Guess he crossed that river this morning. Thanks for the great tunes.

Here I am in 2020 . Who else here in 2020. I played this at my sons funeral. I sang this at my wife's funeral. I'll be singing this tomorrow at my friends funeral.

I kinda thought he would live forever......RIP Billy Joe.

The body dies, the soul goes on. Cheers.

Another dadgum legend lost. RIP BJS!!

This song moved me today. I was thinking of my son as I drove home and thought “ he needs to learn to play this” when I got home, he was already trying to learn it because he heard it last night. It was like the Lord said “ I have something for you two”

As long as we have the LORD JESUS CHRIST with us we will live forever brothers and sisters

I want that played at my funeral when I die!

This is the reason for the Internet.

Billy Joe Shaver is the Last of the Real Deals. A true American treasure and an original musical outlaw through and through.

Billy Joe knew he was saved by grace and grace alone. So did his son Eddie. They had the courage to publicly thank their Saviour. My kind of men. I know I'll meet them soon.

Miss you Norm, have fun with Billy. See you soon

Bill joe. A legend in his spare time

Lost Jerry Jeff last week now another one my heros has crossed the river. God bless you Billy Joe. Rest in peace and thank you for helping me through the good and bad times love ya man.

Billy Joe Shaver will live forever. For those of us who loved him, his music and performance, and songwriting.

May you live forever, Billy Joe. Rest in peace, outlaw.

Billy recently rehearsed at a place I work at in Austin & I must say he was was one of the most humble musicians I’ve ever worked with. He came and approached me and just started shooting the shit even though he had no reason to. We talked about all sorts of things from how Austin has changed so much to morphine to families 😂 He gave me all his records without me even asking and was just so nice. Modern musicians and people in general could learn a lot from this man.

"whether you want to or not" .... he knows what he is talking about. amen

Wrote it in my will that when my family scatters my ashes on my grandparents old farm, they play this song.

My daddy always played this on his guitar and sang it. I always teared up because I knew his days were coming to an end. His best friend played this at his funeral and this song couldn't be more true. He may be gone physically but his soul lives on forever.

RIP Billy Joe, up there with Jerry Jeff now

RIP you ol outlaw. You will be missed.with Brenda an Eddy forever.

Things happen in 3's. My cousin Johnny Bush" singer songwriter...aka author of " Whiskey River" died 12 days ago...then last. Week Jerry Jeff Walker & the GREAT Billy Joe Shaver joined them today Oct 28th, 2020. RIP. John and Sandy Shumaker-French Bryan, Texas

Billy Joe is the greatest songwriter alive today. He has been to hell and back several times and each time has emerged a better songwriter and musician. We played this at my wife's funeral and I want it played at mine. He truly will live forever.

I met Billy Joe in Nashville and he danced with my Girl Jackie. Fun!

I just discovered this guy today. Im super glad i did. What a unique voice.

I was just thinking about BillyJoe twice today Once this morning watching a Willie Nelson video And then about 10 minutes ago I flipped this phone on and KZfaq suggested I should watch a Waylon video of him solo singing Waymore's Blues with Miss Jessi sitting next to him on that show he had way back in the day!! Well BillyJoe crossed my mind again cause then I just had this Video cone on and there is the man himself!! Well Mr Billy Joe Shaver I hope you do live for ever ,,I can never just walk away from a song on the radio or on the KZfaq! Him and Willie played in Lawrenceburg Indiana probably 10 years ago And wasn't walking away from him performing that night . or Willie. I got to the front row and never left until them Texans hit the Stagecoaches and just disappeared into the night. I seen them both before at Willie's Place the truck stop south of Dallas cause I would stop there twice a week on my weekly Indiana to Laredo turnaround After that Petro Truck Stop bought that place and tore the place up I never stopped there again, I'm gonna live forever

BILLY JOE AND HIS SON EDDIE, WAS MY FREIND. AND YOU BOTH PLAYED THAT SONG AND YOUR OTHERS, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND TO ME! AND YOU WERE RIGHT BILLY JOE, I MISS YOU AND EDDIE!! AND I CAN TELL ANYBODY THIS RIGHT HERE! IF YOU EVER MET THESE TWO, THEIR WASN'T A MORE DOWN TO EARTH PEOPLE, IN THIS WORLD, AND THERE NEVER WILL BE!! WE ALL MISS YOU BILLY JOE AND SON!! AND NOT NECISSARILY IN THAT ORDER!! BILLY JOE WOULD'NT BAT AN EYE TO HOLD HIS SON, OR A STRANGER ABOVE HIS HEAD WHILE HE DROWNED!!! YOU WERE RIGHT BILLY JOE, YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER, AND EDDIE PLAYING GUITAR RIGHT BESIDE YOU UP THERE MY FREINDS. SO.ILL.

