Keith Whitley went to Whitey and asked him to write another verse cause Keith thought the song was too short,so he wrote him another verse! I Can't Stand To Be Where Heartaches Hang Around It's So Easy For The Blues To Get Me Down And To See A Grown Man Crawl Is More Than I Can Stand I Can't Look Into The Eyes Of Half A Man
Always a wonderful way to hear a song done by the writer. I love this, simple understated version best of all of them. Rest in peace, Whitey.
He died Saturday, 2 days ago. I love these old poets.
So sad that Whitey passed, I always loved his song writing stylings! Saw him on Austin City Limits a couple of times and became a fan of his music!
