- 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.
Someone really needs to remaster this!! What a gem by the best ever!
We got cheated out of decades of beautiful music 😥
This song touches my heart. I know what it means. Been there💙🙊🙉🙈⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ONE OF THE GREATS 😎
I love this song
Awesome! 1st time I heard Keith sing it.
This is real country
Merle haggard would have done some musical genius work on this song, haggard jones and Keith where the very best that ever was may they all R.I.P
Well said! Cant argue with that at all tbh. As far as voices I'd put vern gosdin up there too, very underrated, but u ain't wrong about what u said! Lol
I don't think they would have done nothing to it for all of them said when Keith died .in the words of Waylon Jennings he was the greatest country singer to ever live look it up Waylon said that
Ken Mellons did a great job on this, too.
Love these lost 💎 gems.
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.
This is the kind of music Keith wanted to make and they didn’t want it. RIP
Great song ❤😂
Awesome thank you
I know the feeling so well😢
RIP Keith whitley may 9 1989
awesome always wanted to hear his version. i love ken mellons version too.i bet you he would have went back and re worked it, and released it. just have the feeling he would have.
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.
I grew up with this song good one
@@donnasmith8301 Food For Thought thats the truth. I’ve wondered bout that too

Beautiful
Best version of this song ever recorded.
Awesome Video
Thanks for transcribing the lyrics. Some would have been difficult if not impossible for me to make out.
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.

Thanks, Becca.
Your the fucking man for posting this
I love Keith Whitley ... you too Lorrie 😏💜
I went out of my mind, so I wouldn't have to see. The fool in the mirror, or to face reality.
Ain’t that the truth.
Been there--
What is truly sad is Nashville won't even play Keith Whitley on the radio now they'd rather hear fat ass jelly roll
Am I going crazy or did you use to have a keith whitley song up call good fools are hard to find? I've looked it up on Google and can't find anything
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.
Please let AI remake with one! Would be amazing
Can connect
Blame this on Lori. She left him and he wanted her and she was never around. If she gave a damn about him and cried or cared never would have been
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.
@@derickkeaton5440 so since you work with addicts you know his whole story? I guess if a person drinks over a divorce death or life changing event or suffers from depression there an addict? So if someone turns to drinking there the same as somebody who robs steals ect to get there fix?
@@derickkeaton5440 I did watch the documentary on him. He was a young kid who traveled and hung out with older guys. His brother died in a motorcycle accident. 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
@@bradliptak7247 Don't misconstrue my words Brad. Keith was an alcoholic . Look his life up. Keith Whitley was my favorite singer. His music is timeless but he needed alcohol to function. Every addiction has one thing in common. The word addiction.
@@bradliptak7247 exactly, Keith traveled with Ralph Stanley an band. Along with Ricky Skaggs. Alot of tragedy in the Whitley family too. That is a tough family. Good people
Great song ❤😂
Love it
