Heard this on the Stephen Fry America program recently - normally I don't like country music but this is nice.
Search says it hasn't been posted before even though it's had a half million views on UTube. Enjoy :)

He looks a bit like Jon Voight in Midnight Cowboy on that vid.

Contains one of my favourite lyrics;
"...and I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time."
Class.

It's a nice, clearn sounding guitar break.
Good choice of tune - have you heard his new stuff? He's done an album of covers from the likes of the Foo Fighters and the green day.
