Added: 2026-05-13

[00:00:03][music] [music] Welcome down to the old Mississippi swamp docks where the water moves [music] slow and the blues never left.

[00:00:25]Tonight's session starts here. [music] Down at the old fishing [singing] dock boards lean like tide knees.

[00:00:34][music] The river got a muddy mouth and it [music] keeps on talking to me. My coolers gone, my line run slack. Sun stuck [music] in the side black. I hear that rope [music and singing] on soft like it knows I ain't coming back.

[00:00:57]Skiff [music] bumps once, then she bumps again. [singing] Catfish rolling down below when I feel that b.

[00:01:07]Oh, doc.

[00:01:10]Hold me slow.

[00:01:14]Oh, doc, [music] don't let go.

[00:01:20][music] Oh, doc moan beneath my feet.

[00:01:28]Oh, doc, [music] sing with me.

[00:01:33]>> Sing with me.

[00:01:48]>> [music] >> Granddaddy carved his name right there.

[00:01:52][singing] Knock marks in the walked up [music] pine. Said, "Boy, the river keeps your hurt. [music] If you leave it long enough in time, I threw my bait past driftwood [music] ribs. Watch that cork start kissing air. But all I caught [music] was a deep old sound and [singing] your memory leaning there.

[00:02:17][music] Skiff bumps once, then she bumps again.

[00:02:22]Moon on the water like a coin. [music] Rolling through the re.

[00:02:29]Oh, doc.

[00:02:31][music] Oh, slow.

[00:02:36]Oh, doc.

[00:02:39]Don't let go. [music] Oh, doc moan beneath my feet.

[00:02:50]Oh, doc. [music] Sing with me.

[00:02:55]>> Sing with me.

[00:02:58]>> Creeking boards and a crossing wind.

[00:03:02]Brown water, black gin sky. If [music] I stay till the night runs thin. Maybe your [singing] ghost walks by. Maybe you stand where the minnows flash. Where [music] the old nails rust and glow.

[00:03:19]And you [music] hung low as the river flows. [music] Oh mo.

[00:03:29]Hold me slow.

[00:03:33]Oh, Doc Mo, [music] don't let go.

[00:03:40]Oh, Doc Mo, [music] beneath my feet.

[00:03:47]Oh, D Mo, [music] sing with me.

[00:03:52]>> Sing with me.

[00:03:54]>> Yeah. The old Done. [music] And I'm on too.

[00:04:01]Oh, dark moan until I lose you. [music] [music] [music] >> [music] [music] >> Sun on the sink, bottle on his side. [music] Cold little stain [singing] burning in my pride. [music] Your cup on the table, [singing] my name on the lid.

[00:05:02]I swore I'd be better.

[00:05:05]But look what [singing] I did.

[00:05:09]I said I'd quit. [music] I said it clean.

[00:05:15]Then your boots [music] by the door pulled me back in.

[00:05:21]Whiskey in the morning. [music] Whiskey in the morning.

[00:05:27]One more round and I'm falling. Whiskey in [music] the morning. Whiskey in the morning.

[00:05:36]Whiskey in [music] the morning.

[00:05:39]It tastes like regret.

[00:05:42]And I keep calling. Whiskey [music and singing] in the morning.

[00:05:48]Truck keys in my pawn last night in my teeth.

[00:05:54]Your voice in the hall still haunting [singing] me.

[00:06:00][music] The yard looks too bright for this kind of pain.

[00:06:06]I wash my [music] hands off and do it again.

[00:06:12]I told myself I [music] could be strong, but the glass goes quiet, then the her sings [music] along.

[00:06:25]Whiskey in the morning.

[00:06:27][music] Whiskey in the morning.

[00:06:31]One more round and I'm falling. Whiskey [music] in the morning. Whiskey in the morning.

[00:06:40]Whiskey [music] in the morning.

[00:06:43]You taste like regret.

[00:06:46]And I keep calling. Whiskey in the morning. [music] Maybe the sun can't fix this mess.

[00:06:58]Maybe your name won't leave my chest.

[00:07:04]So [music] I stand there SHAKING BY THE KITCHEN LIGHT.

[00:07:10]>> [music] >> AND LET THAT old burn carry me through the night.

[00:07:17][screaming] [music] [music] Whiskey in the morning.

[00:07:35]Whiskey in the morning.

[00:07:38]One more round then I'm falling. Whiskey [music] in the morning. Whiskey in the morning.

