I was listening to this over and over as I drove from LA California to Durango Colorado to see my girlfriend, it was the summer if 1982, I was 21 she was 19. The lyrics sort of matched the situation. This beautiful song It takes me right back to that drive and the free and simple time.
Good on you brother. I was 19 that summer and working as a radio DJ. I worked at a country station in 84-85 and this was one I turned the studio speakers to 11 whenever I played it.
My father turned me onto Moe, back when I was a preteen in the 80's. In 2002, I went to Branson, & met Moe, at his stage. Front row ticket. Such a nice man, shook our hands, even got a few pictures of him singing this song. I bought one of his cd's, not sure if his side show man Hargis is still alive, he was funny. Good clean no filthy language comedian. I would recommend people to go & see.
This man vould sing and the grand ole orpy should of give him more recognition than they did he done lots of good music and he is done Texas good as anyone else
My parents were there during the recording. Amazing song. Plus the changes Moe had to make to make final recording. Gave him personally my college book that detailed this song. Great achievement of my life. Love you Moe.
Good stuff there. The Good ol' Boy song (w/Joe Stampley) is also awesome. Country music had the best artists back then and earlier...I can listen to that stuff continuously, as opposed to what's out now...can only handle an hour or so before wanting to switch back to classic rock
This is a good song, but I prefer Suzy Bogguss's, which until now is the only version I've heard of this song. Usually the version you hear first is the one you'll prefer, imo. Now I am going down that rabbit hole to see if I can find the original, originally recorded clear back in 1963.
I lived in southern Colorado when I was about 10 years old. Moved there from the projects in Denver. We were there for 3 years, outside toilet, had to carry in water after hand pumping outside. My step dad never finished anything he started our outhouse didn’t have a roof on it. I remember sitting and looking at the beautiful stars at night, and I remember freezing my ass off after brushing the snow off. The winters were every bit as cold as Anchorage Alaska. I had 4 older brothers,we had the best summers ever looking for arrow heads and exploring the open fields around us. We worked hard ‘bucking bales’ onto a flatbed truck, I think we were paid 2 cents a bail. We also spent a lot of time gathering firewood (no chain saws) heat and cooking, mom made the best biscuits ever on that wood stove. We all learned how to work hard. I think our lives would have been different had we not moved to southern Colorado. Lots of memories come to mind when I here this song.
Yes Susie's version is definitely the best. She had a chance to digest Moe and Judy's version. And she really made it her own. But Mo brings a nice male perspective to the song. Moe could sing the phonebook and entertain you
A "male perspective?" You have clearly never heard the version by The Kingston Trio... which is glorious. Get it, hear it, and change your ol' low-down ways...
I had the pleasure of my father and moe growing up together in san Antonio. Always a pleasure to get to see him, as a child, and adult. He is a true gentleman. I love you moe as always.
I think if Ian Tyson had the insight to write this song from the girl’s experience and the balls to sing it that way, then every guy should too. It’s a cop out to change the song ‘cause you’re worried some drugstore cowboy is gonna think you’re queer. Grow a pair.
Have you ever rode a bull or a bronco? Moe has and did until he realized his brother Mike was better at it than he was, and he was better at singing. When you've ridden a bull or a bronc and stayed on it for eight seconds, then and ONLY then can you tell Moe to grow a pair; until then, kindly STFU. P.S. If you think every guy should sing it in the perspective of a woman, then you go first tough guy.

Great story bro. The problem with the good ole days as we don't realize they are and appreciate them enough while we lived them.
Did you marry your girlfriend
Yes I did, and became a family with two children.@@hakesrah54

My favorite song Moe ever done he made it his own.
And knocked it out of the park.
This man vould sing and the grand ole orpy should of give him more recognition than they did he done lots of good music and he is done Texas good as anyone else
this song went to #21 on the country charts in 1982!!!
Seen one of his shows in the 80's. Always enjoy his music.
Beats the hell out of a Jelly Roll 😁 this is real music and talent!!!
Jelly Roll is terrible 😮
Agreed 👍

Smelly belly!!

Much better. He is an awesome person. Known him all my life. And family. Used to help his parents much later. Awesome people.
He looks like a solid guy and boy can he sing.
My parents were there during the recording. Amazing song. Plus the changes Moe had to make to make final recording. Gave him personally my college book that detailed this song. Great achievement of my life. Love you Moe.

my favorite bandy song!
This is by far the best version of this song. The sound and instrumental just is better than other versions on YT
Yeh, ibelieve this is the original version. Wtch out for the rerelease's. They stink.
@@d.julian8337 no it's not
This is a good song, but I prefer Suzy Bogguss's, which until now is the only version I've heard of this song. Usually the version you hear first is the one you'll prefer, imo. Now I am going down that rabbit hole to see if I can find the original, originally recorded clear back in 1963.
The Best!!!!

This is good. I'm used to hearing it sung from the female perspective.
But I think it makes more sense from the female perspective "he loves that rodeo as much as me", "blow him back to me", etc.
no encuentro el disco completo,,,ayudaaaaaaa gran interprete....
Yes Susie's version is definitely the best. She had a chance to digest Moe and Judy's version. And she really made it her own. But Mo brings a nice male perspective to the song. Moe could sing the phonebook and entertain you
A "male perspective?" You have clearly never heard the version by The Kingston Trio... which is glorious. Get it, hear it, and change your ol' low-down ways...
The song was originally written in the male perspective. The girl singers did it later.
😘oh yes, it is a good Version, but I prefer the voice of Johnny Cash and do You know the versioon of esther ofarim ??? A good one too 🥰🥰🥰
Does anyone have, Daily Double, to upload? Cant find anywhere.
Lola~
Second best version of this song. The only one that is better is by Suzy Bogguss.
I don't know. I like both versions. I actually prefer the instrumentation on Suzy's but I feel like a male vocal works better for it.
Judy Collins forever.
I like her version too Jess and been intending to post it on this channel..so far i forget everytime, just wrote it down.
She was a commie
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic please validate your accusation.
no thanks
i guess judi collins had no part in this song...
She sang it in '69 i think and had success with it, as did almost anbody that recorded it....Ian Tyson writ it.
better than the Suzy version.
Nooooo
I had the pleasure of my father and moe growing up together in san Antonio. Always a pleasure to get to see him, as a child, and adult. He is a true gentleman. I love you moe as always.
It's a very difficult choice
It is really good. But Suzy Bogguss' version is the absolute best one.
They are both great!

It was written from the male perspective and Ian change it so Sylvia could sing with him on it.
