that line "we give our all to music and pretty soon we'll give our life" hits harder now that both Johnny and Daryle are gone

Johnny wrote the song, its one of the few songs Johnny wrote. Listen to the “Outlaws Prayer” What’s truly upsetting Johnny has not been inducted into the country music hall fame. Johnny and George Jones were best friends. Johnny died broke. George buried his friend in the in the plot George had already purchased for him and his wife. George has a huge grave marker beautiful. Johnnys grave is just a few feet away. The plot is fenced in, has a gate visitors can enter. Now that is what you call a true friend. I had the pleasure of visiting Nashville back in April. They have a bench for you to sit on, I took my guitar and played He Stopped Loving her today for George, and Juke Box Charlie for Johnny.

Mr.Paycheck wrote it and put this beautiful song on the airwaves when Mr.Singletary was still in grade school !! 🍻

[jefftappan]

Mr. Jones had a ' real' song, called " Wrong's What I Do Best" .

[jamesjarrell]

[mikebarnett]

A very emotional song about dealing with growing old. One of my favorites by Mr. Paycheck, Another good one is "Outlaws' Prayer".

[terrywoodyyc]

What an amazing performance --- emotional projection is amazing! Very few can do it, and he does it perfectly!

Thank you, i've been waiting for you to react to thjis song by Johnny.

It's tough when you come to the realization that you are in the December of your life.Johnny did in fact write this. He also sang on Daryle's recording of this song. It was the last thing he sang because he died very shortly after. This is tough to listen to when you are 70 and in bad heath.

[belindareese]

Talk about a man opening up his soul in a song. I saw him perform this on an old Country's Family Reunion show. I think they were surprised he sang it. Seems that was one song that he rarely, if ever, performed anymore.

[trentfox]

I’m going through some things and the emotions in songs like this hit hard but I’m always looking for the light

[rickyking]

He wrote this song when he was going on trial for aggravated assualt for shooting a man in a bar in 1985. This is the original wrote & sung by Paycheck

[Patty]

Lari White and Travis Tritt Helping me get over you....

[PapaFixit]

You're in good company "idiot" Don. That's why you're one of my favorite people.

Great song. 👍

[margaretk.]

The singers at the end were singing an old gospel song: Precious Memories. Lots of people have recorded it.

[kimwatchesstuff]

I clicked on this because the only one I had heard recently was George Strait's version. I had no idea that it was a cover. This just proves that I guess I need to go back and pay attention to more older country. Loved it!

[ThatGuy-kffo]

Greatest country there is in my opinion. Thanks for the reaction!

[edithmaxim]

it's funny because I had not heard this recording. I have usually seen him do it live on different t.v. shows. My sister saw him here in Maine near his end and she said he had an oxygen tank backstage with him and he would use ir right before he came out. Love love love his unique ness.

[TwiztdTimbers]

That was angels that came in at the end.
