This song hits so hard for me personally. I like Faron Young’s voice for it, but Chestnut gives it an even sadder tone to it which I feel is fitting; especially for what and how I feel when I hear it.

Rest In Peace Sir. You were a one of a kind.

It just something special to hear and see the songwriter do their own song
