IF THIS TWANG ROOTER WOULD HAVE TUNED HIS FUCKING NOSE AND LEFT HIS GUITAR ALONE, HE WOULD HAVE DONE US ALL A BIG FAVOR - I BET YOU COULD FIT A FREIGHT TRAIN IN HIS NASAL CAVITY - AND WHERE DID HE FIND HIS PITIFUL ASS BACK-UP SANGERS, IN A HEARTLESS SHELTER - AND MORE TUNEING AT THE END, WHAT A STUPID FUCKER.
NOW, ON THE GOOD SIDE, HE DIDN'T BITE THE HEADS OFF NO FUCKING BATS OR CHICKENS - MAYBE HE WASN'T HUNGRY YET!
I used to watch Dwight perform this Lefty Frizzel classic on CMT and they would credit Dwight as the writer. I never understood how they got away with that.

Actually, the band that really nails it is Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers. Seriously!

In Dwight's studio version, the answer vocals have a definite '50s vibe, right, gang? Anyway, it hit #9 in Billboard, 5-7-88. God bless!

I've listened to the versions of this song,with Lefty Frizzel, Elvis Presley and Merle Haggard. Dwight Yoakam has the best version to me..

ummm.... Dwight is not bad, but I think maybe you should check out Merle Haggard's take of this tune.
