No, not exactly. On the Tammy Wynette Anniversary compilation it's credited
to J. Paycheck-F. Foley-C. Owen, but BMI's searchable database at
http://bmi.com/home_rep.html lists it as Paycheck and Bobby (not Billy)
Austin, so that's probably a safer bet.
Trying to track down some of this stuff will give you fits, even when it's
relatively recent (like "Apartment Number Nine") and it seems like it ought
to be cut and dried.
