My google skills are failing me! Can anybody tell me who the artist is to this song?

Back Up My Street
Now here I'm a walkin down the street
on the chance that we'll meet
but I know that every day I walk in vain

believe I'll stop
in that bar down on that corner
til it's time to walk back up that street again

its been one year today
since you and leroy went way
and I guess after all hunny you gave me fair warning

cause you know most pickers in those 3 piece bands
they only play one night stands
barmaids just don't tend bar til 6:00 in the morning

tell me what do you see bartender
when you look at me
I'd say your looking at a mighty lonesome man

so pour me wine lots of wine
heal this tortured soul of mine
til its time to walk back up my street again.
 
A couple of questions...
*What genre...is it country, rock or whatever?
*Do you know what era it might be from...is it something from college, something from about 3 years ago, etc.
*Do you remember if it was a man or woman singing it
*How did you first hear it...on the radio, on an Ipod, on a '45', etc.

I've been doing lots of different searches and wondering if maybe you might be mis-remembering the exact wording.

Haven't given up yet,
agnes!
 
I don't know any of the answers! I assume it's country or classic rock. I'm organizing my husband's lyrics sheets and this was one of them in there. As I go along, I look up what songs I don't know on the internet and this is the only one that has me stumped!

(can't ask him because I'm doing this as a surprise... but I will ask him later if it can't be found)
 
Mushy....

This might sound odd....but your DH is a musician, right? Used to be in a band?
Maybe he *wrote* it...

agnes!
 

the only valid hit i can get on these lyrics is this DIS board posting, and i search the internet for a living...lol.
 
Okay, I gave in and asked him.

A friend of ours, her father was a musician in the 50s-70s and that's one of his songs. He wasn't nationally known, but ran with some big names like Dolly Parton and the like. His name was Donovan Morris.

Apparently, DH was learning the song as a surprise for our friend. :goodvibes
