OMG--does it get any better than this? Country music from the 60's was defined by great singers who all had their unique voices, unique sounds. You knew right away if you were listening to Johnny Cash, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn. Nowadays, everyone sounds the same. And to get any air time, you have to be under 30 years old. What a shame--THIS is country music.

This song takes me back to when I was a young boy back in the 70's riding in my Dad's old ratty pick up truck going to work with him. He would always let me have donuts and would tell me not to tell my Mom. We always seemed to listen to George or Merle. Simple times, but I wouldn't trade them.

George Jones has the deepest well to draw from, and when the water comes up, it is the kindest gentlest coolest music that any country singer has ever produced. He has had one hell of a life, but I forgive him every time I hear him perform this song. What a musical genius.

We lost a legend today... but legends never, ever, die. I hope y'all appreciate what a treasure we had in George Jones, because there'll never be another. Rest in peace, Possum.

@lakeland666 you are 100% correct on that statement: They most definitely do not make country music like this anymore. All we hear on the radio now-a-days is pop music. I find very little heart in true country music on todays radio. Not saying it's not there - but there is so much re-manufactured pop music claiming to be country that just doesn't "cut the mustard" anymore.
