Just as I am without one plea but that Thy blood was shed for me

    I’ve read that he wrote “Always wanting you” for her. Hadn’t heard about this one though.

    Great Song With Real Substance & Meaning Thanks Brent Yep That is what tru country music is about Most this New pop Crap they call Country Don't Even come close To the Real Song's & feelings Of real Country music !!!!

    l.... ....

    latokatn506 FIRST OFF I NORMALLY DO NOT DISRESPECT MY ELDERS. AND FROM THE LOOKS OF YOUR PICTURE YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO.BE MY GRANDMA. BUT AFTER READING YOUR GARBAGE OF A DISRESPECTFUL COMMENT I FELT LIKE I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING. FIRST OFF OLD BAT TODAY'S COUNTRY IS AS FAR FROM.POP AS YOU CAN GET. IT IS EQUALLY AS COUNTRY AS ANYTHING FROM MERLE HAGGARD. YOU THINK TODAY'S COUNTRY IS POP THAT MEANS YOU THINK MERLE IS POP. SECOND OF ALL TODAY'S COUNTRY IS AS FAR FROM CRAP AS YOU CAN GET. ALL OF IT FROM TODAY 100% WHETHER TALENTED OR SUCKY PEOPLE ARE ALL REAL COUNTRY. BUT THERE ARE SOME REAL SHITTY PEOPLE AS WELL THAT WILL NEVER COME CLOSE TO.HAVING TALENT AND THOSE PEOPLE ARS CHRIS SHITPELTON RASCAL FLATS KEITH URBAN DAN AND SHAY FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE JOHN PARTY AND HUNTER HAYES. OTHER THAN THAT WHOEVER ELSE IS ON THE COUNTRY RADIO THESE DAYS ARE EQUALLY AS TALENTED AS MERLE HAGGARD AND THEY'RE EQUALLY AS COUNTRY AS MERLE HAGGARD. IT IS ALL REAL COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T INVENTED FAKE COUNTRY YET YOU ASSHOLE. AND YES NEW COUNTRY DOES HAVE EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING THIS SONG HAS. ALL NEW COUNTRY HAS SUBSTANCE. ALL NEW COUNTRY HAS FEELING. ANYTHING YOU SAY THIS SONG HAS ALL OF NEW COUNTRY HAS IT JUST AS MUCH AS THIS SONG DOES.

  29. J.... ....

    Great song, Brent :-) Have a wonderful day.....Jenny ☼

    J.... ....

    +JennysCountryChannel Thanks for listening and enjoying this song Jenny. Have a wonderful day :)

  30. B.... C....

    I've said it before, I believe Merle Haggard could sing the phone book....he's that good.....

    B.... C....

    +BILL CLIFFORD I agree Bill! His voice is simply amazing. He could sing anything perfectly easily.

  31. K.... S....

    Kedves Brent!
    Nagyon tetszett ez a gyönyörű dal, Mindig szívesen hallgatom ezt a csodálatos művészt.
    További kellemes napot kívánok. Üdvözletem Budapestről Klára.

    K.... S....

    +Károlyné Szépvölgyi Thanks for listening and enjoying this song and this singer Klara!

  32. s.... ....

    It's always great to discover a tune by The Hag that I haven't heard before. Thanks Brent!!!

    s.... ....

    +shuffle877 You're very welcome. This was a new one to me too when I was listening to this old bootleg concert recording. Such a great song.

  33. B.... ....

    Hi Brent, liking this from the great Mr Haggard, nice one, John

    B.... ....

    +bjay1956 Glad you like it John. I appreciate your listening.

  34. L.... K....

    He thanks for goods song '

    L.... K....

    +Lola Koenig Thanks for listening Lola!

  35. l.... ....

    The Hag greatest Tru Country Singer IMO Thanks Brent

    l.... ....

    Yep Brent The Hag One Super Tru Country Talent  Ain't No Faking Pop < I saw A On the Inter net News What he said about this Pop Crap Taking over Our Music  He Must have been reading some my  comments  About No Substance in the Crap they Write !!! But The Kids Don't Know Any Better About True Country 

    l.... ....

    +latokatn506 Yeah! He knows and agrees for sure! Him and other talented songwriters and singers sang songs and presented true life feelings and problems people could relate to! These new country fools just want teenagers to relate to the same thing in every song - havin' fun, tailgates of pickup trucks, bonfires in the field, back roads, etc etc. Where's the feeling? Where's the substance?!

    l.... ....

    latokatn506 true not tru dummy. Learn to spell. Also I reported your first comment that was at the top.of the page as a hate speech because of how DISRESPECTFUL you were towards today's country. As a HUGE fan of new and old country depending on who the artist is I had to report your disrespectful comment. Also your use of unnecessary capital letters is very pathetic. 99% of your comments didn't need a single capital letter at all. You need major help. I am only 24 but I have.been a therapist for four years and won SEVERAL awards and accomplishments in my short career. Maybe you can make an appointment to come see me where I work at in Tennessee and I can give you all the help you need

    l.... ....

    latokatn506 Making Fun Of You When I Type This You Know The First Letter Of Every Damn Word Ain't Gotta Be Capitalized Right. Also Jason aldean Luke Bryan and Sam hunt are just three of the recent country stars that are as far from pop as you can get and they are all EQUALLY as talented and as country as anything from.merle Haggard. You will NEVER find ANYTHING close to pop in today's country.

    l.... ....

    In my opinion Johnny Cash is the best.

  36. I.... C....

    Such a beautiful song, love it!!! Thank you Brent!

    I.... C....

    +Irene Ch'ng You're very welcome Irene! Glad you enjoyed it.

    I.... C....

    Love Merle singing. Legend
