Price hit Nashville in the early 1950s, rooming for a short time with Hank Williams. When Williams died, Price took over Williams' band, the Drifting Cowboys, and had minor success. He was the first artist to have a hit with "Release Me" (1953), a song made famous by Engelbert Humperdinck in 1967. However, Price became one of the stalwarts of the grinding, honky tonk music that became even more popular in the early 1950s with such singers as Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Webb Pierce and others. Price developed the famous "Ray Price Shuffle Beat" that is heard on "Crazy Arms," which served as the beat for many honky-tonk classics since then.

I love you so much that I can't leave you
Even though my mind tells me I should
But then you make me think you really love me
And all my thoughts of leavin' do no good
Chorus:
You've got me, heart over mind. Worried all the time
Knowin' you will always be the same, you'll keep hurting me I know
But I still can't let you go, cause my heart won't let me love for you change
Friends tell me they see you out with others
And in my heart I try hard to forget
But then you make me think that you still want me
And I still hope theres some chance for us yet