[00:07:47]Whiskey in the morning.

[00:07:49]You taste [music] like regret and I keep calling whiskey in [music] the morning.

[00:08:01][music] >> [music] [music] >> Taking pills every morning with the sink running slow. [music] Blue dawn on the counter and your name on the coat. I count the days by heavy.

[00:08:40]I count the holes in the wall. Small white moons in my palm. Then I let them all [singing] fall. I said I'd [music] be all right if I just stayed [singing] busy.

[00:08:53]But the quiet hits hard when the room gets empty.

[00:09:00]Taking [music and singing] pills every morning.

[00:09:03]>> Taking pills every morning.

[00:09:05]>> Trying to keep [music] the floor from swaying.

[00:09:08]>> Trying trying.

[00:09:10]>> Taking pills every morning.

[00:09:13]>> Taking pills every morning.

[00:09:15]>> Tell me this won't [music] be my whole thing.

[00:09:20]Tell me I can still be me.

[00:09:25][music] The kettle clicks once, twice. The mirror tells [music and singing] the truth.

[00:09:32]There's a tide in my eyes that I can't [music] outgrow.

[00:09:37]I wear my smile like a bandage for the people at the door. But when the house goes silent, [music] I feel [singing] it even more. I said I'd be all right [music] if I just stayed busy.

[00:09:53]But the quiet hits hard when the room [music and singing] gets empty.

[00:10:00]Taking pills every morning. [singing] >> Taking pills every morning.

[00:10:05]>> Trying to keep the [music] floor from swaying.

[00:10:08]>> Trying to try.

[00:10:13]>> Taking pills every morning.

[00:10:15]>> Tell me this [singing and music] won't be my whole thing.

[00:10:20]Tell me I can still be me. [music] >> [music] >> Maybe healing is slow. Maybe slow is still a roll. I don't need a miracle, [music] just a little less [singing] slow. Let the panic pass through. Let the minutes turn gold. I'm still [music] here.

[00:10:56]I'm still here.

[00:10:58]That has to count for something.

[00:11:02]Taking pills [singing] every morning.

[00:11:05]>> Taking pills every morning.

[00:11:07]>> Trying to keep the floor [music] from swaying.

[00:11:23]Tell me I can still be me.

[00:11:26]>> Taking pills every morning.

[00:11:31]Tell me I [music] can still be me.

[00:11:38][music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> I grew up [singing] in a poor family.

[00:12:22]Tap water in a cracked blue glass. Mama made soup from the last can. I still found coin for my bus pass. [music] Dad came home with torn up hands, paid it gone before the sun went [music] down.

[00:12:37]We learned how to stretch one meal [singing] and make a little feel like a crown.

[00:12:43]>> [music] >> I seen the bills on [singing] the counter, seen her face go still, seen the silence get [singing] louder [music] when the fridge stayed chill.

[00:12:54]But she said, "Hold on, baby. We'll make it through.

[00:13:00]One [music] more night, one more morning. That's what we do.

[00:13:06]HAND ME DOWN SHOES."

[00:13:08]Still I kept on moving.

[00:13:09][music and singing] Hand me down shoes.

[00:13:14]Still I kept on proving [music] we had less, we had less, but we had love in the room. [music and singing] Hand me down shoes and I walked right through. [music] Lunch tray, light [music] is paper, corns clinkedked in my coat. I smiled [music] at jokes at school, then ate half my toast. [music] I wore the same winter jacket for [music] three straight years, but it fit like a promise [music] through the cold and tears.

[00:13:55]I've seen the bills on the counter, seen the face [music] go still, seen the silence get louder when the fridge [music] stay chill. But she said, "Hold on, baby. We'll make it through.

[00:14:12]One more night, [music] one more morning. [singing] That's what we do.

[00:14:18]Hand me down shoes, [music] still I kept on moving.

[00:14:24]Hand me down shoes, still I kept on [music] proving.

[00:14:30]We had less, we had less, but we had love in the [music and singing] room.

[00:14:35]Hand me down shoes and I walk right through. [music] [music] [music] Now I know what it made me. Not ashamed, not [music] small. Every scar, every shortage taught me how to stand tall.

[00:15:10]Mama, I still your [music] son with the hard days in my view. But I made something out the [singing] broken just like you told me to hand [singing] me down shoes. [music] Still I kept on moving.

