“But You Know I Love You” is another “sucks being on the road” song, but this time it’s not one by John Denver. It was written by Mike Settle, a member of the First Edition, along with Kenny Rogers. They recorded it first in 1969 and it became a hit for them. It was also covered by country music stars Bill Anderson and Dolly Parton (separately) and has since been covered by many more. Glad I’m not recording this in some lonely motel room on the road.
