Gene Watson - Staying Together Lyrics
We do it for the children down the hall
Neither one of us could stand to see them cry
We do it for your mom and dad
There's more hearts to think about than yours and mine
We both know better
When it comes to me and you
There ain't nothing sadder
There ain't nothing colder
Staying together don't mean it ain't over
People say that we're the perfect pair
They ain't seen us sleeping in our separate beds
We still talk like there ain't nothing wrong
But now love's the only word that's never said
Staying together is what we're supposed to do
We both know better
When it comes to me and you
There ain't nothing sadder
There ain't nothing colder
Staying together don't mean it ain't over
There ain't nothing sadder
There ain't nothing colder
Staying together don't mean it ain't over

Gene Watson Staying Together Comments
Love both Gene and Rhonda thanks great . Together 2019 beautiful God bless both good song July. Love Gene thanks
this sure beats the new garbage they call country !!!!!
Great duet and video concept
I think I made up my mind..this is my absolute favorite of all Gene and Rhonda duets... I think...maybe...love it.
I love this song and I especially love the two of these voices complimenting each other the way they do. One of the very best iconic country songs sung by two of the best country singers.
Why is he not in the Hall of Fame ????????????
So very good together love this song thanks for this one pure country

Love the song
Amazingly beautiful....now this is REAL country music❤️❤️🎶
the best singer I have ever hear real country music
I live in athens, 39 miles from Palestine texas
Boy I wish missed my chance
Perfect duet lovely song.
voices are incredibly great
me gusta sus melodias Gene Watson
wonderful
Dam how true!
neither one of these great singers gets or got the credit or recognition they should
Amen Sister! I have worked with Rhonda at our Bluegrass Festival at Grass Valley CA several times, she's a gifted performer, and band leader. Perhaps best of all is her professional and personal way of working with a producer. I have worked with many of the top acts in both Bluegrass and Country Music, some are equal to her her work ethic and talent, but I have never seen anyone exceed here in these areas, Working with her from the booking process and her working with the stage managers, right down to her emphasis on meeting her fans. are as good as they get. Lots of folks put on a good show but are a pain in the butt to work with, Rhonda could give lessons in professionalism. I worked the Festival for about 20 years, no one was easier to work with or put on a better show.

I think Gene is one of the best, and he and Rhonda sound perfect together.
Love these two together
Here I am again, still loving song. These two are amazing...
Perfection
BEAUTIFUL .....
Ja den er flott.