[00:15:29]Hand me down shoes. [music] Still I kept on proving we had less. We had less [music] but we had love in the room. [singing] Hand me down shoes [music] and I walk right through.

[00:15:50][music] [music] >> [music] [music] >> Life was hard on that old block.

[00:16:36]Pay bills and [music] a ticking [singing] clock.

[00:16:43]Mama said, "Hold on." [music] Through the rain, I learned to smile [music] and hide the pain.

[00:16:57]But I kept [singing and music] going one more day. Even when the ground gave way, I was bent. I was bruised. [music] Still here. Still choosing you. LIFE [screaming] WAS HARD, [music] but I stay.

[00:17:19]Life was hard.

[00:17:22]I made my way, [music] took the hits, kept my heart. Life was hard, but I [singing] stay.

[00:17:39][music] Empty fridge and a torn down [singing] coat. [music] Cold bus ride.

[00:17:50]Hook by thread. [music] I know friends moved on, some [music] doors shut.

[00:18:01]I kept my name in a closed [music] up fist, but I kept [singing] going one more day.

[00:18:12]Even [music] when the ground gave way, I was bent. I was bruised. Still here.

[00:18:20]Still choosing you. Life was hard, [music] but I stayed.

[00:18:29]Life was hard. [music] I made my way. [singing] Took the hits, kept my heart. Life was hard, [music] but I stay.

[00:18:48]>> [music] [music] >> Now [music] I see what he gave me.

[00:19:12]Scarred hands, but they still hold dreams. If I break, I don't break down.

[00:19:19]I build a home on HARDER GROUND.

[00:19:22][screaming] LIFE WAS HARD, but I stay. [music] Life was hard.

[00:19:32]I made my way. [music] Took the hits, kept my [music] heart.

[00:19:40]Life was hard, but I stay.

[00:19:52][music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Okay. Keep the extra plate out. [music] By habit, by grief, your mug still on the shelf like you might come back [music] for tea.

[00:20:50]The house knows your footsteps [music] better than I do.

[00:20:58]I walk past your [music] doorway.

[00:21:03]and it walks me through.

[00:21:07]Some days I still reach [singing] for a name in the air. Some days I still [music] turn like you'll be standing there, but the room [singing] stays quiet and my hands stay [music] cold.

[00:21:20]I'm learning how to carry [music] what I can't let go. I lost people I love.

[00:21:31]I lost people [music] I love [singing] their names in my mouth [music] like a prayer in [singing] the mud.

[00:21:45]I lost people [music] I love.

[00:21:49]I lost people I love.

[00:21:53]And I'm still here breathing [music] with the holes they cut deep enough.

[00:22:04]There's a dent [music] in the sofa from where [singing] you used to sit. A scarf on the hook. I can't bring myself to [music] hit the calendar. [singing] Moved on, but I got left behind. I laugh at the table. [music] Then I [singing] break in time.

[00:22:25]Some nights I still hear [music] that old familiar sound. A door, a laugh, a cup setting down on the ground. Then the dark comes back [music] and [singing] it takes its toll. I'm learning how to carry [music] what I can't let [singing] go. I lost people I love.

[00:22:49][music] I lost people I love.

[00:22:53]their names in my [music] mouth like a prayer in the [singing] mud. [music] I lost people I love. [singing] I lost people I love and I'm [music] still here breathing with the holes they cut deep enough.

[00:23:18][music] Love was a room then mine is missing walls wind moves right through it. But [music] I stand through it all. I don't need to forget you to make it to dawn. I just need one more step. [music] When the whole world feels gone. I lost people [music] I love.

[00:23:47]I lost people I love. [music] Their names [singing] in my mouth like a prayer in the mud.

[00:24:00][music] I lost people I love.

[00:24:05]I lost people I love.

[00:24:09]And I'm [music] still here breathing [singing] with the holes they cut deep enough.

[00:24:16][music] Still here breathing.

[00:24:24][music] Still here breathing [music] with the holes they cut deep enough.

[00:24:36][music] >> [music] >> Yeah. [music] Ah. [music] >> [music] [music] >> Six long months on a hard bench seat. [music] Dust on my boots and gravel in my teeth. [music] Got a one cheap bag.

[00:25:37]>> [music] >> and a tank on low.

[00:25:40]But that red [singing] clay line [music] won't let me go.

[00:25:46]I can smell that rain on the river road.

