One of the best story songs ever in my humble opinion! RT is amazing!

Hadn't thought of this song in years. Great writing and arranging. These days with gun nuts in the US, it needs to be heard.

Totally with you. Also a lifelong Thompson fan, but I think it narrowly edges out both Beeswing and The Great Valerio right at the top of the list.

An excellent story song filled with love and violence and fanaticism.Well worth listening to.

i couldn't agree more with fluffy below-this song is innovative a true original like the man himself-if the amps can go up to 11 then this mans genius is surely a 12-on a bad day!

I have been a fan of Thompson for over a quarter of a century, have every album and have seen him more times than I remember. But the thing is, as wild a statement as this might seem, I think this might be the best song he has ever written. It takes chances (four verses before the chorus?) but it is still absolutely perfect both lyrically and musically. There are lyrical ideas here that are risky yet completely pay off. This is as good as songwriting actually gets.
