Thanks for that great one Don and User98765! I think Jeff has the interpretation right. Tom was supposed to be coming to Calgary in May, but he has cancelled his show due to health reasons. I'd like to take this moment to wish Tom a speedy recovery and I'm looking for him to be up here again soon. Thanks Don for the terrific reaction.
vThanks for this request. Tom has a very unique story telling ability. To me, the song delves into the dichotomy of the sky and the mud as symbolic representations of the highs and lows of life. The sky represents hope, dreams, and aspirations, while the mud symbolizes the struggles, challenges, and setbacks we encounter along the way. And through the lyrics and the melody, Russell invites us to reflect on the complexities of our own existence. Thanks for the reaction Don and you did a reaction to a studio version of this song by Tom 4 years ago, your spreadsheet is mislabeled 🙂

Tom Russell is the best of the best!
can you do James mcmurtrys can't make it here anymore?
Great channel!
During a concert, Tom would do this one alone so Andrew could go grab a cigarette. Great singer/songwriter whose every song was like watching a movie.
Tom has a such a unique style and I love most every song he does. The first I ever heard was Tonight We Ride.
Great Song! Thanks. He and old Ian Tyson collaborated on some nice songs
I can't find a Johnny Cash rendition
