My dad passed away August 4, 2008. This song reminds me so much of him. I remember him saying he had felt like an old violin. I cry every time I hear this.
Johnny was about my age when he recorded this. i remember playing it when i was a DJ at a local country station. i was about 22 then. i'm 47 now and i know just how he felt. :(
MY SITUATION IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. mARRIED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD. she started on the painkillers and alcohol, man it got bad, we divorsed. Got remarried 3 years later, now the same thing all over.I dont drink, im all about the family and its got me 51 years old and alone again. Im done. Perscription pills are as bad as anything out there and you dont even have to take them to hit bottom.......
i want to finish what i started. i don't give a damn what people say, it's a choice that i made and a choice keith made. i regret those choices but i cant change them, i got to move on...to my 3 wonderful children, kim, caleb, and cory. daddy loves u so much and i THANK YOU for you guys loving me again. U 3 are my world and i love u so much....i thank everybody who said i would fail...jokes on u..sober 4 10 yrs. but i did it for 3 simple words...KIM, CALEB, CORY...again daddy loves u.
i love this song, it was played at my brother funeral on 9-9-10 R.I.P CORY SCOTT (CJ) HE WAS A GREAT FATHER FRIEND & BRTOHER and it was also played for my wife's grandfathers funeral as well on 10-31-11 R.I.P LES MORGAN.. HE WAS ONE GREAT MAN, HUSBAND,FATHER,GRANDFATHER, HE COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH EVEN IF YOU WAS SAD.. BOTH WILL TRUELEY BE MISSED DEARLEY!!!!! LOVE YALL HOPE TO SEE YOU AGIAN ONEDAY
Alcoholism it kills and destroys a man. I lost my idol and country music superstar Keith Whitley to that disease, the same one that robbed me of my family. The answers to life and diffcult situations does not lie in the bottom of a whiskey bottle, but back then i couldnt see that. The only thing i wanted was another drink and another bottle. Damn my family and damn my friends was my thinking. One more drink and things will be alright. I loved the bottle and the things that came with it.
@lno71 ..it wasn't Alcoholism he wrote that song when he was going to prison for three years (he thought it'd kill his career and he was right it did). Stop projecting your personal life on a beautiful personal song he wrote to combat he own demons.
they just have to want it bad enough........Hang in there, don't give up & May God Bless........Oh, an also, I partied & played music with Paycheck for about a week in Montana back around 1970......(May street dance in Missoula, Mt) "Wild Days"
It took every drink & pill and every thing I ever did to get me where I am today.......I, like you, was a horrible husband, father & human being.....But today, no more!!! My Higher Power ( God, in my case) finally got a hold of me (or I guess the other way around), I got a hold of Him........25 + years clean & sober & most important, an awful lot of fences mended.....It took an awful lot of work to make the turn, but staying high wasn't easy either.........Anyone can make the turn. (con't)
my old man my father grew up with him down in hillsboro ohio. they drank in the bars in chillicothe ohio where he went to prison there too after he shot at the bartender. love this man...
THIS SONG WAS PLAYED AT MY BROTHERS FUNREAL ONE YEAR AGO TODAY... I MISS HIM SO MUCH.. CJ WE ALL MISS YA BROTHER AND HOPE TO SEE YA AGIAN SOMEDAY... R.I.P BROTHER KEEP A FEW COLD FOR ME...
so happy i heard this today on the radio, dont believe i have ever heard it before, or at least not the way i heard it........maybe i wasnt meant to find it til now! but its most definitely my new favorite song....even if so old.....cant imagine how i missed this, musta been in my days of new country and pop and bubble gum.....boy did i miss alot of really really great music in those days! i so fell so in love with this song today! shall be listening to this for along time to come!
My dad passed away a week ago today!! We played this song at his funral.. He loved this song alot.. It breaks my heart everytime i hear this song i cry cry like a baby an im 31 yrs old... Idk when or if it will get any easier.. My momma seems so lost without my daddy..
Love this song. Puts life in the proper perspective. At one time or another, we all become the old violin. God bless you always, Johnny Paycheck. . . . Had I known that you were in that nursing home, I would have come to visit you.
