Every song has a story. I learned this one from 70's guitar Icon Les Dudek. The gentleman who was the primary writer of the song was in an on and off relationship with a lady for a couple decades. They'd break up and always get back together. Except after one breakup she had enough. She married another suitor.
The gentleman penned most of this song then after never drinking in his life proceeded to drink himself to death over the next ten years.
Now you know the real story behind the song. For me it makes it even sadder.
