Day 102: April 12: That Lonesome Road
"If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart I'd not be on this road tonight."
Beautiful a capella song that closes out the Dad Loves His Work album. It expresses regret and the consequences of not giving peace a chance. I think this is a common last song in the set song at his concerts.
These songs remind me of each other although I suspect they were both inspired by an old folk standard called "The Lonesome Valley" (Wikipedia claims that this one steals it's chorus) which would explain it. This is a bit cheesy and has that "surprise ending" like Wink Martindale's "Deck of Cards" - ...I know, I was that soldier. Even so, it makes me happy.
