It also reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, behind "Dallas" by Alan Jackson.[1]
The single was one of three new tracks on Alabama's Greatest Hits Vol. II album (the other two being "Then Again" and "Hats Off") and was released in 1992 by RCA Nashville.[2] The song won an ASCAP Award for being among the most performed country songs of 1992.
