You are natural and romantic you always fill my face with smiles and my heart with happiness. I can't just stay the day without playing your song Alan and I therefore, recommend you as the best and the #1 country singer and song writer in the world. I wish you was in Africa ... You know what I mean
Reminds me of my dad he played guitar and sang solo, he was a personable had many friends, filled our little gymnasium, not a walk behinder. A leader he just had a way of singing, those glad ole songs, I love you dad.
Thank you so much, Lanie! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'll keep on making music from the heart.
Man ... how can a song be so sad but so happy. This song makes you want to hug your kids, cry over old pictures, think of memories, and just immediately appreciate what is truly important.
Thank you so much, Judith! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'll keep on making music from the heart.
At one time I was so concerned about country music. I grew up with both Hank's the Hag the man in black and obviously the possum,Roy Clark Loretta Lynn Dolly Parton and several others. But after awhile I started hearing these new country artist singing. I was disappointed to say the least. Then while driving to work one day I heard the DJ say and here's a new country music artist that's coming on strong here's Alan Jackson. I was immediately hooked. Alan Jackson and George Strait keep country music going. But who's next people? In other words who's going to fill their shoes?
First time hear Alan Jackson on radio Stations, just know he was going To Top of Record charts. Truly amazing music artist. Hank Williams Jr Written beautifully song
Alan is probably the only artist that could have done this and not have written it. Looks like Hank was enjoying it no doubt. Respect and love to both.
Boy this song brings out some country music magic. I have said this before, it was like a country music torch was passed between two gentlemen of Country Music. From one legend to another. Thank you and GOD bless Mr. Jackson and Rest In Peace Mr. Jones.
I only deal in facts. Alan Jackson is definitely one of country music's greatest. If not the greatest living anyway. Don't disagree because I'm always right.😜
He just sitting there really looking because the song is hitting him the memories plus he kns Alan is one he'll of a job on his song 🎵 you go Alan my man. Now I like Hank too can't leave him out its his song 🥰👌👍
BEAUITFUL AMAZING 👏 😍 🙌 ❤ LOVE WINDERFUL SONG BLUES SONGITS MUSIC SUONDS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME 👌 AND LOVELYTHEY BOTHE GREAT, GREAT HITS CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 💐 FANTASTIC
What , a Very Beautiful Country Song !! it's a Very Special Blues song !! Only Mr. Jackson can sing all these Fantastic Country Songs , !!! Thank You Mr.Alan Jackson for Sharing this Very Sentimental & Precious song with us all ,good Country music that is so Very True too!!! Lisa Hinrichs 💘💞💫💌💫💫💞
Thank you so much, Pat! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'll keep on making music from the heart.
recently saw him in concert in Phoenix. Still an incredible performer. Sad that his neurological disorder is affecting his walking but his voice is still as beautiful as ever. Love Alan Jackson's music. It was bitter sweet for me since I brought my sister who is battling cancer for the 2nd time. She also had to lean on me for support to walk the stairs due to severe neuropathy in her legs. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to bring her to Alan's last tour concert. She's still fighting and we're praying for remission.
I seen him in Lexington for my 30th birthday and it was the best/saddest time of my life. I’ve seen so many 90s artists and saved him for last and cried like a little boy seeing my hero getting old and slowing down. Truly blessed I got to see him. I know I had one more for the road for Alan!
Thank you so much, Klara! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'll keep on making music from the heart.
Man do I like this song and with a Marine Corp Highball glass filled up just right with a little sipping whiskey. Looks like Hank Jr. like this song almost as much as Me. TC & GB Enjoy the Ride Alan !
I'll give anything to see Alan in concert,, but he's never given a concert in the places I have been at the time, hope to see you in Honolulu sometime aloha 😎
My husband sang karaokes. He's was awesome. He always sang to me. This was one of his best. In loving memory of Timothy Beam. I'll see you again one day.
I love how Mr. Jackson adds his magic in vocals, and his band continues to bring out the words instrumentally 5:035:03 (I don't know if instrumentally is even a word). What an amazing piece of vocal and onstrument art.
Alan picked the right song to sing huh. That has made Hank happy for Alan to have pick that song you can til by the way he just sitting here really listening to him. Alan did one hell of a job. 👍👌👏🥰❤️wouldn't have expected him to have done any better than what he just did. You go Alan 👏🫶🫶👍👍✌️✌️ Well everybody that likes it kns it . Lol. Good job there 👏 👍 👌

