My father Larry Wayne Johnson wrote this song for Jonny Paycheck. I miss him so much. He passed away in 2020 just before Father's Day. My father was a great man, I think about him every day. I miss spending time with him and my brother Joshua Wayne Johnson. Playing music together in the kitchen of our old house. It was the best time I have ever had in my life. And there's nothing I wouldn't give for just one more song together with him. Even though he is gone now I can still hear him singing in my mind. And I'm sure right now he is with God in heaven, singing with the angles. He wrote many songs throughout his life. The one that people most recognize is ( Don't Take The Girl ) performed by Tim McGraw. I can't wait until the day that I get to see my Dad in heaven. I Love You Dad. Larry Wayne Johnson 1950 - 2020
Sad fact is that they'll probably put Keith Urban in before Johnny in ..if they ever put him in at all. Dudes like Johnny Paycheck and David Allan Coe are what County is all about. These other types might as well be working retail in the clothing store at the mall.
It is a shame he is not in the fame i guess they say he was to rough hell they all were and you could ask any member if there are any of the old ones left and they would agree country music was always singing from the heart and the crazy lifestyle the drinking all of that was how it was but for some reason paycheck who did every thing that could be done in the country music he lived it out a true country singer it is like watching a movie and they throw the stunt man in there to ride the horse paycheck was the real deal
Paychecks personal appearances sounds better than the new singers recordings with all the modern bells and whistles, he was the real deal country music at its finest RIP JOHN
Sadly you try to do something just as that, preserve it, and TH-cam takes it down after it gets a million views.. I had old violin uploaded from the opry on here and it hit a million views then they took it down.
Johnny Paycheck is THE MOST UNDER-RATED Country Singer in his generation....every time I hear one of these slow ballads by him, within 10 seconds I already know and feel that it's better than most of the others...he brought a lot of feeling to the microphone...
THIS IS TRUE COUNTRY.........PURE COUNTRY........OMG...........WHO CAN SING IT WITH THIS EMOTION? ONLY JP............MISS YOU MAN.........SING WITH THE CHOIRS OF ANGELS IN HEAVEN.
I talked to Johnny about this song a few years before he passed. He felt this song would help him regain his past popularity and success. It should have! He sounded great right to the end.
A truly wonderful song.....a brilliant artist and most of all no ONE can sing them like ole Paycheck!!!! His prison sentence came at a bad time in his life....but Johnny still refused to sit around and feel sorry for himself. Instead he embraced his music career again and did what he did the best....SING the ole tear jerkers.
Always been a Paycheck fan. This one is a masterpiece , real country! Sounds great for a live performance. This is what country music is all about....Bud
Shame on me for once thinking Paycheck was a fringe player in the country scene. The man played with George Jones in the early days and every song I’ve heard is always so perfect from the pedal steel to his voice. What an awesome artist he was
You know that Johnny Paycheck always had an "old man" voice full of pain and suffering. Even in his early recordings, he sounded like the old man you find in a neighborhood bar in the middle of the day--always on the same stool, always playing the same sad song on the juke box. Always trying to get over the girl he lost years ago. He was such a treasure.
There’s a WORLD of difference between singing a lyric from a pc of paper,& singing it from your heart. I could see him in that situation in his real life. This song should’ve been WAY UP in the charts…..if not #1. THAT my friends is REAL COUNTRY MUSIC!
Paycheck was 1 of 4 TREMENDOUS COUNTRY JOHNNY's The other 3 are Cash, Bush, and Rodriguez. Daryle Singletary did THE OLD VOILIN tremendous credit and homage as did Tracy Byrd to SOMEBODY TO GIVE MY LOVE TO.
Thank You for posting. Johnny is probably the most underrated country starts of all time. His sound is classic, original. One of my favorites always!!! Having some Colorado Kool Aid right now but I don't need knife proof ear muffs!
Thank you for saying Lyrical Genius. Because my father Larry Wayne Johnson was just that. My father Larry Wayne Johnson wrote that song and pitched it to Jonny Paycheck. It was Jonny Paycheck's last #1 hit before he died. My father passed away in 2020 just before Father's Day. He also wrote ( Don't Take The Girl ) performed by Tim McGraw. I miss my Dad so much. When I hear Jonny Paycheck sing this song, it reminds me of my Dad singing it to me while he was writing it in our old house in Ashland City TN. I'm really happy you liked it. Thank you so much.
@@christopherjohnson25 where is the recording of this song by Johnny Paycheck? ..it sure would have been the best record by him EVER in my opinion 💟 his singing, the arrangement and his band were incredible with this one. It is said that he never recorded it ... and that this Opry performance was the only recording of the song and he was about to record it but his health was declining and did not get to make record😞
Sadly there is no studio recorded version of this super great song by Johnny Paycheck. I've searched for a couple years. Ray Price has a version of it out...but it pales in feelings compared to this one. Anything JP sang is great.

