*First line is the artist name. 1982. This is actually a cover of a Rodney Crowell song. This Detroit born guy and his band, The Silver Bullets, had a hit with it. Glenn Frey provided background vocals. This is the only song for this artist that crossed over to the country chart. True story, my cat's name is mentionedi n the chorus and whenever this song came on the radio and he heard his name, his little head would spin around in confusion.
