hold on!!! gotta get my cowboy hat a cold beer, and get in my pickup truck

[hillbillycadillac]

Saw it on infomercial. Stuck in my head.

[TheStubbleking]

That's the kind of song you want to listen to while driving your pickup on a dusty prairie road, with a cool beer between your legs!

[oldermusiclover]

I have an old 45 of this song. Thanks

youtube for letting others hear it.

[p51nion]

What America sounded like when it was still a Great Country. I was 10 at the time.

[RJiminez51]

p51nion, yep it aint country anymore. nashville sold out.

[aussbing]

fett bäst sång

[Sodomschild]

I love the bass line.Walking down the road!!

[Stugazza]

That is why I love the classic country with the shuffle beat. This is great stuff

[DooWopFanatic]

So do I! I wish I could play bass as I love a walking bass line.

[billchew450]

No relation to Dick Van Dyke?

[doug4522000]

Not that I'm aware of.

[railbuggy]

I love how the guitarist makes that guitar twang in this song!

[doug4522000]

Sounds like good old Fender tremolo.

[svenpennert]

his father came from the netherlands, am I right? It`s just like, a dutch name.. or belgium or something

[marctrainor]

I just read all the comments on this song, and I couldn't agree more. I see such a thread in those comments-things like, "gee, what a great song", why don't they do more like that now. I couldn't agree more. I play in a small country western band, and I just can't get this song out of my mind. We're gonna have to do that song, no matter what. Marc Trainor.

[Roundhay46]

I was a child when this song was first released. I thought it was brilliant then and nothing,over the years, has changed my mind. Ah, fond memories.

[FluffyMe1980]

Great voice, great country song, great era!!! The old ways are still the best!

[unstopedpiano]

You got that right!!!!

[cruiser1947]

Went to his grandstand show last night (7/25/09) in Stockville Nebraska. It was awesome!! He still has a great voice and is a fantastic entertainer.

[tillytroffalot]

music at its very best

[Grifiki]

You should have hear his " House of the rising sun"  Better than the Animals".

[Grifiki]

I met him! i shook his hand 19yrs after this song. How could I ever imagine this. When we were seven thousands miles apart in 1962?

[3240590]

I remember it well. Thanks.

[sharx35]

Sure sounds like, "on a DELETED corner" rather than " on a dimly lit corner".

[boatson2]

One of his very best.  Need more songs like this

[xxxmichiganderxxx]
