    The most underrated vocalist in country music, and gospel music. And not to mention as a song writer. I've been a big fan of him for over 40 years.

    Pure talent. I have heard him sing this live. He told a story about writing this song, about his son missing him when he was away from home touring with the Statler brothers. And the guilt he felt about being away on the road performing. God Bless.

    Years ago I believed the Statlers would never be able to replace Lew and continue on and I'm glad to say I was so wrong way back then. Jimmy Fortune is and has always been absolutely wonderful. Love him and love the music he is still producing. Such a talented man.

      He should have done more of this style of country music as a solo career and just a little less gospel , maybe then he would have got more of the recognition he so richly deserved. Such a superb voice.

    You're having second thoughts I can tell by the way you look at me
    I can tell by what I see you no longer believe in me
    I'm havin' bad dreams can't seem to get back to where we used to be
    Sometimes it feels like we're worlds apart
    And I've got too much on my heart
    I've got too much on my heart and I don't like to feel the pain
    And I don't know where to start to make you love me once again
    I don't have time to make you understand
    Lord this thing is gettin' out of hand
    Pain shoots through me like a dart and I've got too much on my heart
    Don't be so cold to me I know you've changed but it's still hard for me
    It's too late I realize I can see it in your distant eyes
    You needed all of me but I can't be there like I used to be
    And Lord it's tearin' me apart
    I got too much on my heart
    I've got too much on my heart and I don't like to feel the pain
    And I don't know where to start to make you love me once again
    I don't have time to make you understand
    Lord this thing is gettin' out of hand
    Pain shoots through me like a dart and I've got too much on my heart
    Pain shoots through me like a dart and I've got too much on my heart

    • @PB-ho6dm
      @PB-ho6dm Před 22 dny

      I have too much on my heart but it has nothing to do with earthly things. It only has to do with my heart for Jesus and Heaven. I know where to start to make my life right again. Pain shoots through me like a dart Lord I have to much on my heart. It's not to late Lord you give us your everlasting love and a way to restart. You are never cold to us you allow us a place in your heart. I can be there for you always because you have the most loving heart. You never make us feel pain you give us your heart so we always know where to start. I have time for you to make me understand it never gets out of hand. Pain shoots me like a dart because of your ever-loving heart. Praise our Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus and The Holy Spirit that never gives us too much to stand on our hearts. Thank you Trinity.

      The Statlers were started with the help of Lew DeWitt, one of the founders. He struggled with Crohn's disease from his youth and had to retire in 1982. He died 8-15-1990 and Jimmy became the tenor for the group until they also retired in 2002.
