Songs like this are real country. This over the top high processed crap they have today, I would rather put a bucket over my head and hit it with a hammer than listen to that. Merle just sings, doesn't do cartwheels or have explosives onstage, he never needed them...he has TALENT.
This is from the heart country music, sooo much better than rodney atkins and jason aldean, and rascal flatts.......Merle doesnt try to please the masses he plays from the heart.........GO MERLE!!!!!!
Hi, now we are talking about the greatest of all. I often wonder if someone will fill his shoes, there are certainly a lot knocking on his door. Merle will never die as his music will go on for ever.
I'm a father of a teenage daughter and I know someday I will be singing this song (even if only in my heart). everytime I hear it, my eyeballs puddle up
WE DID IT!! It was Awesome I am waiting for the video so we can post it!! I play fiddle and with the guitar accoustic was Awesome to see the father and daughter dance!!More to come
loved this songs for years and it still makes eyes water! I always told my daughter's boyfriends, "Treat my baby like a queen, 'cause I ain't afraid to go back to prison!" lol got'em every time!
I have 3 daughters - this song is always on my mind when they go out and "meet" the boys. I also think of the scene in Twilight where the sherrif father has a shotgun in his hand when Edward comes in and asks to take Bella out on a date. I wish my daughters the best....
I used to sing this song with my uncles and my dad. It used to make my dad smile. He's been gone 6 years now. I love you dad. This is for you.
