[@stephenlamb3929]

One of the greatest songs in history

[@dannyward8917]

Loved this song first time I heard it still one of my favorite country songs they still sound great together Shelly West looks a lot like her mother

[@briannotafan3368]

i was stationed at ft hood tx when this came out met a girl in town at a local dive this song came on she looked at me came over asked me if i wanted to dance started a 3yr relationship now TX has gone down the shit hole

[@ThaRppr]

Lord she still gives me goosebumps when she sings! Beautiful lady!!!

[@jcastleman11]

This is the way country music should sound!

[@jimmythezoop2737]

Music always changes with the times. All genres. 1970's, 80's & 90's country is long gone. Well, except for the recordings.

[@gus2600]

Yea , beginning with little Garth Brooks country music became, how did the Geezinslaw Brothers put it , " you call it country , I call it bad rock 'n ' roll . I will not repeat what George Jones said about where country music had gone before he died .

[@briannotafan3368]

not like the shit they call country today in 2021

[@briannotafan3368]

i havent turned on a a radio in apox 25 years now

[@Outdoormaniac3123]

@@briannotafan3368 you aint shittin! I still have mom and dad's records and 8 tracks with some of the best music that ever was. Music turned to shit and so did the world

[@PK-bh1ww]

David Frizzell has always been a great country voice. Wish he was still charting songs.

[@Cathka]

Absolutely my most favorite song of all time. Gives me goosebumps.

[@RobertErickson-ik4rf]

Never lived in Oklahoma… but this song always hits me.

[@NattyBumppo48]

Classic! Great song from back in the day....

[@davidkonen7159]

Spot on!

[@rachelgowan-vv2vs]

Love this song & Shelly & David ❤

[@1OpinionOnly]

Has been my favorite since the first time I heard it...pure country

[@davidkonen7159]

I remember hearing this song when I was a high school student - it's among my FAVORITES

[@mkl62]

A #1 hit for David Frizzell & Shelly West on the Country & Western charts. It was the 554th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era.

[@deborahfaria3651]

Shelly and David were fantastic together, especially on this song. Lovely memories❤ Shelly was beautiful with that gorgeous red hair.

[@demiurgiac]

It doesn't get anymore "American" than this!

[@davidkonen7159]

Dave, I couldn't AGREE with you MORE! (p.s. MY name's David)

[@tomkerr4463]

The change at 3:20 made my hair stand up and run for the hills. Just amazing. Definitely love it!

[@zepkov]

That “change” was it going up a sharp. Sharps add a lot to a song and give the song a little extra oomph.

[@muffassa6739]

❤❤❤❤ this is one of my favorite songs 🎵 ❤ 😍 💕 thank you so very much ❤

[@ronnichols884]

Number 3 on my list of Shelley West favorites. Love it very much.

[@tchin2020]

This is the song that turned me onto Country Western music back in the 80s, Shelly was and still is a dam good looker, and David still has the voice, thanks for putting this on you tube, Great seeing them again............always a great classic song!

[@susanferrazzano1957]

This song was always had a special place in my heart but this year we lost a dear friend that family moved from Oklahoma to LA then more north. Now each time I hear it it, tears me up inside.Thank you to Clint Eastwood for putting this song in your movie.Totally a top country classic from two country treasures.

[@rjmcallister1888]

These two second-generation country stars may not have had the overall careers of their parents, but they did have this #1 from 1981. Played this one quite a bit on radio.

[@JoshMorningstar]

RJ McAllister David Frizzells parents weren't country music singers, therefore he's not a "second generation country star." David's older brother Lefty Frizzell is a country music legend, but having an older brother in the business doesn't make you "second generation"-same generation, just a little later.

[@highheeledprince3402]

RJ McAllister actually hes leftys brother

[@cecilwhite1647]

And I still listen to this song. Just came back from Oklahoma. ❤❤💏

[@briannotafan3368]

i had basic at ft sill 1979

[@markbrommer2588]

I own a "old juke box from 1981" bought it for $100.00 at an auction it worked then and works yet, This song is on the play list {original 45}..

[@robertstroud7561]

[@belindadent7258]

Thanks for posting. I'm not huge on the so called country music of today lol.

[@barbaracallahan7836]

this Song Came out In 1981, Not to be Confused with Today's So-Called *Country Music* !!

[@kennydobbins1345]

There are still a few traditional style artists.

[@uasyvwm]

Glad to hear You two together. I like the Song and The Video. Good Duets don't happen much these days. Thank You Very Much !!!

[@danielneece6404]

One of my favorite memories was dancing with Shelly at frizzles Mirror Room Lindsay Ca, thanks Noel Baker.

[@jimm1028]

I must be in a time warp. Top notch!

[@countryguitar87]

REAL country music!! Shelly looks 25, so sexy. David seems like a nice guy and a legend too.

[@CashPresley32]

And David was the brother of another music legend Lefty Frizzell, and Shelly the daughter of a music legend Dottie West.

[@davidkonen7159]

OMG! I just noticed Shelly West's 10 years OLDER than I am - that would have made her 23 when she SANG this song (and WOW!) - While David Frizzell's about 27 year's OLDER than I am, I think if we EVER meet each other, I'd like to TALK with him!

[@marlenebadyrka5817]

LOVE LOVE THIS SONG

[@puppiefaces]

WONDERFUL video...Thank you for uploading. I like how David has sung this so many times, he sings the harmony to the actual tune. Leaves me free to sing the melody with him harmonizing!! COOL!

[@primroseharan9749]

this is great

[@YTcliffordmray]

lefty and dottie would be proud.

[@CashPresley32]

I agree. Their looking down with proud eyes.

[@jimmieroan9881]

glad to hear lefty's name brought up, not many of todays "country" fans remember the guys and gals with the booming voice and ability to sing in the old bar rooms and clubs with bad sound systems and probably a fight going on. those are the ones that made it possible for country to last so todays stars can have their sounds bottled up and sold to the masses, even if most of them couldn't sing a note.

[@MrDarren5012]

Clifford Ray this is dottiecwest ad david

[@drjsmajor]

@@jimmieroan9881 I came here today after lisenting to Lefty's son, Crockett Frizzell. (for the record his first name is David after his uncle).
