Truly great song. Z is one of my musical gods; his final 3 albums ("Life'll Kill Ya;" "My Ride's Here;" and "The Wind") would make a career for most songwriters--they are all great.

Great stuff on his other albums, too.

Excitable Boy is my favorite.

I was, by coincidence, thinking of this song a few days ago. I notice that the Linda Ronstadt version changes the line from I from "I pawned my Smith-Corona" to "I pawned my Smith and Wesson."

I like Linda's version. I wonder who made that change.
