John & Waylon did record the song, which was written by Bob McDill ("Amanda," "Learning to Live Again," "We Must Believe in Magic," "You Turn Me On")and release it as a single, but LARRYBAIRD is right, John & Merle actualy recorded it about a month and a half before (actually Merle's wife, Leona Williams also sang on the cut). But old rivalries and record company decion-makers kept the song on the shelf, plus the fact that it was just a one-off, the product of a drop-by visit to Hendersonville by the Haggards, and was "not ready for prime-time." It worked out better two days after the bi-centennial celebration, when Waylon came to House of Cash Studios and put it down with John, along with "There Ain't No Good Chain Gang," which of course ended up on "I Would Like to See You Again."