@Ingebjorg Mosberg JA enig

Ii donn
Beautiful !!!
I will see you both twice this year. WOW. Fantastic duo. What country is not today. THis is better than the junk on the radio.
I must play this ten times a day. Incredible duet.
I love this song, although it is very sad.
Geweldig !
very sad song
Impresionante, muy buena.
This typifies a great country song. Back in the day, this song would've been a number 1 hit and would've stayed on the charts for weeks.
It can't get better than this....!
after hearing this, I need a beer!! pure country!!!
Gene is from Palestine Texas, and we sure are proud of him. His and Rhondas voices sure do sound sweet together.
the best
~Sad truth for so many of us~
Two of my favorite singers together! It don't get much better than this!!
That's for sure. Their voices are amazing.
I might as well not have a radio in my car....I listen to true country on CD's when I'm driving. There's nothing better!
Said it once and I'll shout it again. Gene put his heart and soul into a song, Nobody sounds better. Lovin it in AZ.
I agree a hundred percent. I just gave up on radio and listen to cd's and classic and true country on the computer now.
awesome
I would love to slow dance to this one. It tugs at the heart.
Gene Watson and Rhonda Vincent are great together. Neither have ever gotten the recognition they deserve. I would love to see the two of them in person.
Nice duet perfect
Gene never was one to go on tour and he still had a ton of hits...just goes to show even without the name recognition that touring and tv bring his voice still shined.
Love ole' Gene Watson,, and just started listening to Rhonda Vincent,, she's got the voice for Gene's duet!! Very Good.....bkcarey
I met both Gene and Rhonda in Nashville... great folks...very talented! Too bad that such good talent such as these folks are crowded off of country radio for country pop. I think that they should brand modern country stations as country pop and bring back real country music for today's times.
He is one of the best!!
love this
Nashville needs to wake up and get back to real country music like this instead of the crap on the radio now they call country.
Love the duets
Great!!
They sound perfect together.
Gene....Patricia....OMG!....I-lived this...once....for 7 years....and I,could've written this song.....it's so true....and so right....ya' made a beautiful-perfect-video.....and I, did...so-feel it....through tears....Absolutely wonderful....xo.....Deborah Cooper...Nov.9, 2012
Beautiful. I have loved Gene Watson for years but I think this may be one of my all time favorites.
She is so pretty and there so good together
Awesome song .real country music.
Perhaps the best country duet in the country. Love em.
I've been a lead singer/frontman since 1987 and I agree 100%. What a total and inconceivable injustice!!
I've never worked in a club where Gene's music wasn't a hit (and in this case Rhonda is the "crowning jewel". If you like country music, it just doesn't get any better than this folks.
I've met and talked to Gene on several occasions and he's such a nice guy......it just seems impossible that he's received so little credit for his contributions to the country music industry.
These two are so awesome when they sing duets together
@Brit1234ish Then you wouldn't know country music if it bit you in the ass.
Your right you can't get songs like this on the nradio much anymore
Fantastic!!!! This is real country music. You can't hear it on the radio anymore. It is too country. Radio country is all JUNK. This is the real deal. I would like to see Rhonda & gene together this year hopefully. Rhonda is coming to our Bluegrass show on July 15th in New Enterprise Pa. Can't wait. Rhonda is always a great performer,very talented. My son and I went to see her in Berryville Va Nov7th 2010, and ended up taking her to the grocery store in my pickup. That was real COOL!!!
My question is when will they put this on radio? They won't. They have forgotten what REAL country music is. And how was Gene Watson and Vern Gosdin always overlooked?
Just went to a show this week he is the greatist
Just went to a show this week in Hiawassee Ga love love love him
I really don;t care for Rhonda Vincent. Everyone thinks she is so great with Gene, I don't
I love this, Gene and Rhonda, its so great they will be the bast for evewr.
This perhaps one of Gene`s best.
A fantastic song....
Now THIS is what true COUNTRY music sounds like. Not some of the schlock on country radio today just because the singer (and I use the term very loosey) is young-n-sexy.
a great country song !!!! olecroc
I seen gene a couple of times and he is just a great guy. He still puts on a great show and classic country needs to be heard more often. And this new material is classic already as far as I'm concerned!
I just went to a Gene Watson concert in Branson and Rhonda was there - they have a duet CD out now
WAS A GREAT CONCERT!
nice harmony... love it thank you for this post
Just heard this for the first time.... Now that's Country,,,, Amazing,
Wow! There voices melt together like butter....Gene Watson is an amazing singer..Rhonda is wonderful!!!Why haven't we heard more of this song.? To Country for the radio stations....The new music is not country!!! Its o.k but it is not real country..Love This...
you can say that again. I could could sleep by this every night
I know first hand the pain
This is how traditional country love songs are done right! This one's tops for me. Rhonda Vincent also does an awesome blue grass version of Jolene(Dolly). Her voice blows me away!!
COUNTRY STILL LIVES!!!!!!!! JUST NOT ON TODAY'S RADIO. IT IS WRONG
GREAT SONG AND GREAT SINGING REAL MUSIC NOT LIKE TODAYS NOISE THEY DO RATE AS COUNTRY DUO
@brunester1 Love that line: THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH.
what a delightfully light-hearted song! lol
that is a dang good new song...you go guys! thanks for posting! GB
Such a beautiful blend of voices. Rhonda and Gene both are both awesome!!!
the best country song keep good work ronda and gene
Here I am again. Just love this song. Oh so many memories been there and done that
several years ago.God what a GREAT song, neither of them just can't make a bad song.
DAMN what harmony
I recall setting in a Song Critique meeting at MCA in 1985, and being told my Song was to Country, she didn't like the words Misery and Leaving, because she had just went through a Divorce. I reminded her this was Nashville, not LA Rock Music City as they had been trying to turn it into and why all the Country Labels were in the Red. They is only ONE Country Singer/ Songwrite out on the "A" List, and that was a New Man named Randy Travis, and then I got up and walked out. Thank you Randy, etc.
I've not seen this vocal pairing prior to this great video. And a great song by two great artists.
Gene Watson can't do anything wrong
Love these two singers together!! Just beautiful. I'm hoping they continue recording together.
Rhonda V is my favorite girl singer. Gene is great on his own, but Rhonda takes him up a notch. This song ranks up there with the best in C&W music.
Good job guys!!
This is wonderful. Gene Watson is a favorite, so is Rhonda, and they blend so beautifully. Thanks so much for sharing this. Loved it. Gwen
Two incrediable singers that got together to make a fantastic song, god bless you Gene and Rhonda.
Youtube needs to add more stars. Five ain't even close.
