I discovered Bon Jovi some years after
These Days was released so I can't exactly be biased toward
S4TP because it was a hit, but I love it, always have done.
One of the few (if not only) feel-good songs on the album and very different in some respects to your average Bon Jovi single. Like you mentioned, the slide guitar followed by the shared lead vocals with Jon and Richie. It's got a real country twang to it which no ones seemed to have picked up or mentioned here. (I'm mainly referring to back when
Lost Highway was released and we were discussing previous country-ish Jovi songs.)
True, it's not exactly been nailed live but I do like the version on
One Wild Night. Still think the could get away with playing it now though.
The video is cool aswell.
