I learned about Earl Thomas Conley when I saw Blake Shelton win a big award at the CMA’s and he said that he was giving it to Earl’s family because Earl did not win any of those and he was so deserving to win for his songwriting. Very gracious of Blake.

The first time I heard this song I was in the middle of a 22 year relationship with a well known married man. This was before social media and one night he brought me this CD and told me this song said exactly how he felt. He was a rock star so I don't know how he discovered a country song but after I listened to it, we held each other and cried. That was several years ago but I still cry when I hear it

Wow a true country legend ❤

Rest in Peace ETC-You had some great songs out and this one is one of my favorites

In his eyes you can tell, He meant every word he sang. And I have to admit, so did I as I sang along.

“If she’d give me one good reason I’d be gone, but she ain’t done one thing wrong.” Might be the simplest and best lyric ever written on this topic. So relatable. I dated my high school sweetheart for 4 years. I spent the last two of those years hoping for a reason to leave. She never gave me one. I finally had the courage to end things. It broke her heart, and I didn’t want to break anyone’s heart.

one of the best country singers I've ever had the privilege to know. ..Miss you my friend

I've loved this song since it was released, when I was in high school. The conflict of emotions, the triumph of conviction over passion, the beautiful lyrics, the delivery...everything about it is perfect. Well done, sir.

This may be the best damn country song ever.

Hi Sue, how are you doing

Earl felt every word of this song, you can feel the pain in his voice. Some singers will sing a song like this with a smile on their face, and it destroys it for me, you can tell they're just singing words and haven't lived the song.

Oh Lord, I can't bear to see his soulful and teary eyes 😭😪

So sad to learn of Earl Thomas Conley's death. Another great is gone. 💔

What happened to him. How did he pass away what was wrong with him I didn't hear it on the news or anyting. When he would come to Laughlin Nevada. I worked up in the Starview room and the dawn celebrity theater serving cocktails at his concerts. He was awesome Ray Price Merle Haggard and I can go on. I'm so sad he's gone. If you can let me know what happened to him. I would greatly appreciate it

I heard this for the first time today and loved it right away. I feel like the lyrics could have two meanings. One, he's talking to the mistress about how he can't walk out on his wife even though he likes the side chick more. BUT, number two, he could be talking to his wife about how the side chick was great for him, but he loves his wife and won't leave her for a girl from before. It works both ways if you give it enough leeway.

This guy has a voice like no other "Country" singer.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

why are you so concerned about everyone else's love affairs ?

The breaks in his voice as he sings this. You can feel the pain of telling these words to someone.

by all things holy.. .this song came into my life 20 years ago.. when I was 29yrs old.. .i know God gave it to me ..he knew I would have to have it to have any chance to out run heart ache and possibly worse... this song...these words. .it could not be more perfect. . it hit me square in the chest head on collision at 175 mph...cant say I'm living...i survived until last Saturday...then in a moment...God sent me a Angel. through my phone... 20 plus years later...after over a d3cade of silence...11 plus years since I've seen her golden wings...and in a moment 20 years of darkness pain begging that man in the black cape to deliver me through this needle and out of this hell I wouldn't dig myself out of... a phone call ...prayer and hope ..she brought my heart beat back and a soul cleansing cry I can't explain has me ready to do all I must...for me..for her...out of the darkness and hate...into the light and life..she holds it all in her hand.... and I won't stop ...i refuse to fail. .this woman woke a sleeping giant...she xantt possibly know how hot and fierce this fire still burns 20 plus years later.... I hope when she stands before me she's ready..i pray she's got her dark shades and she don't look directly in my eyes cuz when she appears in full view of my eyes a nuclear cloud Will erupt drom from this monster and a mountain of love is gonna burst....yes I warned her. I can't hold back...i told her on that day you will need a change of clothes...behind that mountain of love will be me of course..and when her heart touches mine.. I hope she can forgive me. next she's gonna be covered in my tears of joy and a wall of snot I can't believe my nose hasn't straight just gave up and fell off yet... .you are my everything.. .my one and only you only run into this love in a lifetime if you are lucky.. God kept me around My seether woman...8ve been reborn..lets both get ready

I Agree Brinng Back Real Country !🤠❤

RIP Earl Thomas Your music Live On 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Where did this type of music go this music of yesteryear had so much heart and soul in it, it had backbone it had the most talented people on the planet singing it the words were brilliant was composed masterfully today's music is so trashy that it's destructive to even listen to
