About the song

In the song, the narrator voices regret over not being able to remain with his/her significant other, due to career demands and the need to travel for his/her job. At the time Settle was guitarist for Kenny Rogers and The First Edition and the group had a hit with it in 1969, with Rogers singing lead and Settle harmonizing.

Anderson recorded his version of the song in 1969, which promptly rose to No. 2 on the "Billboard magazine" Hot Country Singles chart that same year.

Parton recorded the song in 1980, including it on her 1980 album "9 to 5 and Odd Jobs". In April 1981, Dolly Parton released it as a single, following the success of "9 to 5," and it reached No. 1 Hot Country Singles chart in June 1981. Parton's version was also a minor pop crossover, reaching No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 14 on the AC chart.
