I Shake's version. But, the voice of Waylon is perfect. Add Jessi it is mesmerizing. Then the lyric is perfect for them. Divided they would have been through. My friend Larry Welborn was friend of Waylons. They both played bass player for Buddy Holly (Larry played bass on That"ll be the Day)He told me that Waylon was the same cool guy as a teenager. Legendary guitarist Duane Eddy (Jessi's first husband) said the best thing he ever did was break up with her so she could get with Waymore.

[teddie488]

@john9944 Thanks for that John really intersting and agree you coulg not picked a better twosome to cover this..of course it became theirs..

[lwarteman]

Written by Texas' own Shake Russell and Dana Cooper. As much as I like Waylon and Jessi, I like the original version better. You can't beat Shake & Dana.

[teddie488]

@lwarteman Well thre is nothing wrong with that thanks for commenting , it is very much down to the listener .

[all95621]

She's beauty thru and thru. What an amazing woman she is.

Beautiful song, with emotions.

Thanks for sharing

[MsJadedangel]

@all95621 She is absolute beauty. Her voice, her personality, her love for Waylon pure beauty. I love her and could listen to her sing all day and never get tired of listening to her.

[Hank666100]

OUR song...

[all95621]

Is this available any where? I thought I had heard all of their songs, but this is great.

Thanks for sharing with us,.

[sharonsd60]

the first time i heard this song i was at work, sitting at a desk. It came over the radio and a co-worker asked me a question. I just told the co-worker.....wait.!! LOL.....this is ONE good song! Of course i went and bought the c.d, I had to hear it on good stereo sound!

[teddie488]

@sharonsd60 Hey Sharon it is one of my very favourite Waylon tunes..i just love it

[blackneworleanscat]

rip waylon 

[puppyjerker123]

I LOVE THIS.THIS IS LIFE .

[Vengeance509]

I just hope people don't ever forget how important these two were in the history of country music--Waylon as the unparalleled "outlaw" with his legendary catalogue and Jessi with her own, albeit fewer years at the top of everybody's super pop-star list with her two or three untouchable Capitol albums and big hits of her very own. And both of them on 'Wanted: The Outlaws.' How did they survive it all?

This song, more than any they warbled together, explains why.

[teddie488]

Great words thanks for the comment

[sharonsd60]

@Vengeance509 amen!

[teeger66]

I listened to this song...again...today....it's on my playlist. Agree totally -. 100% with Vengeance509...it's a beautiful song..and love listening to these 2 sing to each other..in fact...it sounds like they're singing ONLY to each other!

[teddie488]

With you all the way teeg , it will always be as favourite of mine toooo

[MsJadedangel]

@teeger66 I absolutly agree. ANY song they song together is as of they are singing to EACH other. I think these 2 are what love really is. You can see in some of the snap shots the way he looks at her it is absolute pure love for her, and the way she took care of him was pure love for him..wish we could all have that feeling

[Vengeance509]

my g-d, this song brings on the aching heart. that's how you know it's really damned good country, really great singing. i always loved them both--each for their own individual work, their separate accomplishments, and for their collabs. is it me, or is this just the most heartbreaking work they did together? man, the chords here just rip the soul and they are both in superb form.

[teddie488]

I Think you said it all, it is one hell of a beautully sad song even the steele rips your heart out...Thank you

[kathtexinaustin]

this song was written by my favorite song writer Shake Russell.

[teddie488]

And he did a nice version of the song too , it is on you tube , i gotta say i prefer this version.

[jamsoftheweek]

@kathtexinaustin

i try to see shake whenever he is in austin (iguana). this song and 'traveling texas' always make me feel at home. my fav version is on the shake/jack saunders album. interesting story, i was looking for that album for my dad a few years back and contacted shake's management (shake) and he sent me a copy of the album that had been taken to space by NASA astronauts. he told me at a show that they told him they listened to deep in the west every morning.

[momoferinandjp]

@jamsoftheweek

My favorite version is the original one with Shake Russell/Dana Cooper. I still have that album "Deep in the West".

[momoferinandjp]

@jamsoftheweek

Oops I mean't from album "Songs on the Radio"

[MrOldtimeCountry]

Why did my comment show up so many times when it was only submitted once? Must be a youtube glitch...

[maidmarian1]

The perfect couple ...

[teddie488]

Yea your right thanks for commenting

[waylon19372002]

I never really paid much attention to this song when i first heard it on Hangin' Tough album. I got the album Right For Time in 2005 after Waylon had passed away. The first time i heard him sing it with Jessie it gave me chill bumps and tears to my eyes and it still does sometimes. Theres not a day that goes by that i don't think of Ol' Waylon and just how great he was and still is. This is the best song Jessie and Waylon sang together. Thanks for the great pics.

[teddie488]

this is one of my favourite all time songs , i wish Jessi and Waylon had done a lot more together. Thanks for a great comment

[ConnerPlainLiving]

I really miss Waylon. Wish I could see the first video I saw with this song.

[teddie488]

The Waylon and jessi Video is on you tube thanks for the comment

[ConnerPlainLiving]

The one I had was "removed by the user." Showed them live and walking down the street in the end.

[teddie488]

I wonder why they do that

[shinnymissjenny]

another song waylonized he can take any song ( so can jessi) and make it his own

[teddie488]

Yea this is truly one of my very favourites

[teeger66]

Just HAD to play this one again...it's one of my favorites! Their love for each other...really comes thru on this one.

[teddie488]

Teeger you play this as often as you want to, its a beautiful song

[ramlinrose2]

fantastic........ :)

[teddie488]

The Best

[sandladyvb]

WHen I heard this song 32 years later after my divorce, I realized how much I still love the southwest even though the marriage is over. DIdn't mean to get all mushy here but that's what this song does to me. Have you ever seen the YouTube vids of Shake Russell who wrote this song singing it? Its a lot different but am sure glad he wrote the song so that Waylon and Jessi could put their own spin on it.

[teddie488]

I just seen the Shake Russell version and i do like it but it is totally different to Waylons, and i gotta say Waylons is the best version, even more i am glad they did this version together, it is so beautiful

[gatawyn]

my absout number one from WAYLON and JESSI

[teddie488]

A very beautiful tune

[rexanater]

Hit's me hard to hear Waylon sing that he's "gone home" , cause he's buried in Mesa, AZ, and area he loved. So sad he's gone. He went down rockin'. His music lives on.

[teddie488]

It is the same with everyone who visits this page

thank you for the comment

[CashandMe1]

So very true...rexanater..he did go down rockin...He lives on in his music!

Love you Waylon!

[gatawyn]

i not found words, emotions 10+++

[teddie488]

Yea ..it is just so beautiful

[michaelsacoma]

Possibly the best male and female country duet I've heard... and that includes Geirge and Tammy, and Conway and Loretta.

[teddie488]

Much much better Michael

[teeger66]

The most perfect and beautiful song by these two! "...together we're one, divided we're through" words truly show their love for each other! Thanks for choosing this one...thanks Eddie.xx

[teddie488]

teeger your welcome

[ttjones1965]

I have this with only Waylon singing on Hangin' Tough...This is beautiful. Makes me happy...and sad. Thanks for posting this.

[teddie488]

Thanks tt, for me this will always have reminders,

so beautiful

[LuLupoo]

The best song, in my opinion, that they did together

[LuLupoo]

[teddie488]
