I question if the lyrics need to be reprinted here. It seems unencyclopedic (as well as a potential copyright violation). Look around at some of the other articles written about songs: they include history on the song, what inspired it, when it was recorded, how well it charted, critical response, sales numbers, and some interesting anecdotes about the performer and the specific song. However, this article just mentions a couple of cover artists and then regurgitates the lyrics. I think a serious expansion and cleanup is in order here. 66.17.118.195 14:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

It is not a copyright violation to post to a sight that contains lyrics, even if that site is itself violating copyright protection. I agree that this needs a clean up, and have tagged it for the Country Music WikiProject in the hopes that eventually someone will get around to cleaning it up. SonPraises 05:58, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
