So if I'm getting this correct, it's Tanya Tucker -> Garth Brooks -> Dead Season? That's an interesting transition.

It's more like:


Pat Alger wrote it -> Pitched it to Tanya Tucker, who added a third verse -> Tanya Tucker recorded it and cut it from her 1988 album -> Garth took out the third verse and put it on his 1990 album -> Tanya released her version in 1995 -> It's forever remembered as a Garth song because his came out first -> This is what happens when other people write you songs
