It's a great song. There's so many times and cases where it's hard to articulate one's feelings in the right way. Many times, songs do a much better job of getting those feelings across. Like the quote from "Mamma's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys": "They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold," this song speaks to that kind of audience and personality. I think this song especially appeals to the more soft-spoken, shy person. Jim Croce was an awesome song writer and singer!
