I first read that as "Johnny Cash" thinking he did a cover of this song. I'm now sad to that I'm wrong.

I had the exact reaction. I wonder if Cash ever covered it?

Wikipedia says no. But apparently both Screeching Weasel and Willie Nelson have done covers. I'll have to hunt then down. Anne Murray covered it too and while I find her music isn't really my style, I bet she probably did a wonderful job. This song suits her.

Edit: Oh God. I was so wrong about the Anne Murray cover. It's so bland it hurts.
