I like it but kind of lacks a chorus.

What a great song, loving it more each time I listen.
Can't help but to want to hear this one live.
Likely never will see a "B" stage again, but this would be a perfect song for them to resurrect it with. Instant classic imo.
Not that it really matters, and it gets real convoluted, but I would classify this as an "American/Roots" or "Americana" song as opposed to the broader "Country" label.
No other rock band does the genre better,

well,
This "London band" were probably amongst the most influential pioneers of what folks today call Americana.

Yeah, but I think that is the charm of this song. Namely, in about all the rest of them have clear (and catchy) choruses and middle eights, and like sounding they put extra attention to that kind of melodic structures. But here is like an anti-thesis to all of that. It is like a simple Dylan-like folk song basically, repeating musically the same hook (the one that sounds like having taken out of "Short And Curlies"). I am really fond of that decision. An irresistible tune in my book.

This is one of those songs that I think will stand the test of time. It just enhances what is already a great album and such a tip of the hat to the genre and it's place in the strongest part of their catalogue, the big 4.

They wanted to write a song in a modern Hank Williams style. The chorus (bridge) turned out to be a bit too pop, but the guitars sound nice.
(Reminds me a bit of "Every time I break her heart" from the 50 Fully Finished Outtakes, but that outtake is better)