He's Crossed that River 😪

His voice is so sincere and he's been through it all .He always is wearing a blue collar shirt hes a working man just like the rest of us.

ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTS IN THE BUSINESS BAR NONE. EDDIE WAS A GUITAR PICKER WITH A STYLE THAT MADE YOU FEEL HIS FEELINGS. GOD BLESS THEM BOTH IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST

I love his hands folded together & as wide as he feels it to be, then kneels on his knees. He meant what he sang.

There are those unique individuals like Billy Joe, Guy Clark, Elvis, Loretta Lynn, too many to list. I fear those days are gone.

Man this is so crazy, I believed a fake post I seen on Facebook a few years ago saying Billy died and it broke my heart because I've been a huge fan of his since the first time I heard this song when I was like 14 and I've been commenting and sharing videos on my Facebook saying rest in Peace Billy for 2 years thinking he had passed and it wasn't until today when I seen a Norm McDonald tribute video for Billy that I realized he just really died and I cried all over again, why people make fake post like that idk but now you really are free Billy and with your family again....FLY WITH THE ANGEL'S 💛

RIP Mr. Shaver. I never knew he wrote this. Great song

You gonna live forever now! See ya when I cross that river!

Sometimes I have to hear Billy Joe Shaver. He makes me feel real….💜🐿️💜

Billy joe and eddie were nothing short of what the real outlaws look up too !

Cant believe I just discovered this man, damn, where the hell was I in 2009? How did i miss this? What was i doin that was so important, i didnt even ever hear of this man, his music and his heart. Just dont seem possible. RIP.

I’m a country music fan. But I’m gonna be honest with everyone. I’ve never heard of mr. shaver till I found the series called.. tales from the tour bus .. on you tube. Awesome show!

Just by absolute luck and chance, I heard this on some weird random Amazon mix on my way home from work and felt the most beautiful feeling, true bliss.

Heck of a songwriter but live for ever was the song that truly had a meaning

Live forever in the Kingdom of God, looking forward to seeing you brother

Rip! BJS! You'll live forever in outlaw country!

Brings a tear to the aul eye socket

OMG Jerry Jeff & now Billy Joe Heaven’s Honky Tonk is rocking tonight! Hope Tom Petty Sits IN RIP Billy Joe, your music will be around a long time!

Just recently heard of Billy Joe's passing. Not sure how this got by me, in thisday of modern technology. But, it did. Sad to hear. Rest in peace. You've crossed that river.

Prayin him and his son are together again in paradise singing this 🙏❤

I am in tears. Rest In Peace Billy Joe. We love you!

Yes, you will. Rest Easy.

RIP Saw this song in my dad's notes after my parents passed away earlier this year. Hope that they are all jamming together in Christ's kingdom.

His music will live forever!

GOD rest your soul, I was sure wanting to see you live just once! You music will live forever , God Bless....

They played this at my cousins funeral Friday 1 of his favorite songs 64 years young we lost a beautiful soul 😢❤

A vastly underappreciated poet. Thank you, Billy Joe, for sharing yourself with us mere mortals.

Song makes me cry every time.. Soldier here.. Live forever whether you want to or not. No one will ever find me.

James White,& the Broken Spoke will live forever.

"I walked ten miles of train tracks, to hear Hank Williams sing"

So glad i got to meet this special man i love billy joe shaver

Another Leagend Outlaw Songwriter and Singer gone I would have liked to have known you Billy Joe Shaver Everyone says you was a very nice and cool man that never met a stranger Rest in paradise Sir OCTOBER 28 /2020 /81 Years young ⚘🌻🌻⚘

Guy Clark, John Prine, Charlie Daniels, Jerry Jeff Walker, Earl Thomas Conley....I suppose we all should expect this to happen but it never softens the blow. If you asked most people under 50 about these guys you would get a blank stare. RIP Billy Joe.
