Background and recordings
In 1967, during an interview, Jennings remarked that the song was a "pretty good example" of the influence of his work with Buddy Holly and rockabilly music.[2] Despite that the song was included in Jennings performing repertoire,[1] it was not released as a single, but it was included two years later as the title-track of his 1969 album. In 1982, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson recorded the song again, which became their third number one country hit as a duo. The single spent two weeks at number one and a total of twelve weeks on the country chart.[3][4]
In 1987, Barbara Mandrell, recorded the song for her "Sure Feels Good" album. The song was never released as a single.
