NOT QUITE. The answer I was looking for is... "I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER IF I
WANT TO"... Marty Stuart recorded it..... but it's a HARLAN HOWARD song.

YOU ALMOST had it completely, however, not only was the line changed when Pam
recorded it.... but the song title was changed as well (to DON'T TELL ME WHAT
TO DO).

YEH,,,,,,, Rodney recorded this one, but it's a cover tune........... a song
from the pen of JOHN HIATT, who...... not so coincidentally...... sings backups
(with Vince Gill) on Rodney's cover.