@@ruthworman2733 Thank you for being an amazing fan. I decided to take out some free time and put smiles on the faces of my fans by going through and checking out on my fans, showing love and appreciation and also get to communicate with my fans better through discussions.
no matter how old he's getting the singing improves...love this mans voice...him too....this is old country..pure country, not that bull that is put out as country now a days
I like some but very few of it. It all sounds the same. Rarely to me something stands out. But man Alan Jackson can sure put a song across. All the best.
My gosh, this is such a great tribute to Hank Jr., an incredible artist, one we are so blessed to have grown up with. May God continue to richly bless you both.
Alan Jackson is one singer that can make you feel what he's singing about. God bless you 🙏❤🙌, will always be my very favorite country singer of all times. From 🇨🇦🍁canada with lots of love 💘💕❤💗💖
I agree with you. One of the things I like about Alan is when he redoes someone's song he doesn't try to change it to make it his own, he maintains the integrity of it, because he's a fan too!
Lyrics:
I'm just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
I'm not a walk-behinder, I'm a new note finder
But my name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone
So I started drinkin', took some things that messed up my thinkin'
I was sure sinkin' when she came along
I was alone in the spot light, not too much left in sight
She changed all that one night when she sang me this song
Hey baby, I love you, hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, you don't have to prove to me you're some kind of macho man
You've wasted so much of your life runnin' through the dark nights
Let me shine a little love light down on you, blues man
I got sick from speedin' all the things they said I was needing
If I was to keep on pleasing all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads, I got sued over no shows
She came and took all that old load down off of this blues man
And I sang hey baby, I love you too, hey baby, I need you too
Hey baby, I do get tired of this traveling band, I know you do get tired
I'm up in my years now, nights would be so cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
Oh, I'm up in my years now, nights would be oh so cold now
If she hadn't hung around with this blues man
I.love.to
You are natural and romantic you always fill my face with smiles and my heart with happiness. I can't just stay the day without playing your song Alan and I therefore, recommend you as the best and the #1 country singer and song writer in the world. I wish you was in Africa ... You know what I mean
I TAKE THIS SONG EVERYWHERE I GO. I HAVE IT TATTED ON ME. ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER !!!!

I saw him in concert once! What a man blessed by God! Cheyenne Wyoming at the fair! Qwite a guitar player I was still studying that instrument then!
Wow! A two-fer !!!! What a dream come true.....

Have you checked out Midland yet
@@courtneyherron8223 no but I will especially if you're recommending them. Thanks.
Alan and George are the most Classical . I am Jamaican, grew up listening Reggae but since I discovered Alan and George country music had me hooked.
@@courtneyherron8223 midlands cool but they’re not filling any these shoes
@@jmh394 they're just another band, not the future of country music. It's time country music had a different name, because it's not country any more.
First time hear Alan Jackson on radio Stations, just know he was going To Top of Record charts. Truly amazing music artist. Hank Williams Jr Written beautifully song
He sings this song better than everybody else .
Lol
Alan did it justice. Hank was grinning ear to ear.
Alan is probably the only artist that could have done this and not have written it. Looks like Hank was enjoying it no doubt. Respect and love to both.
@alan jackson Beautiful man beautiful song.
1 me aloop
He will always be one of the greatest country singers for his time and no one can ever say otherwise.
When Alan Jackson sings it’s effortless the way the words float out so smoothly
This man can sing anything I am and always will be your fan your from georgia im from Florida you rock mr Jackson
Boy this song brings out some country music magic. I have said this before, it was like a country music torch was passed between two gentlemen of Country Music.
From one legend to another.
Thank you and GOD bless Mr. Jackson and
Rest In Peace Mr. Jones.
You are the best , it's very exciting!
Greetings from Brazil
Nobody could have done justice to that song like Alan Jackson did.🙏👊👍
Personally I like the george jones and dolly duet the best but this is good too
You got that right
Wow he's not just a singer he's a ringer a winner in my books
Perfect..! AJ # 1 Jones # 1..Good Lord, Just Perfect..! Tear Me Up
Excellence on display here. Probably the best country song .
Alan Jackson is still such a big part of my life . I love all of his music ❤❤❤❤ 2023 by far him and George are legends

Hank Williams Jr and allan Jackson both legends this is country music holllller if you hear me Donny
This is actually a song written by Hank Jr about his own life. Alan Jackson sure does it justice.
Pretty sure George Jones sang it first so that's impossible
I’m pretty sure it’s more about George Jones
@@gandalfthegrey8236look up who wrote the song lol
Hank sitting there as Alan singing it as yes think was Georges song as all 3 are peas in a pod
Hank wrote it.
The man, the voice, Alan Jackson. Your fans love you so much, and we always will.
