Lyrics:
You're always there
Right where you've always been
My come whatever
Unfair weather friend

[@brentwilcox1982]

Earlier today this song was played at my Dad's funeral. Hand picked by him after he heard this song and replayed it over and over. Rest easy Dad...

[@johntuttle3245]

Brent Wilcox god rest your father's soul

[@retaliaterguitar2]

I sang this song at my great aunt's funeral. It's the only thing I could've ever done for her that would've ever been worth a damn.

😢bless your heart. You'll see him again. Keep that hope Brother. I lost Pop in 2017 and my Lord help me with sharing burden of one man to the next for the truth and truth is 2 words. Peace and Love all around, everyone together let's turn this into light and I believe in my heart, we will live forever with Willie on Paradise. Flower, oil, butter, and cookie dough or brownies, whatever floats your Arc. Float it. I'm blessed today. Reading these commonalities in mind and making things how it should. We have work to do but I love my brother from any mother who has suffered from the smother under the government. I think we all have be real and make whatever we are against we all have the most perfect blend but we know how things happened. It's hurt me from age just young poor white kid but I knew right wrong. Right is making things right, right now. It's crucial. Peace and Love to everyone who is peace and love in unison. Sorry I had to take that far but it's important that we stick together and live forever trusting and we all have God's glory. I will pay any retribution for wrong in the part that hurt a brother or sister same me and good fam. We love our Brothers y'all are the 1, I'm feeling a lot of love today and It's beautiful so I thank You and apologize 😂

The 37 people who disliked this should be required to leave their phone numbers. How could you be so disrespectful to two Legends?

[@musicisanart2045]

They are sad people to dislike these legends..I Love these Legends...

[@carolnikitaides2904]

I sometimes think that some people are just naturally cantankerous and contrary. They just disagree with whatever for the attention, or to start something. Yet they came here to this site to hear this song....

[@smallblockchevy1022]

Not only so disrespectful to two legends, but how could somebody be so disrespectful to such a great message?

We don't need to think a moment about those folks. ❤

I loved this song the first time I heard it! I really hope it's released so it'll go to #1 on the country charts. I've always loved listening to Merle and Willie. This song has so much meaning, especially between the two of them... and will touch the hearts of others who get it.

We need to appreciate these legends while they're still here, life is short and it goes by fast, appreciate what you have because the next day it could be gone In a flash, love unconditionally, even your enemies, be thankful for everything because when you're in that hospital bed or wherever else your time comes you'll wish you wouldn't have wasted your life on petty arguments and such and wished you would've took time to look around and love life,. So be there for someone, it could save a life. If you read this to the end thank you and make the most out of your life and pass on this word.

Be blessed as you have blessed so many by sharing your music with us.

[@JohnAdams-jw3ij]

Their voices are haunting. I've always liked Merle but I've only recently begun appreciating Willie Nelson. Country music will die with these two. It's gonna be a sad day my friends.

[@ncooty]

+John Adams Speaking of linking to other legends, you might also like Willie Nelson's duet with Loretta Lynn, "Lay Me Down". Too few new singers know how to match texture and pacing with the content of the lyrics.

Ward Davis Alex Williams Cody Jinks Tyler Childers.....country is far from dead.... Hell I'd say it's just getting started again.....My generation is at a unique point where we get to see the next group of Willie Waylon Merle and the Boys just starting out.....Gonna be a hell of a ride

Truly memorable and definitely a familiar situation. Thank you for putting my life to music. There will never be a duo that can simulate life and lyrics the way Willie and Merle do. Love them both with my last breath.

The years have nothing on Willie and Merle, they're still making beautiful country music...and not this pretend country pop you hear on the radio. What a beautiful song, and a beautiful album it will be!

My grandpa (Named David Merle 😁) and I share a love for Willie and Merle. My love for them was sparked because of him, and this song describes our relationship perfectly. He is the most dependable, loving, no matter what, man I have ever known and this song reminds me so much of him. I would have loved to have been raised back when love like this was not so often taken for granted . ❤❤❤

[@stanleyfudala942]

Two Legends from an era when Country was real Country and they didn't all sound the same as a lot of them do today. All the artists had distinctive voices and styles and the songs actually had a tune .Todays Country quite often starts with a piano intro and then the start is almost spoken and there doesn't seem to be a tune .That is my thoughts and we all have our own opinions and tastes.
