In 1982, 11 days after our daughter was born, my wife went missing in Odessa Texas. Every time this song came on on the radio, I had to pull over and cry my eyes out, sometimes just to hold my daughter. It has been 41 years, and she has never been found or heard from...Damn it! You Left me...just when I needed you most, and I will never apologize or refrain from the tears this song demands from me. Find peace in Christ for it exists nowhere else on this ball of mud.

You don't need to dedicate this song to anyone, it is for everyone. 😥

Man, I used to play this song so many times in high school back in the 80’s. Yet, hearing now is like I hear it for the first time.

Will always love this song. And REALLY love this live version.

This song makes me cry everytime. This song came on when we were driving to funeral home to make my father's arrangements afternoon he died. Never

"It's happened to everyone. That emotion is universal...I always hoped the record wasn't wallowing in self-pity and it had some redeeming value, and I guess it does."-Randy VanWarmer 💔
I never went through a heartbreak in a relationship level until now. I'm 45 years old. It truly is a devaststing feeling. I'll never want to go through it again-ever, but I'll say I'm thankful to it, for having experienced it at all. 💚 Sending out Peace to the Broken and Much Love. You are NOT alone.
