I am just going to throw this out there, i am 14 and I would guarantee that if you were to pull a random person off the street, I would know more about country music- real country music like this- than them. I really wish that we had more people like this singing out there today instead of just hearing "baby baby baby" over and over and over again.
This song was written by Merle Kilgore and June Carter. Merle Kilgore is a very close friend of the Williams family. He managed Hank Jr.'s career for a long time.
if your ashamed of this country then get the fuck out if you dont live here dont except are aid when your country has a disaster. fuck all you U.S. hateing bastards.
yeah you right the aid that the USA gives broken countrys sucks. why is it that people like you dont like are country? what did it do to you? every time theres a natural or unnatural disaster. whos the first to do whatever it can?USA but its never enough right. I THOUGHT YOUR SAVIOR OBAMA WAS GONA FIX IT ALL.O WAIT HE SENT 30K MORE TROOPS TO THE MIDDLE EAST. WHOOPS. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND EVEN TOSE AMERICANS WHO WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER FALL
And they way they were, the four of them, can never be made again. Not too many old time country men left in the music. I am just happy their music lives on.
The thing that made Jennings so unique is that he wasn't old time C&W. He began life as a rock musician with Buddy Holly. He then moved into C&W singing standard fair that eventually changed to Outlaw Country (a distinctively non-Nashville sound). He then blended traditional C&W music with rock, honky tonk, and blues to create the path for Garth Brooks and modern C&W musicians. Jennings was absolutely unique and grossly undervalued as a musical genius.
@gohanrules2 The reason I remember it so well is that he was here in Albuq. for a concert about a year before he passed away and later had to have his leg amputated. Pretty much went down hill from there...
That's why the Highwaymen will never die. Local stations here play things like "Mandatory Merle Monday" and the rest of the days you hear classics like this.
@ceboiatoo You are right...It was written before they were married, but when Johnny & the Carter Family were playing together. They were both married to others, but wildly in love without being able to do anything about it at the time.....Songs of my childhood.
I Love Johnny and his music, it really touch my heart to hear him sing his songs. If I could I would take Johnny back here, the world and the music isin't the same without him. I really miss Johnny, he was so sweet and funny. I wish it was the 60's ...

Great version of this song, different key and arrangement this time, makes it sound fresh again! I love the bit at the end where Kristopherson smiles and points at JC, as if to say "You're the man"- so cool!
well you can be almost sure that everything in that movie that happened, happened in real life.. His son wrote the move... and it wasent this song he proposed to her.. It was Jackson. He said that he couldent continue until she married him because it would be like he was lying.
if the movie walk the line is really how it went he acctually proposed to her during this song and refused to finish it unless he got his awnser from her
