What a song! What a voice!

This won him a Grammy award in 1980 👍

Incredible song. Written by Don Schlitz when he was 23 years old.

The only problem with the song is that in order to understand how truly good it is, you’ll be too old to benefit from the lesson it teaches.

See if you can find the version of this song they did for “The Muppet Show” when Kenny Rogers was a special guest.

It was both comical and creepy, with a muppet character singing the duet with Rogers on a train ride. The muppet dude was drinking and smoking, and died in his sleep — on a kid’s show! LOL.

Saw Kenny ‘in the round’ in the early 80’s. The Gatlin Brothers opened. In the middle of a song, Larry stopped and told the crowd to pipe down and respect the music. Still dead to me.

The best you can hope for is to die in your sleep

He also sang "I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in". It's like watching a porno movie that your parish priest made 40 years ago. Very strange.

Married five times, has five kids.......

He certainly knew when to screw them, and knew when to lose them.
