I mean you just can’t find a song written much better than “Good Lord Lorrie”....I mean you can try. I dare you.

i was focusing more on the lyrics. The the picture he paints with his words is crystal clear. Suck a well written song.

It's good, no doubt, but I will put Robert Hunter's lyrics in any number of tunes up against anyone

I meant to add the qualifier of “the last 20 years”. No one can touch Hunter’s lyrics.

ah, the lovers as they run through the night
(Leaving nothing) leaving nothing but to choose off and fight
And tear at the world with all their might
While the ships bearing their dreams
Sail out of sight
I'm gonna find myself a girl
Who can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint-by-number dreams
And then we'll put our dark glasses on
And we'll make love until our strength is gone
And when the morning light comes streaming in
We'll get up and do it again
Get it up again
I'm gonna be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender
And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
Where true love could have been a contender
Are you there? Say a prayer for the pretender
Who started out so young and strong only to surrender
