This song was on the radio when I pulled in the drive one night. I saw a strange car. I went inside and my fiance was in the house, smoking a joint with her ex boyfriend. I chased him outside, broke his arm, went in and got as much stuff as I could carry, and I haven't been back. That was 1984. I am now a millionaire, and that skank is living with a pencil dick in Oklahoma. Justice.
@mikeandike517 Funny how a memory in engraved with a smell or a song. This is a beautiful song and I find it sad to have such a nasty memory attached to it. What you don`t say is if you ever found happiness with a faithful mate. I hope you did. By the way I couldn`t break her arm it wouldn`t have been very womanly, but she ended up stuck with his unfaithful ass. Justice!
Back in the early 90's my band, Desert Moon had the honor of opening for McClain's band. The female bassist asked if she could use my amp. I was honored. North Carolina close to Goldsboro where I taught 6th grade. Bob
im a 40 yr old man, who grew up lissen'n to "classic" country. charly is soooooo underrated. her voice and just, charm, is awesome!!! thanx for posting.
wow! so glad to finally find this on utube! My mom had the original cassette tape which i copied onto disc. But both long gone now. So relieved to find it. Such a classic :)
She's found a little salvation on a local station. This used to be the very last song of the night. Yes, radio stations used to actually go off-air! :-)
this song helps me when i feel depressed cause i get into the music and out of this world for a while like the song says. i play it over and over til i feel better.
ive been listening to her since i can remember, my mom loves her and sounds just like her when she sings, i love this music, and it really isnt the same when u turn the radio on and u just dont hear music like it ne more its depressing to me...thanks for ur music, love melissa from ely, nevada
1-17-87 radio station in Seattle WA played this for me following a house fire - lost everything material but this song helped through a low time. Reminds me of people and places.
I am looking for this album on cd can anyone help me out? This is the very first song I remember from my childhood. I was 3 yrs old and waiting in the car for my mom to come get in so we could leave, it has stuck with me some 30 years later and I still love it as much today as I did back then! Wish she would come out with a new album with all of her greatest hits on it!!! Charly you are an AMAZING SINGER . Country music isn't the same without being able to turn on the radio and hear your voice!
This song reminds me of all the times I sat and listened to my Daddy play the Steele Guitar.. I could sit for hours and listen to him play.I sure miss those days.. RIP DADDY
In the mid 80's I worked at an FM station in Ocilla Georgia. Got a call one night after playing this song and the girl on the other end of the line said it was her life to a "T". Never met her 'cause I left about a month later, but she'd call every once in a while and we'd keep each other company. Hope she's doing better now.
I saw her 3 times in bulverdie, Texas. Don't remember the name of the dance hall since it was back in the 80's, and that dance hall is now or still is a furniture store from the last time I drove by there. She was AWSOME!! everytime I saw her. Thank's so much for posting this song. I remember this song very well, I thought the radio station was never going to stop playing it. 23 week's #1 Awsome!!! She is the greatist!! Thanks' again
