i remember these songs when i was little my dad was a big country fan i didnt care much for it at the time but when i hear it today just brings back the good ol days

[skippertee1]

This song makes me long for the junk I left in S.E. Asia. Luckily, I have memories to sustain me.Perverted priests from grade school, centerfolds from Playboy and a two week love affair with a slope from Thailand.

[VonSpiegel]

@priestst Lucky for you, it's a great song. =)

This is real fuckin' country, the way it's supposed to be done. Fuck the new country. Classic county forever!

[mrjoegrennon]

@308CaliberJustice I have to listen to the new crap at work all day. The conviction of your post brought a tear to my eye.

you tell her,kenny! this is what i love about youtube. out of the blue i can be humming a song for no reason,and then 5 min. later be listening to it!

[cowboy5632]

Mel Tillis is the one who originally recorded this, not Kenny Rogers.

[sirjamalot4u]

@cowboy5632 well if mel did it first,, it sure didnt go very far i cant imagine mel doin this song the guy can barely sing

[cowboy5632]

@sirjamalot4u

Mel wrote it, it's on his 1967 record "Life Turned Her That Way", and I disagree, Mel is a great singer.
