    Took over 30 yrs to put there uncle in the country music hall of fame. Shame on them. Keith Whitley didn't need country music, country music needed Keith Whitley

    I've tried to do some research on John Whitley, but all that comes up on google is info on Keith Whitley. Any info on John's life would be appreciated.

      Not 100% but I think David Allen Coe wrote the song, if true its great cover! Wish there was more of him out there to listen too.

    I haven’t seen these videos before and I loved John and Mike like my own brothers. I’ve never felt more at home than at Dwight and Flo’s even falling asleep on the couch and snoring so load that Mike Dwight and Flo couldn’t hear the tv😢 I’m so blessed to have known and loved the whole family but I grieve daily for them.

    It's a shame how much loss the Whitley's have suffered. Very talented family, but somehow they seem to be cursed with losing family members way too early.

    Powerful as all hell.. John Whitley is amazing. That voice and that charm, just sitting on the fireplace strumming with the family. He must've wrote this?

    I told you to leave, now I (A)cant believe you're gone
    (D)I'm in pain but (D7)I just cant blame (G)you(F7/6)
    (D)I'm suffering from a (A)self inflicted (D)wound

    Well I'm (D)gone, long (D7)gone, if (G)you don't come back (E7)soon
    I'm (D)dying from a (A)self inflicted (D)wound
    When I hurt myself, I do it right
    I'm fading fast and I may not last the night
    When I'm gone you can chisel it on my tomb
    He left with a self inflicted wound
    Well I went and broke my heart all by myself
    But its never gonna heal without your help
    Well I'm gone, long gone, if you don't come back soon
    I'm dying, slowly dying, from a self inflicted wound
