I just destroyed the World" by Conway Twitty

[Nick Reed]

Has anyone got the recording of "I just destroyed the World"? It needs to be the Conway Twitty version. If so, could you e-mail me an MP3 of it. I just love the kick & break played by John Hughey. I already have the Jimmy Day instrumental version.

Nick, do you know that Buddy Emmons has a great arrangement for it and tabbed out on the Instructional Record he did for Emmons Guitar Co. I highly reccommend it as well as the others on the album if you want that Ray Price/Emmons shuffle.

[Craig A Davidson]

The Conway version has that climbing intro on it where Hughey almost slides right off of the guitar he goes so far up.

[Jim Whitaker]

Nick there is the tab that Ricky Davis did on that song on the rebel.
By far my favorite intro ever!!
Another John Hughey classic

REAL OLD STUFF

[George Kimery]

The turnaround of this song on Rob Parker's cassette (the one that has a different steel player on every song) is out of this world. The steeler is Stu Basore and he does a unison string thing that makes the hair stand up on your neck. If you want to hear a lot of great steel work in different styles by all different pickers, you will love this cassette. Plus, Rob does a great job on the vocals as he always does at the steel jams.

[Richard Sinkler]

I would also like to get a copy of Conway's version. This is my all time favorite intro and break. My copy has been played so many (and boy do I mean many) times that it skips.

I think John must have been using a 60" scale guitar on that one

This is a desperate plea for a copy.

Thanks to those that emailed me the files. Hopefully Nick received them too. For those who have not heard this version, well, it could rate right up there with sex. I wish Bear records would come out with CD re-releases of Conway's records. Some of the best steel playing ever recorded was Hughey on the "filler" cuts on Conway's records.

I would like to get the lyrics to that song - I don't seem to be able to find them on the net.

Oops, that didn't work. I'll try this way. I'VE JUST DESTROYED THE WORLD I'M LIVIN' IN
Recorded by: Ray Price
Written by: Willie Nelson

[C] The Sun just went behind a Cloud
[F] There's Darkness all around me Now
For I'VE [C] JUST DESTROYED THE [Am] WORLD I'M LIVIN' G] IN
[C] I Broke her Heart so many Times
[F] That now at Last I've broken Mine
And I'VE [C] JUST DESTROYED THE [G] WORLD I'M LIVIN' [C] IN

CHORUS
What [F] made me Think that I could go on [C] hurting Her
I [D7] should have Known there'd have to be an [G] end
[C] But Fools in Love are Taught by fate,
[F] They never Learn till it's too Late
And I'VE [C] JUST DESTROYED THE [G] WORLD I'M LIVIN' [C] IN

REPEAT CHORUS
