This song is still popular in some bars, especially at closing time or last call. Everyone joins in and sings. Take the young lady to one of these bars/nightclubs, request it and watch everyone start singing. She will see why it’s popular.
When I was 31 this song was so popular and everyone tried to learn all the lyrics to it!! Now I'm 77 and that's how long ago this song came out!! 46 years ago wow!! I didn't know I was that long ago!! And YES I LOVE Dwight Yoakam!! Love you guys too! Been watching all your videos and love your wife's reaction to Dwight, she's so cute!!
MY FRIEND THAT I HAD JAMMED WITH BACK IN THE 70'S IN ASHEVILLE, NC GOT HIS BREAK WITH DAVID AS HE CAME INTO TOWN TO PLAY A CONCERT THERE. THE DAY BEFORE, DAVID DECIDED TO DROP IN A SMALL BAR THAT MY FRIEND WAS PLAYING WITH HIS BAND. DAVID TOLD HIM THAT HE MIGHT BE GOING TO NEED A GUITARIST AS HE LIKED THE WAY HE SOUNDED FOR HIS BAND AND SAID IF HE DID HE WOULD CALL HIM IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. WELL, DAVID DID CALL HIM AND TOLD HIM TO GET TO FLORIDA AND MY FRIEND DID. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF MY FRIEND BEFORE. *HIS NAME IS WARREN HAYNES!* THAT'S THE GOSPEL AS I REMEMBER IT.
Steve Goodman wrote most of it and John Prine came up with a few of the signature lines. Steve started it and John finished it. Steve and John went way back , both being raised and starting their fledgling careers in Chicago. Steve assisted in launching John's career by pestering Kris Kristofferson to check out Prine performing. Kris finally agreed, Kris was impressed, inviting John to perform a few songs at one of Kris's gigs. John agreed to do so. A record company executive was in the audience at the show and he loved John's performance. The rest is history. Steve died at a fairly young age several years ago due to a terminal illness, I believe. Here is John telling the story of how this song came to be and John performing it. ua-cam.com/video/y6ngTGKxOTg/v-deo.html
I just now read a wild story, about how the song "The Ride" was supposedly written. It was written by Gary Gentry. He and J. B. Detterline Jr. co-wrote a different song to honor Hank Sr.. As Detterline left that night, Gentry wasn't satisfied with that song. He didn't think it was enough for Hank. In his mad and drunken state, wanting to write a masterpiece about Hank, Gentry said he lit some candles in his living room. Trying to do the things that ghost movies tell you not to do, like antagonizing ghosts and yelling mean things. He yelled in his empty apartment, "Hank! Why were you so big? Just because you died young? Show yourself!" Then Gentry peered down the long dark hallway to a ghostly sight: Hank Williams Sr., shirtless, sitting on his couch. Gentry said the song just poured through him at 4am. Then David Allan Coe performed The Ride at the Grand Ole Opry sometime later. Then, allegedly, while Coe was performing the last verse in the song where it's revealed that the ghost is Hank, the power and lights at the Opry shut off. Gentry heard about the moment. "And I think it was Phil Ball, one of the musicians [playing at the Opry] that day, who said, 'Hank don't want to come back,'" Gentry said. "And I thought, 'Wow.'" The Grande Ole Opry shut out Hank Williams Sr, for drunkenly missing his obligations not long before his death. No idea if the story's true, but it is interesting. Never heard it before, despite knowing the song my whole life.
More DAC songs to chech out "Jack Daniels, If You Please", "The Ride", "Willie, Waylon, and Me", "Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile", and "If That Ain't Country". I believe that John Prine cowrote this song with Steve Goodman.
7:28 Hank Jr has a song where he parodies the spoken section of this song, and acknowledges/references this song directly. I'm racking my brain trying to remember which Hank song it was.
This is a classic. You two look to get the poke fun at the stereotypical country song when he sang the "2nd" verse. He included all the "country" themes....mama,drunk,prison,truck, and the birth of you looked so serious. Welcome to country satire.

LADY? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THAT IS A CLASSIC!
When I was young in our local bars we all used to sing the second verse at the top of our voices!

Just a note for all the Cubbie fans out there. The Steve Goodman who wrote this song is the same guy who wrote "Go Cubs Go."

I knew the Tennessee Hat Band and lived with Bill Clarke the bass player
"Would You Lay with Me in a Field of Stone." Coe's best.
Yes, Tanya Tucker sang it when she was 15 years old.

Yo do (lay me down to cheat) by David Alan Coe. It’s serious and beautiful.
