Faron Young (February 25, 1932 – December 10, 1996) was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most successful and colorful stars. Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')" and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky-tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist. Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, Young was the youngest of six children. He grew up on a dairy farm that his family operated outside the city. He began singing at an early age. He performed at the local Optimist Club and was discovered by Webb Pierce, who brought him to star on Louisiana Hayride on KWKH-AM in 1951. He graduated from Fair Park High School that year and attended Centenary College of Louisiana.
Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.

Plot: Pat Hubbard ('Leroy VanDyke' (qv)), following his San Diego discharge from the Navy, is on a bus returning to the family ranch in 'Phoenix Arizona' (qv), and has a stop-over in Hollywood. He goes to the Hollywood Bowl, where Faron Young ('Faron Young' (qv))and His Deputies are performing, and Young induces Pat to do a number. Wattching the show, but unacquainted, are Mike Evans ('Bill Craig (I)' (qv)), on the prowl to boost his sagging music firm, and Maggie Hendricks ('Stephanie Hill (I)' (qv)), a reporter for People Magazine assigned to do a story on modern country music. They both sense in Pat the answer to their problems. They both head for the Hubbard ranch and are met by Pat's sister Beth ('Kristin Harmon' (qv)as Kristin Nelson), who tells them that Pat is only interested in becoming a cattle-barn auctioneer. This evolves into two romances, six songs sung by would-be-auctioneer Pat, some misunderstandings, and a whole lot of traveling music. Producer Wendell Niles Jr. would later produce better shows.

You promised me love that would never die
That promise you've made was only a lie
Now after you're gone all alone and I
For all that I've got is a worried mind.
--- Instrumental ---
And when I was down, you've just let me there
I needed you so but you didn't care
You found the new love and home so fine
But all that I got is a worried mind.
--- Instrumental ---
I gave you a ring, I gave you a home
You promised me that you never would wrong
I bought you fine clothes and I bought you wine
