lyrics

Should have married for money
Like any woman in her right mind would do
Instead I settled for love
And don’t you know that that’s the worst thing you can do

We fell short on rent
We fell short on good time
Now I got nothing to my name
His name that I took for mine

See I come from the country
From a family of status and pride
To counting tips in the city
As a low-class, working man’s bride

We fell short on rent
We fell short on good time
Now I got nothing to my name
His name that I took for mine

Now I’m back in the country
With what little is left of my prime
I got the ranch now I just need a cowboy
On that forty-ninth parallel line

Should have married for money
Like any woman in her right mind would do
Instead I settled for love
And don’t you know that that’s the worst thing you can do

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes

supported by 23 fans who also own “The Forty-Ninth Parallel”

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
