I have AO3 invitations. If anyone wants one just shoot me your email in the comments or let me know via messages. 
M'kay, let's make this clear: I'm not a fan of that old style country music that was so damn depressing and sad that I wanted to like gouge my ears out after thirty seconds. But this song? This really might be the best country song ever. 

The story from the middle of the song and the awesomest verse ever: 

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
and he told me it was the perfect country and western song
I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect
country and western song because he hadn't said anything about
Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk.
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent
it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written
the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it
on this album. The last verse goes like this here:


  Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
  And I went to pick her up in the rain.
  But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
  She got runned over by a damned old train.
