James Mcmurtry – Levelland Lyrics 14 years ago
A little trivia:
I read in an interview that James said the song is really about the town of Floydada, Texas, but Floydada didn't fit the meter, so it became Levelland. I think I also heard or read somewhere that he has a friend who lives in Floydada, who James has said is the leader of the Socialist party there. Knowing what small towns in west Texas are like, he must be one brave sumbitch.
