This is Kenny's best, and certainly most underappreciated, single. Other underplayed Kenny Rogers songs are "Daytime Friends," "Crazy," and "What About Me?" Thanks for posting, Boz!

"Listen to these words very carefully. You'll never see another guy like me even if you life to be 5000."-John Gotti January 1998 in a prison visit at the federal prison in Marion,Illinois. September 1998 John had surgery for throat cancer. Only 30% chance to survive the surgery. Took chemo in his cell not prison hospital. Lived longer than expected. Longest inmate ever at Marion the toughest prison in the system.

this song is one of the best from KR period. what makes this song magical is not only is it a great song, but the relevance and importance for this lost generation.

so truly profound and sad at the same time :(

@theenforcer1977 i can image what it must feel like on your side, i myself have seen great people passing away way to early, taken away without a warning, if i may offer an advice, try and uphold your lost loved-ones by doing little good deeds to others. just little things that help others in all-day-everyday situations. it is a soothing feeling to help others for no reason other than doing a little good to someone you don't even know. kind regards and best wishes.

kenny rogers foretold(sang) the future with this one, as the lyrics are more true nowadays than i think ever before and especially when they were written. wonderful song.
