"Don't Toss Us Away" is a song written by Bryan MacLean and recorded by country rock band Lone Justice in 1985 on their self-titled debut album. In 1988, the song was recorded by country singer Patty Loveless, who released the song as the second single from her 1988 album, Honky Tonk Angel, in February 1989. Loveless' version reached the number five on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in May 1989.[1]

Background

Loveless and her brother, Roger Ramey, heard the song while driving with Tony Brown. All of them agreed it would be a good song for her to record, as the ballad fit her vocal style quite well. Marie MacLean, songwriter Bryan MacLean's sister, told Loveless at the studio that she was singing/recording the song the way her brother had always intended.

Chart positions

The song charted for 17 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, reaching number 5 during the week of May 6, 1989.
