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'll Be There Lyrics

Ray Price

(Ray Price - Rusty Gabbard)
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide
Now there ain't no rope strong enough to bind me
Look for me, honey you will find me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.
So love me if you ever gonna love me
I never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.
Well, there ain't no jail tight enough to lock me
There ain't nobody big enough to stop me
I never have seen a road too rough to ride
I'll be there ready and a waitin'
There won't be any hesitation
I'll be right there if you ever want me by your side.
So love me if you ever gonna love me
I never have seen a road too rough to ride
I'll be there ready and a waitin'
There won't be any hesitation
I'll be right there if you ever want me by your side...
