Written by Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson.
This song was originally released by Willie 03/01/1982 on
the album of the same name. Willie has performed this song with the
guitar tuned down a half step, especially if he was performing it live
as a solo. So if it doesn't seem right if you are playing with a YouTube
that's probably why. All of the CD studio recordings I can find perform
it with the standard tuning.

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

I'll keep you satisfied
