Poll question: Favorite Dwight Yoakum song

I just love the guy. The Elvis Costello of country, I've heard him called. Here's my faves, in no particular order. Feel free to vote "other" and add comments.

[Fenris]

1. Inside The Pocket of a Clown

[CharlesGroce]

2. That song from

Sling Blade, the movie.

[mac56]

3. One of his songs on the soundtrack of Sling Blade?

I don't remember it.

[Elidor]

4. He's great, isn't he?

Bunch of good songs to choose from. Nothing's Changed is probly my fave, with Thousand Miles a close second.

He's good at portraying violent rednecks on film, too. Kind of an unusual resumé.

5. Suspicious minds

Best Elvis remake I have heard in a while.

[Lin]

13. yup and remaking anything E did is a TALL order-esp. SM <eom>

[Droopy]

6. A Thousand Miles From Nowhere

One of the few songs by a country artist that I like. I used to be a long haul trucker and that song was a great cruising song. The words are really easy to relate to if your a trucker.

7. Population

Me.

This place will tell you lies
With each passing shadow
That goes by
But there's only one or two
At most just three
More likely none
That I still believe.

They'll say you're not alone
But don't listen to them
Tell that very long
I did then find out
Through misery
That the true population's me.

I used to look for days around
But no trace of her love
Could be found
I'd holler, cry out, beg,
And scream
Throw myself down,
Then start to plead
Searched for her heart,
'Til mine would bleed
Offered it up,
But there wasn't any need
Too late to care
She's no longer here
The population's me...
