Hayes Carll has a few...

You Get It All

And I'd rather drive you crazy, being more than you can stand
Than to let you try to love half a man
And all my cards are on the table, and darlin', it's your call
But I'm all in, so lose or win, you get it all

All my blessin', all my curse
All my better, all my worse
From the chapel to the hearse, you get it all
Yeah, you do

I was pretty young when i first heard Marty Robbins singing Streets of Laredo. Made me re-think my plan of being a rough and tumble cowboy.

May I introduce you to one James McMurtry.

Choctaw Bingo...a raucous PWT family reunion set in eastern Oklahoma and more
Lights of Cheyenne...horrible marriage that stays together because of inertia
Just Us Kids...getting older in 3 verses. At nearly 50, I'm moving into verse 3.
Canola Fields...long term on again off again affair
Levelland...Robert Earl made it famous, but James wrote it
Ruby and Carlos...one of the most devastating songs ever
No More Buffalo...life of the road as a gig musician

And that doesn't even touch his political songs...

Larry's son. Thought about adding him too but seems to be stretching a little too much to label him country.

Where'd you get that Red Dress, is an Anthem.

Ray Wylie Hubbard wrote Choctaw Bingo but most people recognize the McMurtry version as the better of the two. Myself included.

That is correct. Thanks!

Lights of Cheyenne is probably my favorite from him. So somber and depressing!

Speaking of Ray Wylie Hubbard:

I've thought about that song a lot over the past decade...
