    A friend of mine told me a great story about this song. A friend was sort of directionless and engaging in a rather sketchy partnership with a fellow he knew. They were playing fast and loose a bit and he was feeling a bit nervous about it. He got the JGB album and was listening to this song. The part that said "I heard a voice telling me to flee, the very same voice I always believe. Said a lot of trouble's coming, but it don't have to come to you" spoke to him. He told his buddy he was pulling out and he could have it all and left the area and went back and got his degree. Later on his former partner got caught and a lot of trouble came to him, but the song saved my friend.

      @adamcrary1602 Рік тому +1

      That is most certainly screenshot worthy wisdom. Getting so wrapped up in any situation that we forget to listen to , or drown out, that inner voice/ instinct/ gut feeling/ voice of God is a dangerous way to go about living. We love Jerry for a myriad of reasons and in no small part for the way he delivered the wisdom that Hunter had the gift to take from so many others and put down in a way that it comes across like shining diamonds of clarity in the lines Jerry sings. Anybody that’s ever listened carefully is better for it , and i have no doubt the songs helped many people avoid any number of treacherous paths and people. And this will be true for generations to come.🙏

      Donna Jean in one version kind of mockingly says "This is a true Story"
      I've always considered the song a bit blasphemous in Jerry's/ Hunter's intent in writing it. Sorta highlighting an unbelievable and supernatural cautionary tale from the Bible. Idk just my interpretation
