One of the most asked questions is "What's your favorite song?". For years I would say, "I don't really have a favorite song. I like all music." Then I realized that was a bold-faced lie. I love, have always loved, and will always love Guitar Town by Steve Earle. Yeah, yeah. I know... it's not the most popular song out there. And it's not the newest song out there. But it's a song that I have consistently said I loved since I was young.
Steve Earle came out with this song in 1986 on his album titled Guitar Town. I was 7 years old when I realized I loved this song. I loved the video. I remember getting really excited when I'd see it on CMT. The part I remembered most was him getting off the tour bus. And I thought... I want someone to take me to the Guitar Town.
Well nothing much has changed. I still want someone to take me back with them to the Guitar Town. I decided (finally) that this song was THE song just a few years ago. It was like a big slap in the face. "DUH!" I remember late nights coming home from the local pub, heading to McDonald's for a double cheeseburger with my girl, Crystal, and singing this song at the top of my lungs. It has to be, hands down, my favorite. And I'm leaving you with it...
