I stumbled over this while poking around on YouTube. There are several things I like about this video, besides the tune: the disoriented demeanor of our hero, the contradiction between walking down some desert highway while singing about walking down the street, Cadillac ranch in the background, the replay of the same video micro-story with each verse (how many car wrecks can you have and still get back in and go on?), the simple story and the straight forward, intelligble lyrics. The tune is the best part. With that slide guitar, it's just great.
P.S. The tune is used in the video game Borderlands.
Update January 2021 replaced missing video.
