I heard this song in a honky tonk in Tulsa then I was 19. The girl I was trolling the dance floor with walked off and I just stood there and listened. I had never had a song touch me like that. 20 years later, it still gets me. God bless you Chris. You told a young blue collar boy that he wasn't alone feeling that way.

Chris knight was the man when I was In High school. Where did the time go.

Slaughters, Kentucky's favorite son. What a jewel!

Christ Knight is a hero of the working class. He is absolutely perfect.

This man is one of the best songwriters of his generation. Has me in awe of where all of these "poems" come from? Being from Muhlenberg Co and growing up on the Green River and with coal mining in my life, makes me feel a connection to him as well..... Met him once in Madisonville at an acoustic concert and got his set sheet signed by him.....one of my favorite memories. If you ever read these Chris.... Thank You for adding all of these songs and memories into the soundtrack of my life.

One of the best songs ever written and performed, just perfect!

Agreed. He connects with the bad yet human side of so many people that relate to the lyrics in a personal way even if they don't want to because it may confirm what they know the whole time but try to deny. The lyrics to this song , might be his best but, for me, the best song/story has to be Down the River. The emotion and how the story unfolds is fantastic.

I, for over what feels like twenty years keep coming back to the classic that will never die. It somehow brings me out of dark thoughts. I dont understand it and I dont question it. I seek Mr Knight and the town of sorryville when my chips are down and being tossed in a wood chipper. Thank you for making this song. Its perfect.

Can't believe I got onto Chris Knight so late in the game. "Old Man" came across one of my Pandora stations about a year ago and I've been a fan ever since. This guy is the real deal. We all need singers and songwriters we can believe in.

You don’t hear the good stuff on the radio anymore because the executives only care about how many units they can sell to 15 year old teenie-bopper girls. They aren’t interested in the art. The little girls want metrosexual boy bands with highlights in their spikey-hair.

CK is the best songwriter in the business bar none. If you get a chance to see him perform live don’t miss it.

If you played this song on a popular country music station everyone's ears would explode because they have been conditioned to think what is played today is "country music."

Can he get a like for all us rural folks plz. God's country here in eastern Oregon 🙂

I had the pleasure of meeting him 12 years ago when he was passing through upstate ny. He was invited to play at a local tavern with his bass player, they played a few dozen songs for a bar crowd at the Ale House in Troy NY , he had met the owner of the bar on a flight through Albany , he had a layover for the night so he accepted the invitation and appeared a few hrs later , I was lucky to be eating lunch when I heard of his playing there that evening, talk about being at the right place at the right time., this video along with "Framed " was popular on CMT and GAC music stations at the time, he stood for photos with me afterwards and signed the half dozen cd o had at the time for me @ n/c , we talked about hunting and fishing and of course my admiration for him and the music he brings to the country music world. Nicest artist you'll ever meet. I hope like hell he passes through again.

Remember that song by Montgomery Gentry, She Couldn't Change Me? Yeah, Chris Knight wrote that, too.

ONE OF THE BEST SINGER SONG WRITERS OF ALL TIME #REALCOUNTRYMUSIC

I remember getting introduced to this tune on CMT’s show “Jammin’ Country”. They use to air the kinda stuff you don’t hear on the radio. This is real country music. All the bro-country, hick-hop phonies need to take note.

Seen him 23 times. From as far back as i can get..still awsome

Awesome! Probably my favorite song by Chris Knight.

Might be his best, stellar lyrics!! I still remember the first time I heard it cruising on the Ohio River somewhere between Louisville and Owensboro KY. Lifelong hillbilly anthem!!!

Saw Chris live tonight. It was a blessing, wished I could have seen him in his prime though…

This is real, Music! Mr. Knight puts pen to paper with his heart bleeding through the ink. Stay true my friend!

His first album. Every song amazing. Remember hearing it on cmt breakthrough artists and having to order American import costing me £20... As a school boy a few years ago that was a lot of money but worth it and every album since
