Pride is a Bitch

The country song “Heartbroke.” Ricky Skaggs does the version that gets the most play, but someone did it before, around 1980. A cool country song but Ricky Skaggs changed the lyrics. He sings “pride when your’e rich is a bore when you’re lonely.” He ruined the most soulful line in country music. The original was “pride is a bitch and a bore when your’e lonely,” which packs more of an emotional wallup.

Who did the original version? and give me comments

It was George Strait’s first hit. It’s still available on one of his Greatest Hits CD’s and in the Box Collection.