great song and bring back mem's from when i was fighting my meth adiction hated it but just felt like i had to have it even tho most every one still thinks im dirty i know i sleep at night now and can care less what they think and aint even gonna try prove any thing to them
@sennfullspeed im not judging, i don't know you except by what you say, but you are human and everyone should treat others with respect. Shame on them for thinking that. keep up the good work.
awesome song and it kinda speaks of me cause I once was a hard worker and worked till my back gave out and I feel like an old violin that has been put away on the shelf never to be seen again at a tender age of 28 I just wonder why it had to happen to me but that's life and I tried my best to accept what fate has given me..R.i.P johnny paycheck you was always one of the best singers
@blazerlover25 guy you can't beat yourself up over getting injured and not being able to work . just remember that theres alot of people that never worked and have been milking the country dry for years and not ever saying thanks to all who have worked to give them the the life they have . be proud that you did work when you could.and know that the people don't mind helping the ones that atleast tryed to do it on there own but was taken out by injury
@jclarkjimmy thanks 4 the kind words your right there are some people who never made their hands bleed from working or their legs hurting from being on them all day working I mainly got crippled because I pushed the limits and I am slowly accepting this and finding a new way of looking at it because there are people out there in worse shape
I had a family..a wife..a little girl...a great job I loved...the life man....I mean the good life......but my liying ... and my falling short...the ones I let down that helped me throught think n thin....its all gone and that life I had will never be again...never...and it truly is the worst feeling I have ever failed..." I don't know why I feel this way...Hell I cant say..."but I can say bc I let my self down...how could I be a husband and a father when I couldn't even help myself...damm it...
@77pcorbett I agree do not beat youself up. You can turn life around and around, but until you admit there is a problem, nothing will change. You have done it so make the changes. It won't be easy but you can, one day at a time.
@77pcorbett , One additional thing. You took a brave initial step by recognizing and admitting to the mistake. Now you can move beyond the past and be proud of your future decisions. Be strong my friend and GB.
u just gotta put what is most important to you first and let nothing ever get in the way of that. keep focus on what really matters and let nothing or no one get in your way!!! the lord is always there, Job lost everything as well and was blessed with even more than he had, so keep faith if u believe!!!
@77pcorbett My wife of 15 years ran away with a guy she had only met 2 weeks earlier. She left myself and my 12 year old daughter like we were trash. If you think you felt bad, you should feel it from the receiving end.
@77pcorbett Your on the right track brother, like the man said you took the first step admitting you got a problem. We don't need more heroes, just kind decent human beings.
@77pcorbett It's ok buddy. You can't change the past but you can start today and change everyday from here on out! And I PROMISE that little girl of yours will forgive you!
@77pcorbett wow thats the last thing I've ever heard. It's always like that we don't know what we have until it's gone. I hope it looks up from here my friend.
@77pcorbett You may think you couldn't help yourself, but you have no idea how many people your helping just by having the balls to type what you typed brother.
this is a very beautiful song, my new girlfriend turned me on to it, it is as good as she is!!!!! awesome.........she is from the deep south and this song is played on classic jukebox evry sat nite @ 9:30 go classic jukebox dublin chanel and go my new girlfriend i love this song........Amen
Donny(Johnny Paycheck), was a hell-raiser for sure...he and my step-dad Bill were running buddies in Greenfield,Ohio back in the day they were referred to as the Wild Ones by the local old timers...lol Donny had a heart of gold though and would do about anything for anyone,he had some issues that he just didn't know how to deal with,so he did drink alot...he once said he was probably the most negative thing in his own life...RIP Donny
Absolutely love this song. One thing I'd like to mention - this was a song played during my senior year in H.S. ('82-'83). So, objectively this song was played on the radio, thus released, prior to 1985. No doubt in my mind.

