Happy belated! And it makes for a good tune - loved the vocal on this, and the pedal steel on this is outstanding too. Top notch work on the mix as well, it sounds like it'd be ready for radio play. Thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Touching lyrics, warm and relaxed production. Great vocals interpret the melancholy very emotionally. Enjoyable guitar playing.

Hi Guys and Happy Birthday, with many returns.
Loved the song.
Always superbly written and always with that signature vocal, plus cool backing vocals.
Great band, great structure, great mix and as fully professional as ever.
I'm not even going to mention the lack of a solo......
ROG.
ROG - thanks for stopping by...and for the fine comments...and for not mentioning a solo...  Happy birthday, floyd and Tom!! Beautifully done. Yours & Janice's vocals and that pedal steel bring this song to a soaring height. So well done. Inspiring. Thanks, Marty! Hi Floyd et al
Many happy returns, Floyd and Tom. What a wonderful collaboration to mark the occasion. Excellent writing, the usual high quality vocals and the pedal steel is the icing on the birthday cake.
Regards,
Leon Always pleased to see you drop by for a listen, Leon!..

Hi Floyd, Tom and Janice.
In this song, all is there where it has to be.
Nothing is superfluous and it's a real pleasure to feel the essence of lyrics, music and voices. Christian

Happy birthday Floyd, Happy Birthday Tom!
I knew this would be good when I saw the players - this is really top notch. Could have come straight off an album made in Nashville if you ask me - it's got that classic sound. Great work by Floyd, Tom, Janice and Bud. Really digging it at the 2:18 mark.
P.S. - I've been a Tom Adams fan for a couple years on SoundCloud - gotta love those sweet guitar sounds. Ed - that is really nice of you to say. We ALL appreciate those nice comments... Happy birthday gentlemen!
Tom, Floyd, Janice and Bud, individually you always give us top notch air play ready songs that we all enjoy. But together you are dynamite!
This is pro all the way. The vocals, steel guitar, harmonies, lyrics, well everything is perfect. Mario - Thanks! - as always...

This is my second comment on this thread - I never comment twice, but this song deserves it. I just wish to add two quick things:
a) I can't stop listening to it; and
b) this may sound kinda strange, but, for what it's worth, I wish I wrote this myself :-)
Hats off, Janice, Tom, Floyd ... everyone involved with this. A classic. The emotional being that I am, I don't mind saying I've blamed a few onions for my emotional reaction on listening to this one, a couple of times :-) All that remains to say is that I wish myself luck, now, on trying to write anything at all ... what does one write after something like this? This, as far as I'm concerned at least, says it all for me - it both closes a door for me (in the sense that I realise what standard I have to at least try to meet if I am to write something new) and it opens a door (because it inspires me immensely, even if I don't yet put a word or note down). I know it may sound like gushing praise or whatever, but I mean every word. Congratulations.

Floyd and Tom (and Janice),
Love the acoustic guitar work in this—resonates through the mix. And Janice’s harmonies are so sweet behind Floyd’s strong vocal. Nice listen. And Happy Birthday to the both of you!
All the best,
Deej Thanks, Deej. floyd, Tom & Janice
First happy birthday(s).
Has it all- excellent lyrics, production, mix lead vocal, superb harmony and wonderful guitars.
Top notch collaboration (not unexpected) and a top notch song.
Peter Peter - thanks for the nice review... appreciated... Top shelf, top flight, top stuff!
Tres cool - the added humans REALLY make it fabulous.
Well done team.
If sincerity were a VST you'd be Waves' biggest seller.
I enjoyed this very much, thank you. - I like that review, ray!!....

FJ, Tom, Janice.
Great team work! Listens very well. Gave it two spins, did not get boring, means heart was put into it. Composition / Vocals top level. I wish Janice would be a little louder at some parts. Loved the pedal steel. Thank you for sharing.
Happy belated birthday and keep up excellent tradition!
Misha.

Floyd / Tom,
Happy Birthday to you both.
This is by far my favorite from the two of you... Beautiful work.
"should i look for work today
or just get by on what i got
should i fix that silverado
or just let the damn thing rot"
Amazing...
Bob Thanks, Bob! Ok, how do I comment on this? This is amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing. Beautiful, tender and, above all, communicative. The lyrics are heartbreaking, sincere and go straight for and to the heart. The musical line is genius, because (amongst other things) it tells a story. It amplifies the lyrics and doesn't get in their way because it's so deceptively simple and sung as if by someone who's seen a hundred thousand heartbreaks in their lifetime. I can't praise this enough. Well done to all concerned and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to both Tom and floyd ... you both deserve it so much after this kinda effort. Janice harmonises seamlessly with the singing line.
One of my all time favourites from this forum - be proud of this one!!! Wow, James. That is quite a nice review!! Thanks so much for all of that!!!

Lyrics are king here, but it's not like the arrangement, singing or harmony are serfs. I love the build, both musically as you add instruments, and lyrically as the song slowly zooms in from general indecision to the relationship. Thanks for the birthday present! Sorry I was late to the party!

"...corralling, cajoling" HaHaHa When my (Janice's) sister heard this song at the line, "should I tell you that I love you or just keep it to myself" she smiled and yelled "TELL ME!" I guess you could say she liked this one a bunch. I loved singing on this and especially being part of the birthday song again for my two musical brothers. Bud said that as always this song is full of writing and production goodness! Another gem. We very much enjoy it! J&B
