This is a song of mine that I wrote inspired by singing
"Angel from Montgomery" every night.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Every night since I met John Prine back in 1971
and we became as tight as Becky and Tom Sawyer
for...
Just thought we would be sailing off into our elder years.
And, sadly, when we lost John, it just pierced me so deep.
I put the music to this song that I had started
to play for John.
And then he passed, and I put the words with the music
listening to him in my heart and soul.
This is for John.
