Some more conservative disc jockeys refused to play the song, believing that some lyrics were too sexually suggestive. I like Conway on the classic, which means guilt or pain-ridden-cheating songs. I don't like him so much when he starts comparing his wife invidiously to some idealized Linda, Georgia, or honky-tonk angel.
