dbt tracks # 21 - Goode's Field Road
This song is about what can happen if you actually listened to the darkest of voices inside your head. Hopefully it's not based on a true story but it probably is.
So which one do you like better... the funky version from BTCD or the country version from The Fine Print? I like the country one but I prefer the BTCD version, It perfectly fits the dark mood of the song.
Honey, take care of the children, make them do as they're told
I got a meeting in the morning down at the end of the Goode's Field Road
Nothing much for a man in my position
A man like me don't last too long in prison
And all those friends down at Police Department
will act like they never had anything to do with me
Started out down at the junk yard taking orders from a moron
And a man my size don't like taking orders from anyone
Bought myself an old beat up wrecker, built an empire with my labor brains and sweat
But it's hard to make an honest living and a man takes any help he gets
Nothing much for a man in my position, a second mortgage and three
college kids' tuition and all them friends that I helped along the way
Will act like they never had anything to do with me
But you and me, we had us some good times and I've always been a family
man deep down. Ain't much a believer of hiring work from "out of state"
but they'll be asking questions when I'm found. They'll be asking
questions when I'm found
Honey, take care of the children, pay the house off when the salvage yard gets sold
And you don't know nothing when the insurance man asks questions
Bout what went down at the Goode's Field Road

Re: dbt tracks # 21 - Goode's Field Road
I like them both, think they did the right thing with holding off for BTCD tho.
It is supposedly based on a true story

I prefer TFP version.
I have nowhere else to go. There is no demand in the priesthood for elderly drug addicts

I love the song. It's the more somber version of the story told in the film Bulworth.
Keep calm and have a cigar

Re: dbt tracks # 21 - Goode's Field Road
I like both, some days somber is good, some days you want a little motion in your song motion.
so what is it like living with your mommy again BWAHAHAHAHAH
Re: dbt tracks # 21 - Goode's Field Road
I far prefer the groove on the BTCD version. The Fine Print version does nothing for me
And I knew when I woke up Rock N Roll would be here forever

completely disagree. I like both, but the swampy BTCD version takes a certain mood. I can listen The Fine Print version any time.

I'm gonna side with Zip on this one. I like both but i am more often into BTCD version.
Never going back to Buttholeville. (Good luck with that!)

Re: dbt tracks # 21 - Goode's Field Road
I like them both, a lot...But I think the btcd enables the listener to focus more on the story at hand making it a deeper cut in my book..
my shits fucked up

Re: dbt tracks # 21 - Goode's Field Road
Cooley's guitar is just so funky on the BTCD version. Seeing it live is phenomenal. You can just feel the groove.
I'm only human, though I'm super at times.

i wouldn't go as far as "does nothing for me" since i like the breezy, strummy feel of the fine print version, but i prefer the BTCD version as well. like PeterJ said, the groove is massive, cooley's guitar is psychotic, and it just captures the drama of the story much better, imo. i wish they'd play it live more. and this:

man deep down
kills me. great song. i'm glad they stuck with it after it didn't work out on TDS.
ain't no static on the gospel radio
Re: dbt tracks # 21 - Goode's Field Road
Not sure if the story is true but the road is real. In highschool Goode's Field is where we had keg parties. It's in St. Florian Alabama just a little north of Florence.

Re: dbt tracks # 21 - Goode's Field Road
My family holds onto vehicles. I still drive my grandfather’s ‘99 pickup and an ‘08 suv. I use the suv to haul off recycling out of fear of stuff blowing out of the uncoveredbed of the truck.
I recently turned off satellite radio in the suv after getting a new car; however, cds are left in the suv and among them is “It’s Great to Be Alive”.
I was just taking off recycling in the suv and Goode’s Field Road played, and I got chills. To fully paint the picture, I’m in the suv on an 80-some degree day, and the power windows no longer work, and the ac doesn’t work. My forehead was sweating, but my arm had goosebumps.
Call me a fanboy, but let’s see another band do that to me!!!

Prefer The Fine Print version, but enjoy both.
Wish they played TFP version live from time to time.
This lyric hits 100% of the time: And a man my size don't like taking orders from anyone
