I`m 63 yrs old and spent 35 years in operating heavy equipment. There was a least half of those years from the middle of November to beginning of March where I was unemployed and trying to support my family . So this song always hits me hard whenever I hear it.

They call him the poet of the common man. He knows what it is like to struggle before he became big. his songs are mainly all about his life. This brings back hard times when I was a kid. Thank you for playing it. Merry Christmas Tasha and T

So glad you reacted to this song. One of my favorite Merle songs. Several years ago my wife died just after Thanksgivibg, so just making it through December was tough. This song helped carry me thru

They found my mother's body the day he died. Also one of my best friends dropped dead from a heart attack. April 6 2016 was a bad day.

I remember this old song of his. My husband got laid off a week before Christmas in 1974. This is why country music is loved by many, we can relate to it. I love other genres also.

Merle’s voice, sign! The truth in Country…not always pretty. Tasha, would you please react to Merle’s: Always Wanting You? Merle was so in love with Dolly. He wrote this song for her. Upon finishing it, he called her in the middle of the night, drunk, and sang it to her. Of course, she was married but was another huge hit for Merle.
