There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all our money goes
Jesus Christ died for all our sins, dontcha' know....
My roomie and I would spend hours listening to John Prine and Jerry Jeff Walker. They were a couple of great folk/country/rock poets.
For both of these guys, if you're going to buy any of their music I would recommend starting with their oldest stuff. As their careers progressed, I felt that they lost the "edginess" evident in their early stuff.
