** “Hello Darlin’” was covered by George Jones, and although never released as a single was critically well received and some say rivaled the Twitty original.
** Elvis Presley recorded a version of “There’s a Honky-Tonk Angel (Who’ll Take Me Back In)” in December 1973, around the time Twitty released his version. Nearly six years later, two years after his death, “The King” could be heard on the radio once again with yet another top 10 hit, this time covering the man that once rivaled him as the teen heartthrob of the 1950s.

** Let's put this one simply. Each verse of the song tells of a time in the song's protagonist's life where and when his father was very prominent, such as letting him sleep in his daddy's room when he had a nightmare about his father dying, offering to help pay half of his sons money to "fly out west" during his teenage years, even though he and his father argue over the sons future notstop, and the protagonist talking to his father's grave after he's done made a life from himself and "settled down within a mile or two", most like referencing his home being near the grave, and asking how he can make up a song to say "I love you", now realizing that it's HIS job to be a grown man for his family.
