but these I do. Can't say I listen to country music now, it just doesn't strike any chords with me (pun intended) and hasn't since I was, oh, 16 or 17. But those old songs I still love for their ability to remind me of those times, or at least what time and distance has turned them into in my mind.
