I first heard this song in GTA San Andreas back in 2004 when I was 17, and it's been one of my favourites ever since. Ed Bruce had a great voice, and was a talented musician and songwriter. May he R.I.P.

[@ethanweeter2732]

Waylon did a great cover of this song of course.

I’m Brazilian, and I heard this song about 14 years ago playing GTA on K Rose Radio Station... since then, I’ve created this will of learning about American country songs(which is a lot different than our Brazilian country songs)... and Ed Bruce, what a voice! This is a song that I’ve been listening for the past 14 years, in sickness and in health, in richness or poorness, and I’ll be listening to it until death parts us..

The best version and recording of this song is still done by the man who wrote it, ED BRUCE! A great, underrated country artist that received less acclaim than he deserved.

@@neziopinho9075 eu entendo a letra, em resumo trata-se de uma canção sobre caubóis americanos; que eles são individualistas e que é difícil conviver com eles, porque eles sempre se sentem sozinhos, mesmo quando têm outras pessoas ao lado. Então o eu lírico desta canção dá um conselho aos mães para que elas não criassem os seus filhos para caubóis ou camionistas, mas sim para doutores e advogados.
