Or anyone of a hundred others who’ve covered this song over the years. The first person to record it was the great songwriter Hank Cochran (one of many Hanks in the Hall of Fame). Oddly enough, he didn’t write it. His friend, Harlan Howard, did. As long as it got out there. It’s one of those fun songs that found a home in country, pop, and just about everywhere else.
