😄🎶Yes, very nice Song, was the first Countrysong I loved and still until today after many Years. Evenso I like your friendly Comment and is fine to feel a bit like an old Legend, smile with best Greetings from Germany😊🗺...
Damn this sucks. One of the singer/song writers that was what "country" was and should be. I didn't know he died until now. Just like when many others pass its just a sad day. They just don't make them like they used to.
You're a stupid fucking rightest. We need to ban all guns and open borders with Mexico. This racist music doesn't help anyone you know? Maybe you should educated yourself and realise we need to abolish the 2nd amendment.
@@sergosakhamberidze7309 lol did you ever learn about the Texas Revolution or Mexican War of Independence or American Revolutionary War,and this song never said anything racist if anything the music that people listen today is more racist then ever
I was just a young teenage girl back in the 80's, and I have been a huge country music fan since I was 13. I'm 52 now. Ed Bruce had a voice like no other. I seriously doubt that there will ever be another country music artist who sounds even remotely like him. I am so glad that I grew up in the 80's. In my opinion, 80's and 90's country music is the best. Today's so-called "country music" sucks - for lack of a better word. Ed Bruce will be terribly missed. There will never be another Ed Bruce. He is irreplaceable.
I’m a little older than you and this story hit real close to home for my cheating ass. Substitute Florida for Tenn. and I lived the words to this song.Ed Bruce was the best. You never heard anyone who could cover his music. He could still sing late in life. Your comments were spot on.
He is the sound of opening titles or ending credits, the voice when you look out the window of a bus of an inner city as the world speeds by. He's inhuman, a part of nature not a mere mortal
Real country back in the day, an old bar dive in the middle of nowhere, pool table, cold beer, with some Ed Bruce, and the Bellamy brothers on the jukebox. Simple memories are missed the most.
A real country singer & cowboy. Nowadays Nashville wouldn't have a thing to do with him. Country music will never be the same- the 70's & 80's were the best.
No, the 70s and 80s were the last of the best, a downturn that ended the great American class of music. It consisted of bluegrass, country, western, and soul. It was uniquely American a class of music that will never be duplicated.
he is actually from Northern Arkansas a little town called Statesville which about 5 miles from the Mississippi River and 30 miles south of Arkansas/Missouri line. but he does sound a lot like he is from Texas and Tennessee mix
Not to split hairs, but I read that he was born in Keiser, Arkansas. Perhaps it and Statesville are neighboring towns. A damned good singer, even if he's from two PLANETS away!
I can name several unsung country legends. Gene Watson, Jim Ed Brown, Leroy Vandyke, Johnny Rodriguez, and recent ones I can think of is Garth Brooks. You really don't here much out of Garth. That's why I just enjoy You Tube. I get to here music that you can't on any other web site. It is a pleasure to search out these old songs. Most of these singer/song writers are from Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri. I find this interesting about these song writers.
I was a young trucker when this song came out, I loved listening to DEAL country while on the road weeks at a time, retired now, old 76 KW, 400 Cummins in the barn restin' for show only!
What an incredible voice this underappreciated man has! I could listen to this song once every hour for the rest of my life, I think. My very favorite song of all time! I only wish his CD of "The Best of Ed Bruce" was not so expensive!
You sure don't hear this kind of music in the current "country" pop bubble-gummer stuff they try to pass off these days. I'm thankful to have lived in the BEST of the Country/Western music years. Thanks for posting this.
I’m from Canada. Love this mans voice. Me and my wife spend a month or six weeks in Texas in the winter. Love going to luckenbach tx. Listen to the locals. Ed Bruce rest in piece.
I loved his music and it was evident from my listeners they loved him too. From Melbourne Florida, Goldsboro North Carolina, Mobile Alabama and others in the 70s and 80s, Ed Bruce was loved and will be missed. Thanks Ed Charlie Monk...play me some Ed Bruce!
Though no Texan, love this song by the legendary Ed Bruce.. exemplifying that "classic" Country voice. On my list of songs to enjoy... Such a calm artist, when 'calm' is now on the "endangered list" of music today.. September, 2016.
no one ever sang a more heart breaking song than mr. bruce.these current "country stars" should listen and emulate this man and his emotions! try to create such beauty so simply so profoundly.thank you mr. bruce!!!
Thanks for sharing this song , heard it on the radio the other day , and I thought wow now that was back when country music was country music unlike so many of the songs they call country music today , it's great to hear songs that I grew up listening to .
My first taste of Texas was my beautiful Mexican woman in Houston who happened to be taller than me. Best week of my life was with her, cruising the parkway and walking the malls. I will always love her with all my heart, and though I'm so far away, I think of her always... And how things would be if I never left and never acted like such a fool. Won't name names, but if you ever see this, I love you with all my heart. I always will.
My first taste of Texas had blue eyes and golden hair and lived just west of San Antonio. Great song, as it evokes wonderful memories. Nothing like a Texas girl!
in a 2012 interview, Ed Bruce said this is his favorite of his own songs...even though he no longer was with her. It's one of my all time favorite songs. My husband was from Texas (he passed in 2007).
My first taste of Texas didn't have blue eyes and blonde hair, she was a Tejana. Since then I've been through two wives and this little Tejana still has my heart. It's been almost 40 years since we met and I don't think there has been a day gone past that I haven't thought of her. Thanks for this song.
So much better than most country music today. Today's it's all about videos. If the girl isn't smokin' hot or the guy isn't a hunk they'll never make it....

