  • Rare demo written by Keith Whitley (Source: AllMusic.com - Lorrie Morgan's A Picture Of Me: Greatest Hits & More Album).
    Perhaps one of his saddest songs recorded, he never fails to deliver a masterpiece. The sound quality is very poor, but I'm thankful it survived.
    [Edit 23 October 2020] After listening another time through, I believe the lyric "I stayed in the same place you left me" should be "...she left me." Was hard to transcribe these lyrics due to the poor quality.

    This is a song that just tugs at the heartstrings. Keith sure wrote a good song as well as he sang it. The lyrics are powerful to me, and it this song lives rent-free in my head. Alcohol is an awful and powerful demon, and it has robbed us of some great performers, including Keith Whitley. May he rest in peace.

      I agree. Whitley occasionally performed unreleased material at concerts. If he played this at one of them to gauge the audience’s reaction, they probably would’ve cried applauding him. Had he lived longer, he may have talked RCA into releasing it.

      @@scottnowak6162 and sadly enough I believe RCA and how they treated Keith Whitley probably was a huge factor and Keith Whitley's quote on quote accidentally overdose which could have been intentional due to his depression based on Lori Morgan possibly going behind his back and RCA's threats of dropping him if you didn't quit drinking.

      You're welcome! I had trouble transcribing a number of his demos due to the sound quality and his annunciation, so I spent hours going back and forth on every word that was sung. Needless to say, I'm a perfectionist and one small error drives me nuts.

      You’re not crazy haha. It was marked “Unlisted”, so I changed it to Public. Try now. Some of the acoustic recordings are copyrighted, so if the owner files a complaint to CZcams or says to remove them, I have to comply.

      Brad, we all miss Keith Whitley. Keith had an addiction long before Lorie came along. Its very sad, if you ever get the chance check out the documentaries on this subject. You might have a new understanding. I work with addicts, if someone doesn't want to change, this is usually the end result. Sorry Man just telling the truth.

He robbed himself instead of his family and friends to put a needle in his arm and end up in prison. But most of you counselors have your guide to judge people on whats right or wrong then preach religion ect. Preach away but sometimes love can make or break somebody whos already broken and feels no self worth. I suppose this subject will be one we can agree to disagree on
