That’s a good song. Hadn’t heard it before now.
Matraca Berg is in the Country Music Songwriters Hall of Fame.
She’s written a LOT of very, very good songs that other artists have covered but she’s a darn good singer in her own right.
Here’s a list of 25 of Berg’s songs covered by others...and well worth the time to find her own versions.
