Best song ever. Brings a tear to my eye. I remember listening to it the last weekend with my dad before he passed away.

I was a neckbearder

in mom's basement deep and wide

where Cheetos and loneliness did collide

A noob on arfcom on the wild intertoobs

I went to Walmart to check for value .22

My scooter tipped and shells spilled out in to the rain

But I'll be back again, and again , and again, and again...

The last time I saw Jimmy Webb, he opened the show with this. Just walked out on stage, sat down at the piano and started playing. Sent chills down my spine.
This is one my favorites, from Farm Aid, with Glen Campbell standing in for Kris Kristofferson. The crowd sure loves them some Johnny Cash.

Here's another great version, this time Jimmy Webb in a duet with Mark Knophler of Dire Straits.

And, here's a real old clip of Glen Campbell doing the song back in the 70's.

I'm gonna find me a reckless woman...

with razor blades and dice in her eyes.

Just a touch of sadness in her fingers...

and thunder and lightning in her thighs.
