In 2002, Daryle Singletary released a remake, which went to number 43 on the same chart.

Conway's version of this song features an extremely unusual series of key changes: the song progressively lowers in key instead of the musical standard of changing keys upwards.

Chris Young references this song in his single "I Can Take It from There".
