About this song
Songwriters Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz wrote the country song Overstreet and Schlitz came up with at the end of an unproductive day while trying to write their next song. Alison Krauss & Union Station's version was their first top-10 country hit on their own, reaching that level in 1995. Keith Whitley's recording was the song's first major success, topping the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1988.
