Mark Chesnutt included his version of the song on his 1992 album Longnecks & Short Stories, but did not release it as a single at the time.
His rendition of the song features backing vocals from Vince Gill and Alison Krauss.
Five years later, he put the original version on his 1997 album Thank God for Believers.
Regarding its placement on the album, he said that "When we put it up against the other songs, you would never know it was recorded so long ago."
[1] A review from Billboard was favorable, praising Chesnutt's "heartbroken hillbilly delivery", the presence of steel guitar and fiddle in the production, and the harmony vocals.
