"She's been walked on and stepped on so many times, and I hate to admit it, but that last footprint's mine--she was cryin' when I met her, she cries harder each day--who can blame her"--"Life Turned Her That Way." We just heard this on KVET the other morning, by Ricky Van Shelton. It was Charley Pride singing it the first time we heard it, and still the best. It's out there somewhere by Ernest Tubb also. According to the KVET announcer this was the B side for May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose (Little Jimmy Dickens); written Harlan Howard. In searching for more information about this song, a page was found for Robert Christgau. When our near-lifetime Village Voice subscription ran out, it was too costly to continue, especially now that postage rates are so high.
