This isn't a bad Dylan song—it does sound like a Dylanish ballad—but the chorus is not a good idea. Too Jeff Lynne/ELOish. 
 
Oh shame ! jeff lynne work on this tune is just what was appropriate.

  Good thing - Damn Yankees were AWFUL.

Then again anything Ted Nugent...

It's like all-star hockey games, fun to see them all in one place but it rarely makes for great hockey.

Is this a  John Mellencamp (Cougar) ripoff? {#Lol}

Sorry, but that's where I was going when I first heard it, trying to recall who it was or, at any rate, who else performed it. It's that walls coming down thing...

Just broke out the album a couple of days ago and played the whole thing.

This is a standout song in an album of great stuff.

Tastes vary. I, for one, think Dylan is part of the reason that this song is awesome. :)

Good piece from a very fine project.  I think the album won a Grammy in 1989.

 So my 10 plus your 10 = pure music to our ears .. Hard to beat on long trips— blasting the Wilbury's
cranked up to max. People look at me like I've flipped but I like singing in my car, better than the shower
This album is a great one to sing along with.

The Headstones cover of the song is superior. Love the story in the song!

If Webster's has a dictionary that played music, this song would be the definition of "over-produced." A little Jeff Lynne sure goes a long way. E,L,Oh my God!

This track has a lot of Glen Frey stuff in it, chords,beats, transitions ... hope Frey got a percentage ...
 



You bring up Glen Frey as if he is an influence when you've got Harrison, Orbison, Petty and Dylan - LMAO

Talk to Glen Frey
 

Right!

Who is Frey....? In comparison?
