Or a better place because

no explosions, no fancy stages, no dancing lights or naked girls, just a man with his guitar captivating you with his music. If your ever around a fire with a bunch of tailgates backed up to it and Don comes on the radio it always seems like the chitter chatter dies down and people go to a different time of their lives. now that's talent

My father loved this song and it always reminds me of him when I heard it. I guess it is a Southern thing. I spent years running away from my roots, but a few notes of this and I can see light'n bugs, screen porches and my dad.

Hi Joan hope you’re okay?

America is where it is in 2023 because we dont have enough Good Ole Boys anymore

This is perhaps one of the most beautiful songs ever written and sung. I was 12 years old when I first heard it and I remember thinking people will love this song 50 years from now. Well its been over 30 years now for me and I now I'm thinking long past 50.

Rest in Peace Don Williams. Thank you for all the beautiful music.

Humanity could make music for a thousand more years....it would not approach this on any level - musically, emotionally, inspirationally....masterpiece

Don Williams has a voice like smooth butter.

These Williams boys, they still mean a lot to me; Hank, Don and Tennessee....

Don had one of the finest voices in music , nothing made today comes close.

One of the most beautiful voices in country music

Don Williams- No Frills: Just great voice, great songs.

Saw him in 2000 at a venue with no more than 150 people. I will never forget this live. when muisc had soul.

Smooth. A country intellectual. I'll just line up with all of the others old ladies who swoon.

you are the best country singer in history

i can remember when i was a kid, my dad used to play alot of don williams on his guitar.... i wish country music was still this good

Omg!!! Every time I listens to Don William, it always makes me think home. & this nostalgic feelings and loneliness took over. a lot of childhood memories; when you were all young, with your sisters & brothers eating together while parent took care of things.. Thank you for sharing this song..

This is a great song. Not only is the person a southernor but an intellectual. How many southern men appreciate Thomas Wolfe and Tenessee Williams. A truely great song with wonderful lyrics.

Every time I listen to him I think of my Dad. He loved Don. We were lucky enough to see him live together.

Timeless! This is one of my all time favorite songs.

Growing up in the 80s and 90s my grandmother filled our home with the music of Don Williams, Merle Haggard, The Statler Brothers, Marty Robins, etc… I miss those days

I know what to do for you, Don. Honor your passing, and wish you were still here. Rest easy Don!

My dad wore out an 8 track player on this album, I wore out a cassette player on this album! Now my son is doing his best to wear out a CD player on it. No matter how many years go by Don's music touches people somewhere deep.

Another great song by the wonderful Don Williams! Rest in peace and God bless everyone

Hi Pamela hope you’re okay?

If you go to one of his concerts today, close your eyes and you can be taken back to 1978. The man comes on stage, sits on that same tan chair, strums and sings. His voice is clear and sharp as it was in '78. He captivates his crowd and you would think they passed out lyrics to everyone. as they all sing along. we saw Don a few months back, and will go again the next time in town.

amongst all the "noise" in current music industry , your ears just crave for songs like these :)

Since I was 5 my dad and I would listen to Don in the car we had his greatest hits. I'm now 37 and I'm still loving his music. THANK U Don.

I love to listen to this guy. I went to see him in concert a few months ago. I'm still sad that it is his last tour. Thank goodness for youtube and iTunes!

Just saw Don tonight in concert, and he was AMAZING... sounds just as good tonight as he did 30 years ago... and his songs are true to the heart.... LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!

Don Williams. I can imagine him setting on my couch with his guitar. He has such a relaxed style.

My favorite Don Williams song. Strong memory of listening to this on a barstool in the late 70's.

This song always makes me think of spending summers with my grandparents in Tennessee.

Possibly the most literate song in the history of country music. Not a typical love song/drinkin' song/train song, etc. (and I have nothing against those by the way) but this is a song about identity, about southern culture, with literary references and poetic language that is not normally heard in the typical country...an extraordinary piece of work, and well and sincerely performed by Don Williams, Remarkable song for its time and it has stood the test of time beautifully.

