The song was originally recorded by John Conlee on his album Perfect Strangers for 16th Avenue Records.[1] It was released as the album's third single in 1989 and peaked at number 67 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. Before its release, Conlee included it as the B-side to his 1989 single "Hit the Ground Runnin'",[2] which peaked at number 43. George Jones also cut the song for his 1986 LP Wine Colored Roses.
