John, who penned “Long Monday” with Keith Sykes, recorded the tune for his 2005 album, Fair & Square.

“We lost one of my all-time favorites yesterday—a man that taught me how to write songs, so I want to do this for John,” said Eric, before beginning the song.

“I love you, John Prine, thank you,” added Eric after concluding the song.
