Soothing guitar, soothing lyrics. Always a winner.
A song about just going out and trying to live, making a living by just living, a song about making sacrifices to better the lives of others for their sake, not just your own, about making bad decisions that ruin the world around you.
Tracy Chapman is a she, by the way.
Enjoy.
I recently wrote about this same song. Nice to see some more appreciation for it.
