(John Beland/Gib Guilbeau)
Six degrees of
separation, honky-tonk style.
The singer is addressing a fellow regular at The Palomino who is
making eyes at his girlfriend/wife, and he’s pretty much telling him
in no uncertain terms to back off.
This was a #67 hit on the Billboard Country Top 100 for The Burrito
Brothers. It was backed by a
cover of Don Gibson’s “Oh Lonesome Me” and was the second
track on the 1981 album, Hearts on
the Line. On 12th
September 1986, it was one of a handful of songs performed by The Burrito
Brothers in a tribute to Gram Parsons, an original member, in Nashville,
Tennessee. The song has since
appeared on just about every (Flying) Burrito Brothers greatest-hits
package, including Best of, Coast to Coast, and In Concert.
