      If it's lived experience, then he deserves the sorrow he brought on himself. Had he been true and stuck to his oath, not gotten involved with another woman, while he promised to be true to his love, he wouldn't be in the heartache in the first place. Don't feel bad for people who can't keep it in their pants. Shame on him for getting into a committed relationship if he wanted to continue living a single life.

      If she's relating with him, she's a cheater.

    A song is just words with a melody. And when words are spoken that have truth in them, they always hit differently. Based on the look in his eyes, if he hasnt lived the life he sang about, he should have been given an oscar. He had me convinced.

      What happened to him. How did he pass away what was wrong with him I didn't hear it on the news or anyting. When he would come to Laughlin Nevada. I worked up in the Starview room and the dawn celebrity theater serving cocktails at his concerts. He was awesome Ray Price Merle Haggard and I can go on. I'm so sad he's gone. If you can let me know what happened to him. I would greatly appreciate it