If you're still listening to this, you're a legend and I love you!!! ... from Fort Worth, Texas
😄🎶Yes, very nice Song, was the first Countrysong I loved and still until today after many Years. Evenso I like your friendly Comment and is fine to feel a bit like an old Legend, smile with best Greetings from Germany😊🗺...
This guy sure could teach today's country singers a thing or two.........this is real country music!
It’s funny and I agree with you, Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
Traducido en español
i can't believe one day i would say RIP for this legend who alwyas reminded me a of my dad
And he was a pretty good sheriff😅😅😅
He had a great smooth voice. I love his music! This is such a beautiful song. ❤❤❤
Rest in Peace Ed Bruce. You never got the recognition that you deserved.
He surely didn't 😢
Damn this sucks. One of the singer/song writers that was what "country" was and should be. I didn't know he died until now. Just like when many others pass its just a sad day. They just don't make them like they used to.
@@davidamos8591 who’s gonna fill their shoes?
Love this song!!😍
Damn right he was underated!!!
He wasn't just a good singer and story teller, he was a truly fine man.
Love this song. Hate today’s country music. No real ness in today’s music.
Ed Bruce, I salute you. Thanks for all the great music you left for all of us to enjoy. 🎤🎵🎼🎶
The late great Ed Bruce the one and only with that voice, was one of my favorites to hear on the radio. RIP ED BRUCE
I'm 74 yrs. young, Great artists like this keep me young, Thanks Ed.
Can't believe this wonderful song didn't make it to #1. I love this song.
Who can beat this? A great song and a even greater performer! Thanks, Ed.
Ed Bruce a true country legend 👏👏👏✌️
This still remains one of my favorites … 2020 and you can't find anything that resembles Country music on "country" radio today …
imupacreek2000. Does anyone listen to radio anymore?
@@opasrock1 Not often, but I do have a local channel that I listen to that play's my kinda music.
You're a stupid fucking rightest. We need to ban all guns and open borders with Mexico. This racist music doesn't help anyone you know? Maybe you should educated yourself and realise we need to abolish the 2nd amendment.

@@sergosakhamberidze7309 so glad you can’t vote here! Go back to your grass hut!
This man Ed Bruce can just flat out write great songs and then sing them so they rip out the feelings from your heart and soul.
R.I.P. Ed Bruce. Your music and talent will be missed.
Man I didn't even know he passed away until I saw your comment. After looking it up im glad it was at least to natural causes at a old age. Rip Ed
His voice never gonna die! 😭
Such a shame that we lose legendary true musicians.
😢😳
My sisters and I saw Ed Bruce in a club in the 70's I fell in love and I miss that pure country sound that you just don't hear today.
I was just a young teenage girl back in the 80's, and I have been a huge country music fan since I was 13. I'm 52 now. Ed Bruce had a voice like no other.

