Got thinking back 60 some years ago as to where I spent many weekend nights. There were probably a half dozen roadside inns within 25 miles of home that fit the description of the bar in this song. It wasn't till I was 32 that I had an epiphany and changed my wicked ways. These joints all seemed to be in little unincorporated areas with no local police protection to bother with such minor things as closing times, parking lot fist fights, and the chance to meet some sweet young things that weren't exactly debutantes. Anyone else remember those days?

I just learned that Melba Montgomery passed away a little over a week ago. One of the true greats in real county music. George Jones and her made several different cuts of this song but this one was my favorite.
The back up musicians on this cut were all from the A-Team with Pig Robbins taking the piano lead.
