Elvis Version

Willie Nelson Version

Now this is a tough one for me...

I think Elvis one "sounds better"

But the Willie Nelson version is more emotional.

Great song. Which is the better version to you?

Slight edge to Elvis for his incredibly tight band. Can't go wrong, either way, though.

I think the major difference for me (as they both are great by the way)

When I listen to the Elvis version, I can feel the emotions of what Elvis was feeling about his family...

When I hear the Willie Nelson version....It just seems like it gets to me more. Like I start thinking about my past or mistakes.

Both are great. I listen to the Elvis version to hear The King belt out his personal regrets.

I listen to the Willie Nelson's version when I want to think about times I fricked up with some important women in my past and present.

If that makes any sense.

Damn, this is a good question. I just watched both links. The elvis version in the OP is better. But Willie came along and put together a world class version in his own right.

Pretty good Willie version

Either is a great choice, but I will go with Elvis.
