If Sam Stone by John Prine isn't one of the saddest songs ever written, then I have no clue what the word sad means.

The Johnny Cash song "Hurt" got me good

NIN's original is still better to me. Cash's version isn't bad, but Reznor was living what he was writing about and I loved the tune way before Cash covered it.

But the gold rolled through his veins
like a thousand railroad trains
and eased his mind in the hours that he chose
while his kids ran around wearing other people's clothes

There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothing, I suppose

One of my all-time favorite Prine songs.
