To quote Tracy Lawrence, you find out who your friends are<\/a> when somebody drops everything for you.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the kind of friend Blake Shelton is to Craig Morgan. Because no matter what other things were on Shelton\u2019s to-do list on Monday night (Sept. 9), he started a chain of tweets to support Morgan\u2019s new song \u201cThe Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost.\u201d The tweets continued Tuesday morning as Shelton literally pushed his own fans to push the song up the charts. He even said he\u2019d gladly give up His Own Spot on the charts just to let Morgan\u2019s song \u2014 about coping with his teenage son\u2019s death<\/a> \u2014 be heard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would gladly give up my spot on country radio to get this song on.. Wow @cmorganmusic,\u201d Shelton tweeted, \u201cyou blow me away brother.. There\u2019s nothing easy or fun about writing a song like this but sometimes it\u2019s just something you gotta do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Shelton asked for help from his followers. \u201cCome on everybody this song deserves to be number 1 at least on iTunes. Tweet your friends, tag the song. All people need to do is hear it once. They will want to own it. This song deserves to be recognized,\u201d he wrote. \u201cLet\u2019s go everyone.. Tweet your favorite artist to retweet.. 74 spots to go.. We can do this. This is what country music is all about!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

After a night of retweets and replies and likes, Shelton\u2019s work was almost done.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoly moly we\u2019re really doing it!!!! 45 more spots to go!!!! Let\u2019s do this y\u2019all!! \u2019The Father, My Son and The Holy Ghost\u2019,\u201d he wrote. Then, \u201cThis is really happening y\u2019all!!! 30 more to go!!!!!! \u2019The Father, My Son and The Holy Ghost\u2019 deserves to be heard!\u201d
