The only version, other than Elvis', that I actually enjoy. He did his own thing but did it justice -- just as gritty and hard-hitting as the original, yet in a completely different style. I've been looking for this for a while; thank you for posting.

I want to hit the like button. But . . . I don't what he did. Gives a whole new meaning to "look what they done to my song, Ma!"

Hoyt’s mother Mae Axton wrote the song. He can do what he wants!

This is a happy version, not lonely, but it's ok.
