i love this song!.. reminds me the my high school..

[TheShospitali]

I worked some elderly men who around the country music e.r.a of the 60s and 70s, back in the nineties, and they said country music aunt country music anymore, and this was around 1998, I was just five years out of high school, and I said really, what changed country music. One of these guys replied it started getting weird in the eighties, yeah, thats about the time pop started mixing in it, and country pop was born, they had a point.

[stinkfist2010]

Reminds me of going to my grandparents' house where they always had the American Country Countdown with Bob Kingsley playing on the radio, country 107.7 WGNA FM.  The 80's had real,100% pure Country music.

[arhuxtable]

This was good enough for the soft rock genre. It has the Eagles sound somewhat.

BEST SONG IN THE WORLD.

[pantyhosesexlover]

I had the pleasure of acutulaly having a few drinks with Mr. Conley at the Holiday Inn in Mansfieild, Ohio. He was there performing during the Miss Ohio pagent,...I'm not sure which year it was; I'm thinking it was around 1995 or so.

Well at any rate,... my friend got him to meet us at the Holiday Inn for a few drinks!!!

I do know that he likes to drink Bud Light & shots of Bluebeery Schnoops (please forgive my spelling,....but you get the idea).

He was a very deligthful person!!!!

[alangastellou]

Gee, I can remember this song so good after so long way ago when I was a kid... I didn`t know much about music back then but I couldn´t forget this country song only the title, but I recently found it again and it seems it's describing the condition I'm in.

Greetings from Mexico, I appreciate country music.

[ayronsmama05]

Yep I'm fired up and smokin' LOL

[sleepyhitson78]

God I can remember sitting in the back of daddys old Buick and listening to great music to bad I didnt realize it till now

[glasgif]

@sleepyhitson78 Yup...I remember being in the back of my mom's station wagon singing this like I was on a Nashville stage! THIS is pure country and something we are missing now.

#1 in 1981

This is one of my three favorite Earl Thomas Conley songs, the other two being "Holding Her And Loving You," and "Brotherly Love (Feat. Keith Whitley)"

Earl Thomas' first #1 in Billboard. Hope he wisely quit smokin'. like he was shown doin' in his vid for 'Once in a blue moon.' God bless!
