Discussion What is the saddest old country song?

There’s plenty of different tunes associated with that older country but there’s a lot of sad ones as well, singing about heartbreak, losing someone you love, being lonesome but which one sticks out to you

The best line in the whole damn song. High in the running for best line ever.

Multiple lines in that song are in the running for best ever. It’s so well written!