@sfuzzyshille these channels are not giverend by this freedom. these are private areas where its owners can choose what they will or will not allow. that aside , ive been looking for this song. thank you for uploading it

Just because we have freedom of speech doesn't mean you get to act like a jackarse.

@sfuzzyshille no, there is no bar called the Y, there is a restaurant about 10 miles south of town called that but there is no gay bar in Hillsboro...
Well I love this track, I have followed johnny's songs for many years as a country DJ. I read recently it was very rare he played this song live - until just before he died on th Opry family reunion.
Donald Eugene Lytle of Greenfield, Ohio was not always a hell-raiser. One of his first albums after he got a recording contract was a gospel album for his mother, called "The Gospel Truth".
@reviewanythingboy sorry but u are wrong.........I have listened to more George Jones songs than you ever will, he is the greatest country sing ever but this is Paychecks song......he wrote it, not taking way from Jones he is the man but Paycheck owned this
@reviewanythingboy so i guess u are saying that this is George Jones song?? Sorry but u are wrong...and no believe me i have listened to more George than u ever will. Sorry. Look this song up and see who put it out? This will tell you who knows more about George, Paycheck put it out bud.
I had the pleasure of being with John on tour in 1980, he always gave a great show.He was a hell raiser but we had a great time, he always listened to a casette recording of merle Haggard right up to the time he walked on stage,I miss him,
this was played after 911 and it was a PERFECT song to put the many souls that died to rest and relax their lovers heart, this song means so many things that one cant describe the feelings of this song
Excellent piece of work!! Thank you very much for Sharing!!!!!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!!! Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!!!!
This was my dad's favorite song,I found him a Violin clock for his last Christmas,he loved it,to sick to enjoy it,he went to be with the lord Jan.26th,2010.He was the best.
Great job on this video,Sherry. Like Johnny Paycheck, I too was born in Greenfield, Ohio. My Father was raised in Greenfield, and Johnny Paycheck shot a man in my cousin's bar in Hillsboro. Once again sherry, great job.
I INTRODUCED THIS SONG TO MY KIDS YEARS AGO. we all play music and sing I AM 50 & have 5 sons whom play very well. as a joke i told my son justin i wanted them to play this song @ my funeral just to see what he would say, to my surprise they practiced it for 3 weeks we had a little get together they called out my name and said they weren't gonna wait til i died& played it & i cried like a baby
When I was first married my husband pulled me aside one night and made me listen to this song. Me being the younger generation sighed and laughed. In 2006 this song was my husbands" putting away" song as he called it. Needless to say this old song has made a big impression on my life and till this day brings tears to my eyes every saturday morning on the golden oldies!!!!!!!
This video reflects my life so much more than the "bad" things You tube even allows. The song reflects heart and sadness. Johnny says this very well. Life is Not a bed of roses. It's constant struggle. But my Dad was a fighter, he said never call him old till he was 90. He saved our country with others in WW2, but never ever gave up and refused to be that OLD VIOLIN~don't you be that either
I'm a 15 yr old and I hate the the crap on the radio now a days. sure their a couple good songs but that's it all the rest is "me and my friends gonna have a BBQ and a tail gate party type of country music. no more at a bar drinkin or you're soul mate cheating on you".
Nice performance!

@sfuzzyshille If freedom of speech means you can spew whatever you want to and all ages can have access to it...............then I'm for reigning it in a little bit. Just because we have freedom of speech doesn't mean you get to act like a jackarse. Freedom of Speech was meant to speak against the government and oppression by government............not to allow deviants to spew their filth.

Great job on this video,Sherry. Like Johnny Paycheck, I too was born in Greenfield, Ohio. My Father was raised in Greenfield, and Johnny Paycheck shot a man in my cousin's bar in Hillsboro. Once again sherry, great job.

I INTRODUCED THIS SONG TO MY KIDS YEARS AGO. we all play music and sing I AM 50 & have 5 sons whom play very well. as a joke i told my son justin i wanted them to play this song @ my funeral just to see what he would say, to my surprise they practiced it for 3 weeks we had a little get together they called out my name and said they weren't gonna wait til i died& played it & i cried like a baby

When I was first married my husband pulled me aside one night and made me listen to this song. Me being the younger generation sighed and laughed. In 2006 this song was my husbands" putting away" song as he called it. Needless to say this old song has made a big impression on my life and till this day brings tears to my eyes every saturday morning on the golden oldies!!!!!!!

This video reflects my life so much more than the "bad" things You tube even allows. The song reflects heart and sadness. Johnny says this very well. Life is Not a bed of roses. It's constant struggle. But my Dad was a fighter, he said never call him old till he was 90. He saved our country with others in WW2, but never ever gave up and refused to be that OLD VIOLIN~don't you be that either
