That man Mr Butch Handcock has written a mistrustful song, it brings a few tears of joy to my hard-rocking eyes by its beauty. I got to to see Mr Joe Ely sing this song several times who he came over and toured in my land way way way back in time
Musical goodness by one of the many Texas smarter than the average bear songwriters. My Lord, Texas has produced so many of these guys, there really is something about Texas, quite obviously.
Excellent writer.

This song is a masterpiece. American songwriting at its best.
this is one of my favorite songs too. “if you were a hotel you’d be a grand one”. what a sweet lyric.
Butch Hancock...
I've heard of him for years.. now I get it.
One of the greatest country songs I've ever heard in my life.

He looks like he’s lived a thousand years and walked a thousand byways and loved a thousand times.
@terlingua97 You're very welcome. We had a great time!
Why do I see Joe Ely credited as the one that wrote this?
Joe was the first one to release it, but ya, written by Butch!🤘