@@reality8605they went against the grain for sure lol.
He's like Pete Rose, will never get in HOF, shouldn't be a HOF for Country Music or baseball without the 2 greatest
@@reality8605 facts
Deserved to be in the hall of fame..yrs ago. What a shame!!!
Johnny Never got the recognition he deserved... One of the best...RIP my friend GOD BLESS YOU.... and your music lives on forever....
JOHNNY WASONE OF THE GREAT COUNTRY SINGERS HE SOUNDS SAD ON THIS SONG BING TRARS TO YOUR EYES RIP
Johnny Paycheck was the Real Deal. One of my most faves ever. Rip Paycheck.
Back when they sang real country music on the opry. RIP Johnny Paycheck
Paychecks personal appearances sounds better than the new singers recordings with all the modern bells and whistles, he was the real deal country music at its finest RIP JOHN
That performance should be preserved forever as the epic of what country music was in it's prime. I truly miss Paycheck.
sat on the bus with him, real country, rip paycheck.

One of the greatest country singers of all time!

Damn.... Paycheck..you got into my heart with this one!!!!!!!!!! Always loved you, still do and always will, "Pearl"
You knew he'd been there, wasn't no question that he felt these songs.
I talked to Johnny about this song a few years before he passed. He felt this song would help him regain his past popularity and success. It should have! He sounded great right to the end.
Did he ever record this???
He sings like he means it. So much music today lacks that special touch.
Absolutely
If that song don`t tug on your heartstring nothing will....LOVE IT AND MISS IT!
You can feel the pain. A great live performance
Country music as it should be.
thats call good old country music.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT
THIS SONG IS REAL COUNTRY THANK FOR THE UP LOAD RIP JOHN
Great tune by Johnny, he got better with age. Always enjoyed him on his Crook and Chase appearances
Johnny Paycheck, what’s left to be said. Wrote and performed his life arguably unmatched in country music.
A truly wonderful song.....a brilliant artist and most of all no ONE can sing them like ole Paycheck!!!! His prison sentence came at a bad time in his life....but Johnny still refused to sit around and feel sorry for himself.

Hi Margie💐💐

That's alright friend, it hits different now, that's all that matters.

Great singer one of the best singers in country music. Mar
HE SANG IT SO BEAUTIFULLY
There’s a WORLD of difference between singing a lyric from a pc of paper,& singing it from your heart.
I could see him in that situation in his real life.
This song should’ve been WAY UP in the charts…..if not #1.
THAT my friends is REAL COUNTRY MUSIC!

Thank You for posting. Johnny is probably the most underrated country starts of all time. His sound is classic, original. One of my favorites always!!! Having some Colorado Kool Aid right now but I don't need knife proof ear muffs!
The current crop of country singers don't know nothing about singing country music. This is the real deal
EXACTLY!
When Country Music was still country.
This is my song. Since 1999 to still today December 2023, I'm alone and in hell in Utah.
He was one of the greatest.
Fantastic singer
THE REAL DEAL,not the stuff we have today
Lyrical Genius! My hero!
Thank you for saying Lyrical Genius. Because my father Larry Wayne Johnson was just that. My father Larry Wayne Johnson wrote that song and pitched it to Jonny Paycheck. It was Jonny Paycheck's last #1 hit before he died. My father passed away in 2020 just before Father's Day. He also wrote ( Don't Take The Girl ) performed by Tim McGraw. I miss my Dad so much. When I hear Jonny Paycheck sing this song, it reminds me of my Dad singing it to me while he was writing it in our old house in Ashland City TN. I'm really happy you liked it. Thank you so much.

Like i said johnny comes from the heart
Yeah,this is one of those once in a lifetime.Wish he would’ve cut this in the studio.
I’m still trying to find out who the steel player was.
I tried to find johnnys version of this song but only found Ray price which is good but this is Johnny paycheck like nobody can sing it like this
Johnny could not get a label in his last years so alot of his good stuff wasnt recorded 4:01
What great steel work.
I'm 60 now, but will still try and learn Steel. Just fills the soul.
Love this song! One of my favorites... =))
