his dad in this song sounds just like mine.honest hard working and loving. where has it all gone wrong? too many women who think they can be mom and dad, too many guys who dont give a shit about their responsibilities.
@headredbone ....I hear you. I just can't help but think that the more "open" and "advanced" we get as a society, the more messed up we get....time to get simple again? I think that it couldn't hurt.
This is a great song and Merle does a good job except he muffed the lyrics after the first chorus...too bad there isn;t a better recording of this posted.
whoa! its wolverine!! lol

It's a shame that these days most kids have no idea what "roots of my raisin" even means.

Merle is absolutely the best country singer ever, but what's with the "Planet of the Apes" look he has going on there? Cornelius Haggard?

Looks like Leona got him off balance.
Guess I would stumble too with such a babe in sight. (and thinking about what may happen at the hotel afterwards)
