Miles between us, here we are
Side by side in a stranded car
Right now, baby right now
And it's too dark to see
Anyhow so where are we
Right now, baby, right now?
You could say we've both come down
To a place called lonesome town.
When'd you loose a hold on me
Anyhow and where are we
Right now, baby right now?

We stood up and said 'I do'
Vowed to see each other through
Right now, baby right now.
I'm looking down this road tonight
And I don't see a light
Right now, baby right now.
If we're so clever tell me how
We're waiting for the wrecker now.
Let's forget what used to be
Anyhow and where are we
Right now,oh baby right now?

I asked Bill Payne why water bottles replaced the gigantic (I'm thinking 6 papers, if that's possible) doobies that floated around the stage during Lowell's time and he siad, "At some point, you decide you want to live."  If anyone has insight into how they made joints that big, let me know.   Asking for a friend.

I used to construct multi-limbed joints (they looked like candelabras) but I gave up when I stopped smoking tobacco many years ago.  It's not hard - you can join papers together and if you roll them carefully they're airtight, and then construct the roaches using cardboard and sellotape (obviously not the bits that burn!).  Lighting them took the help of other people.

You're right, what was I thinking with a silly 7 rating when 9 is much better?  Long Live RP!!
 
Even the explanation for a 6 rating is better than a 7??

Hey Bill. I only grabbed 2 Dire Straights albums back in the day. I guess Knopler is a favorite of yours. Thank you for great artist I didn't follow.

I have a similar one sided affair going with Alison Krauss.  She has the voice and face of an angel. One of these days she'll return my calls! :)

And despite being a Mark Knopfler fan, i can understand people saying they hear a lot of Mark Knopfler here, believe it or not, i could live with less airplay for Mark but then, there's a lot of other crap that could be lost here so.......

I saw them perform at the Santa Barbara Bowl on their tour. What a show! Knopfler did a version of Romeo and Juliette that was absolutely mind boggling. And the band! Every one of them stellar. And, we got a free CD with the tickets. What a deal.

Exactly. Thank you. I bought this song from iTunes while listening to it for the first time on RP. Was Sinatra's Duets really that bad? I'd never listened to Emmylou much before this--my loss. As for Mark Knopfler: one of my ATF guitarists.

Put me down as the third. Saw them in Boston, "Why worry" was last song before the three encores. Mark, Emmylou and the band were great! Wish they'd come back to town again.

Why did it take these two so long to get together? Their voices and Marks guitar are awesome together!
It didn't take as long as you think, this album was recorded prior to EH's Red Dirt Girl, but was not released because both of them were releasing other albums at the time. Which explains why it sounds older than the current sound of each of them. While this is better than most other music, I personally like where each of them has gone since then more.