Truly the finest Country Gentlemen Singers ever to grace our ears!

This just might be the greatest country song ever written. It certainly has to be at least in the Top 10. What a classic !!! And Don's delivery is SO great. The lyrics are a LOt deeper than most music these days. This was written by Bob McDill, right? Anyone familiar with his tunes ?

Wish they made songs like this again!

Don was one of the first artists I remember as a child. Still love his music!

legend.i'm in that bedroom I smell that jasmine. dons voice can transport you.magic.

Don Williams had the most beautiful country voice ... Sounds like love pouring out of his heart.

Hi Dorcas hope you’re okay ?

Something about the voice spoke to a serene sanity in a world in short supply of that. So many country songs make you feel a part of a family. This song as a youngster was the equivalent of advice from John Walton to me. A Simple, Proud, Respect - filled declaration of the common man.

Don Williams was my dad's favorite country singer. I remember hearing his music on car trips to Oklahoma and Texas. Great memories. Thank you Don Williams for your wonderful gift, and your ability to touch the human heart.

This is what country music is all about.....melody, great lyrics, and a very very rich voice to melt u away. Not many now can match this. I have always loved u Don, I ans I always will. Hope to see u again soon.

Melted butter....one of the most liquid and flowing voices on the planet....He can actually sing a melodic tune...not many of those around these days.....

Old music never been get old always new to listening.

those who gave this a thumbs down are fools. dont care where you are or come from you gotta love don

Great voice. Good lyrics. Home grown Southern music. Doesn't get any better.

Wow, this took me back 25+ years instantly and I couldn't help but smile throughout

Very fond memories of wearing out his 8 track helping my mom make bread in the kitchen when I was a young girl. Loved Amanda❣

This my favorite Don Williams song.He's got the smoothest voice since Jim Reeves.Love them both.Should have been a hall of famer along time ago glad to see he finally made it!!

I already miss my good ole boy Don... Love you n RIP

If you grew up in the South & you're at least 50 years young, then, this is about the best tune ever written, period.

Love don Williams always makes me remember my grandad always playing this great man

He is my favorite artist. I grew up listening to his songs every night. I thank God for my mother for exposing to Don Williams' song to put me to sleep, every night. He is the greatest.

Another great one passed. You will be missed. RIP Don.

The Gentle Giant they called him....he was a real good ol boy. A good family man. 1 of the greatest entertainers to listen to LIVE! EVEN AT 70 YRS OLD WHEN I SAW HIM HE WAS FLAWLESS! CRYSTAL CLEAR UNMISTAKEABLE DON WILLIAMS!

Absolutely one of my late dad's favorite, he made it mine too. Its been 19 yrs since you left...n we miss you. But this one's for you dad, rest in peace until we meet again!!!!!

I really would love to see him He is awesome Been listening to his music for a long time

I remember as a kid lying in bed back in the 70's listening to a little AM transistor radio. "WMAQ is gonna make you rich!" Don's voice never failed to relax me.

RIP Don... you will definitely be missed. Another great voice stilled.

Thanks for posting this one of my favorites by this great man, Long Live D.W.

Someday, hopefully!!! Have listened to him for about 40 years ago - his songs are some of the most gentle and moving songs ever written or performed!!! He always makes me smile inside and out!!!

I talked to Don Williams back in the late 80s. I worked for AT&T and I took a call one night from a Mr. Don Williams. I was 18 years old and I was all country when country was "uncool." Most teenagers wouldn't have recognized the name or the voice, but I about passed out. I asked him "is this 'THE' Don Williams" and he said "why yes it is sugar, and how would you know about me" and I told him I'd been listening to him all my life. we went on for a few, best night ever on my job! Love that man!!!

A song of the south....Personified !

God bless Mr Williams... Amazing voice

RIP Don, You were one of the best. This song touched my soul. Right there with Merle Haggard... Your songs told such a story, a story about our lives..

God bless you, Mr. Williams. I will miss you. Your songs mean a lot to me.
