This song was released in 1984 and was written by J.C. Cunningham. This was the kind of orchestral country music that DAC was rebelling against early in his career, during thec1970's. ---#UTRCM
Thanks for the great reaction Don! The song is quite beautiful and so different from most of his stuff. I have another one for you too, I may have suggested it already, Marty Robbins - The Girl With Gardenias in Her Hair.
DAC didn't care what people thought about him. He did & said what he wanted to. I have always thought this song was beautiful. He's a good songwriter. A beautiful song he wrote that Tanya Tucker had a hit with is "Would you lay with me(in a field of stone)?" Very deep love song. Most people thought it was a dirty song & were upset that Tanya, a teenager at the time, was singing it. You have to really listen to the words. To me, it's about the person asking how much do you love me?
Always have loved that song although I had forgotten about it beautiful but sad song thanks for the request . Don as always thanks for the great reaction
The talking points put me in mind of Whispering Bill Anderson.... The guitar intro put me in mind of Marty Robbins. Pretty damn poetic though, for a guy who also wrote that old sentimental tear jerker, "There's Cum Stains On The Pillow, Where She Once Laid Her Head".

What a great song! New one to me and I loved it, especially his voice and those fantastic lyrics. Thanks Don for the terrific reaction!
the album this came off of was titled Just Divorced and instead of side 1 and 2 the sides were the up side and down side
One of my favorite songs,
a GREAT ONE for sure 👍
i actually like the talking in it and in other songs. it kind of changes up the pace and maybe makes it more dramatic. at least in my opinion

Beautiful not so well-known DAC song. Love it.

I like the mandolin playing in that song I like to hear David Allan Coe though

His best song I think!
It's funny you mentioned this was almost the perfect county song, you need to listen to his song "They Never Even Called Me by My Name"
Maybe the only song I know and like by him. You never called me by my name doesn't even make sense until the last verse. I liked that part.
Please try to find Mel Tillis, New Patches
DAC is the best writer ignored by the Nashville establishment
Maybe he met 7 Mona Lisa’s
dac is so dynamic ..field of stone is just as polished as this song