I would agree with you 100%, but I would also add the 1970's country music also.
Can't stopped hearing/listening to that voice.....He really was a Country man....
Real country back in the day, an old bar dive in the middle of nowhere, pool table, cold beer, with some Ed Bruce, and the Bellamy brothers on the jukebox. Simple memories are missed the most.
This is honestly one of the greatest country music songs ever.
Real men ,real country ,when writing a song was from a true heart ,nothing else.
Jan 8th. Anniversary of his passing
Loved his beautiful deep baritone voice. May He Rest In Peace
A real country singer & cowboy. Nowadays Nashville wouldn't have a thing to do with him. Country music will never be the same- the 70's & 80's were the best.
That's for sure. Same goes for good politicians. Very few left.
@@jrogertrudel6356 People forget Nashville did not want anything to do with the Outlaws even then.
No, the 70s and 80s were the last of the best, a downturn that ended the great American class of music. It consisted of bluegrass, country, western, and soul. It was uniquely American a class of music that will never be duplicated.
this can be played over and over...love it
You're right, Diana! I do just that!
Yeap
For years I thought this was Waylon Jennings, years ago I found out about Ed Bruce....the most underrated country writers of all time!
You just can't beat the old
texas country singers
he is actually from Northern Arkansas a little town called Statesville which about 5 miles from the Mississippi River and 30 miles south of Arkansas/Missouri line. but he does sound a lot like he is from Texas and Tennessee mix

@@davidalexander828 your right he was born in Keiser Arkansas so wasn’t my dad
Now that's what you call Country Music.
What a voice. Loving listening to Ed Bruce.

Robert Bales You forgot The Hag,Best of them all
+matthew hayes Merle Haggard got his start in prison. I don't think that Merle Haggard really came from the Midwest...
Love Ed Bruce - real country !!!!!
I was a young trucker when this song came out, I loved listening to DEAL country while on the road weeks at a time, retired now, old 76 KW, 400 Cummins in the barn restin' for show only!
Would love to see that old rig!
75 yrs old and still listen your music ,the best eve
What an incredible voice this underappreciated man has! I could listen to this song once every hour for the rest of my life, I think. My very favorite song of all time! I only wish his CD of "The Best of Ed Bruce" was not so expensive!
Ed Bruce's voice is amazing. I'm a Texan who gets chills when I hear this song. Love this song.
David Amos me too
Same here
David Amos I’m a Ontarian who gets chills
From this song, people in Canada love western music
His voice sounds like Waylon Jennings!!!
Andrew batista the original mamas don’t let your boys grow up to be cowboys, he’s amazing
So sad if he passed away today as reported by Google . I love all his songs. So sad😔😔
Tremendous Classic Country tune and voice, thanks Mr. Bruce !!
Just got word that Ed Bruce passed away today. A really great singer with a super smooth voice.
Just dosen't get any better than this, great song and done by a great singer.
Sad to see this country legend pass.
RIP a great singer/songwriter.

I was born in the 90's still love this old country. I agree it is better then the new stuff, though I do like much of the new stuff
Oke, but still: COUNTRY MUSIC is to-day's Music and will always be -ON THE MOVE-
Today's country music (if you can call it that!) sucks! This old stuff is where it is!
real country
Richard Stone , you're 100% correct. This kind of music is where what is all about
A star has fallen from Texas..The Canadians know the loss every friend you ever had feels.
We will see you Ed on the other side, RIP old friend.
I’m from Canada. Love this mans voice. Me and my wife spend a month or six weeks in Texas in the winter. Love going to luckenbach tx. Listen to the locals. Ed Bruce rest in piece.
This is what we call music, the voice, drums and perfect guitar
Rest in peace Ed.
You've gone to Texas.
Thank you sweet Lord for Ed.
True country gent, beautiful song. R.I.P. Ed Bruce you will be sorely missed.
Proud native Texan. Our great state has always produced the best singers. Country songs today can't compare to the 70s or 80s
Real Country!!!
Ed Bruce is Legend singer what a great words says every thing romantic song give you great peace of mind to listen great guy.
Hello friend, how are you doing today today...
I loved his music and it was evident from my listeners they loved him too. From Melbourne Florida, Goldsboro North Carolina, Mobile Alabama and others in the 70s and 80s, Ed Bruce was loved and will be missed. Thanks Ed
Charlie Monk...play me some Ed Bruce!
I love this mans voice and he will always be a sweet reminder of better times and much better music.
Ed Bruce is among some of my all time favorites. I love all his music. The good stuff.
+Michael Daugherty Good actor also. One of the original cowboy's from the movie set of my day.
+Michael Small Yes he is. The last cowboy song is among one of my all time favorites. My first taste of Texas, I also love this song.
I feel the same.
Ed Bruce & Merle Haggard are the two best in my opinion!
Thank you for the music and the memories. Rest in peace Ed.
R.I.P. a great American Legend
Remember this song as a kid. I was born and raised in Texas and still live there. God bless the Great State of Texas
R.I.P Ed Bruce you’ll always be a legend in my book
