The song's electric clavinet solo was played by Nashville session musician Hargus "Pig" Robbins. Part of the song's success may have been that fans assumed George was singing about ex-wife Tammy Wynette; indeed, in the liner notes to the Jones retrospective 'Anniversary 10 Years of Hits', producer Billy Sherrill confirms that song was "about Tammy." In his 1995 memoir, Jones wryly remarked, "The public believed I was singing about Tammy. Several reporters asked if that were true. I purposely hedged on the question. I was ready to let people think whatever they wanted to think if it might sell a few records. I needed the money to pay child support to Tammy."
