Love that song.

So I will list some of my favorites;

A Boy Named Sue- Johnny Cash

El Paso- Marty Robbins

Delta Dawn- Tanya Tucker

The Ballad Of Ira Hayes- Johnny Cash

Big Bad John- Jimmy Dean

How Can I Help You Say Goodbye- Patty Loveless

As much as it pains me to type these words: I agree with EricIdlefan. Harry Chapin's Cats In The Cradle is my favorite.

Penny Lane · 02-19-2004, 12:57 PM

The Ballad Of John And Yoko-The Beatles

Tuesday Weld · 02-19-2004, 01:07 PM

I'm sure there are others, but these are what I thought of first.
