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.

Just one more dance, just one more chance
So I can talk to you
Don't live too fast, forget the past
And I will try to prove
I would do anything you ask me to
Don't run around, don't turn me down
Let me talk to you
Don't go to far with crowd at the bar
That's not the way to win
Please, fall in love again
Give me your heart, so I can start
To build our life anew
I know you've paid, so if you're afraid
Let me talk to you
