Born Webb Michael Pierce in West Monroe, Louisiana, he became a star performer on the Louisiana Hayride and one of country music's most popular honky tonk songsters. He was a regular performer on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. His biggest hit, 1953's "There Stands the Glass" is regarded as one of country's all-time classic "drinking songs". Other hits included "Backstreet Affair", "Why, Baby, Why", â€œOh, So Many Years", and â€œFinallyâ€, the latter two being duets with Kitty Wells. In addition to his music, Pierce was known for his lavish Nashville mansion, which featured a guitar-shaped swimming pool, among other truly bizzare and amazing things.

If You Were Me (And I Were You) (1955) Lyrics

Webb Pierce

If you were me and I were you and I should do the things you do
Would you still love the way I keep on loving you
Of all the times you've been untrue if I should be the same by you
Just tell me now what would you do if you were me and I were you
[ fiddle - steel ]
Someday my love may grow cold then I'll love you no more I know
Think of all the unkind things you said and done
But I still love you even though your love for me you'll never show
Just tell me now what would you do if you were me and I were you
If you were me and I were you...
