@CowgirlDixie07

I am sure that you will find the right apple and it always takes time and this song rocks.

[CowgirlDixie07]

I love this song.this reminds me of wasting my time on the wrong apples.I'll find the right apple someday and I'm gonna give him all my love and a shoulder to cry on stand by him for the ups and downs and the days of doubt and he will love me for me and I will marry him!!

[edystrauss]

Late 80's early 90's. Love it

[edystrauss]

The rebirth of country music was on the 80's. Love it.

[MrInflateAdate]

I seen a video where he sang this solo while playing a classical guitar. Has anyone else seen that version? I't is not on Youtube.

WHO NEEDS YOU I GOT TELLICO

[rockdoowop5060]

Hi,Love this and all Eddy Raven.I have most of his cd's & many LP's. If you enjoy Eddy then Check out some of his earlier songs on my Channel.

[jpstude]

Thanks for the post - I have been singing this song for many years, and I still love to hear it - great progression, great lyrics, great players, great song

[DustyNTTown]

Eddy! If you and Eddie (RIP), Don W, Bellamy Brothers, Ed Bruce, Mel McDaniel, THE Outlaw boys...there's too many to list. I wish y'all could come back and take what was/is rightfully yours! Not that I forgot about Hank Sr, Tubbs, Autry, SotP, Bob Wills...I just miss all that good ol' stuff! When country WAS country!

[Darthbelal]

"I should've left a long time ago

who needs you

I got Mexico"

I can really relate to this song.....

[honkykong77]

I ACTUALLY QUOTED THIS TO MY WIFE AS WE WERE IN COURT GETTING DIVORCED.WHO NEEDS YOU I GOT MEXICO.......JUDGE DIDNT FIND IT AMUSING

[harrydoyle]

@honkykong77 You are the man!

[honkykong77]

I ACTUALLY QUOTED THIS TO MY WIFE AS WE WERE IN COURT GETTING DIVORCED.WHO NEEDS YOU I GOT MEXICO

[TheSB48]

@honkykong77 Sorry.....sad:(( 

[TheSB48]

OMG!! I love this!!!! So sad but so beautiful...

[TheSB48]

I love this song.....why do I feel so sad every time I hear this song?

[bdshank]

The reason you don't hear this kind of music anymore is because there isn't an ass kissing city boy wearing tight jeans singing it, and also there is no mention of a fallen soldier, or someone overseas. Simply said this just don't make enough money anymore

[CaptainJasonArgo]

When I got pissed-off with my old lady, I just blast this song,,,,

And singing along, especially "Doing everything I said I would, I should have left a long time ago! Who needs you, I got Mexico" part.

This surely drive any clutching & domineering woman Nuts!

Works for me all the time... LOL

[peeterpoon]

Having just gotten back from Cancun, I can definitely relate to this one!

[39tommyboy]

my ex-girlfriend from 22 years ago mentioned this song after all that time. saying i understand now why you loved that song. she said you really lived your life ? i smiled and replied back uh ya a little. getting drunk and going to alaska wasnt a smart move though. lol but at least i can say ive been there. when the stewardist asked my why i was flying to alaska i told her i wanted to see where the baby jesus was born. lol godbless. lord forgive me for that one.

[RebaLancaster]

I really like this song, I have to listen to it everyday!

[LadODell]

A big part of what made "old" country great. Here it is 26 years later and people are still listening to Eddy and his music. How many of these new "artists" will be able

to say that 26 years from now? I'm bettin' not many and people will still be listening

to Eddy. Go Eddy, you've got the magic.

[AudioInklined]

this song puts me back into my childhood in the eighties, rolling down which ever ways the car would go, with me and my mom. she had a great taste in beautiful music. this song is vintage perfection.

:)

[flashbell]

@Elena69Kintero , How does that work?

[briant420]

I love this song.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #1 in Billboard, 6-16-84. Eddy's 1st #1 as an artist. God bless!

[highnrising]

This kicks ass--

I don't know which came first, but this is better than JT's "Oh, Mexico"

[curvy71]

i like some of his music

[green95chevy]

very good song

[curvy71]

this is one of my favorite songs

[JohnVAce]

Wish this song was a bit longer.

[thestew56]

listen to it 3 times tonight...that woman is so hot!! I wanna be in Mexico!

[Ladybug776643]

I love Eddy Raven He is so cute

[MrMisfitScott]

Gotta love Mexico

[MrTuneitup]

Check out the version by Gary Lee Tolley, great version. I like it better than the original! Its on TUBE, just search for Gary Lee Tolley!

[ImAnImbecileAndIVote]

Love the song, but what's wrong with Seattle?  Great city even if it is a cold paradise.

[1dream2sing]

It's funny I've heard this song before but I didn't know it was his song. I am a relative of his and he snubbed me when I tried to send him a letter. He sent me a generic fan letter!!! I don't know that I'm a fan...

[scottnsuzs]

there are a lot of people out there i'd like to sing this to.

[flashbell]

What is holding you back?

[scottnsuzs]

i can't sing, and i don't have the money to go to mexico. :(

[flashbell]

scottnsuz, You can rectify that small problem by changing "can't with "can"and "don't" with "do.""

[scottnsuzs]

maybe some day :)

[warrenb0]

For some reason it won't let me give you a "thumbs up" on this one. If I could, I'd give you 25. It's so true..

[etbella3]

@scottnsuzs Are you a Mexi-can or a Mexi-can't? That's a quote from the movie, The Mexican.

[redfordforpresident]

@scottnsuzs Are you a Mexi-can or a Mexi-can't?

[ghostwiener1978]

Hey this Eddy again, and I have one question... who is the hot chick with long hair in the wedding gown? Not much wakes up little Eddy these days, but that sure did!

[3es1a]

You know what's really sad? This guy's my Cousin. I sent him a letter a while back and he sends me fan mail in return. WTF?

[flashbell]

Does he know who you are? Eddy is great guy and wouldn't do that. Who did you send the letter to, his fan mail address?

[ghostwiener1978]

Hey this is Eddy, and yes I did do that to my Cousin, but it is his fault he was asking for money again!

[broncose1]
