There is no pop country today that can touch this. THIS is classic country music.

21 years ago, I spent the year drunk. I crawled in a bottle to ease my pain. Bars and strip clubs was where I could be found. I spent a week in Mexico, drunk. I don't know how I'm still here. These old songs really told stories of guys going thru it. I can really relate to these kinds of songs. I'm better now. But the music still draws me.

This is why I hated Country music as a kid and fell in love with it as adult. The drinkin, cheatin songs that my dad listened to were making sense.

When my 1st wife died in 2004, the hurt was so bad. I spent 2005 drunk. I figured I would die. I was a functioning drunk.....I made it to work, but I burned alot of sick time. This song hits me more than anything ever written. I'm glad I'm still here.

This is better than Mel Street's version
