Hey, Rick. Thanks for finally answering my question about whose tune it is.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the third verse is what makes the song a good one. Without it, it's just a smart-assy kissoff. With it, there's some redemption, some self awareness--but the guy throws it away in the last verse--and throws himself away with it with his ultimate put-down: "You just kinda wasted my precious time." Or him hers. I don't know if I can sing it any more, but it's still fun to pick--"Who'll Buy Your Chickens When I'm Gone?" that is.