[00:25:49][music] See that porch light through the evening glow. [singing] My name still lives in the same front yard and it pulls me back [music] from this far off bar.

[00:26:01]Mississippi, I'm coming [music] home.

[00:26:04]Mississippi, I'm coming home. Back to [music] the dock in the screen door tone.

[00:26:13][music] Mississippi, I'm coming home. Mississippi, [music] I am coming home.

[00:26:25][music] Mama's got beans [music] on the old stove warm.

[00:26:42]Daddy's still cussing through a [music] thunder stone.

[00:26:48]My old dog hears me before I say hey.

[00:26:54]runs to [music] the truck like I never [singing] stayed away.

[00:27:01]I can smell that rain [singing] on the river road. See that porch light through the evening glow. My [music and singing] name still lives in the same front yard and it pulls me back from this far off ball. [music] Mississippi, I'm coming home.

[00:27:20]Mississippi, [music] I'm coming [singing] home. Back to the dock and the screen [music] door tone.

[00:27:29]Mississippi, I'm coming home. Mississippi, [music] I [singing] am coming home.

[00:27:39][music] >> [music] >> Let the miles roll off. [music] Let the hard times fade. I'm done with the roads [music] that kept me afraid.

[00:28:04]If the whole world calls, [music] I won't hear it now.

[00:28:10]Cuz my heart already knows that county line down.

[00:28:17]Mississippi, I'm coming [music] home. Mississippi, I'm coming home.

[00:28:22][singing] Back to the dock in the screen [music] door tone.

[00:28:29]Mississippi, I'm [music] coming home. Mississippi, I'm coming home.

[00:28:44]Ah, [music] hey.

[00:28:55][music] [music] >> [music] [music] >> My old man played the swamp [music] blues with a thumbn grin in a black band hat.

[00:29:33][music] Mud on the boots by the screen door.

[00:29:39][music] Moonshine jar and a beat up strap.

[00:29:45]He'd sang to the cane field [music] when the night got low and the fros got loud.

[00:29:54][music] Said, "Boy, keep it slow now.

[00:29:59][music] Let the hurt [singing] come out.

[00:30:03]And I hear that pull from the back [music] porch floor.

[00:30:08]One hard no, then it wants [music and singing] one more. I can smell that rain on the river roll. [music] When he hit that string, Lord, it shook my bones. MY [screaming] OLD MAN PLAYED THE [music] swamp blues.

[00:30:27]My old man [singing] play the swamp blue. It's sunken [music] deep. It's stuck like blue. It's stuck like glue.

[00:30:34]>> My old man play the [music] swamp blues.

[00:30:37]>> My [singing] old man play the swamp blue. And I still hear that midnight groove.

[00:30:45]I still hear that midnight groove.

[00:30:49][music] He'd fix [music and singing] that amp with a butter knife. Tapped the box till it came back mean pocket full of old [singing] dogged lyrics [music] and a scar with a slide ring glean. He taught me pain can dance if you give it room and a steady [music] hand. So I carry that weather like a singed of brand. [singing] And when the [music] storm rolls in across a tin roof line I feel his voice on the edge of town.

[00:31:25]>> [music] >> One foot in THE DIRT, ONE EYE ON the sky.

[00:31:31]Every broken cord still gets me by. MY OLD MAN PLAY [music] THE swamp blue. My old man play the swamp blue. It's sunken deep.

[00:31:43][singing] It's stuck like blue. It's stuck like blue. My old man play the [music] swamp blue. My old man play the swamp blue. And I still hear that midnight groove.

[00:31:58]I still hear that midnight groove.

[00:32:04]Now the [music] house is quiet, but the frame still rings.

[00:32:09]Every loose [music] board knows what that mey brings.

[00:32:14]>> [music] >> If I lose my way in the heat and the smoke, I find that tune in my throat. [music] MY OLD MAN played the swamp blue. My old man played the [music] swamp blue. It sunk in deep. It stuck like glue. IT STUCK LIKE GLUE. MY OLD MAN PLAYED THE [music] swamp blue. My old man played the swamp blue. And I still hear that midnight groove. [music] I still HEAR THAT MIDNIGHT GROOVE.

[00:32:58]My old man played [music] the swamp blue. My old man played the swarm blues.

[00:33:07][music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> Kentucky mornings.

[00:33:37]Do drops on the fence. Black coffee [music] by the sink and a screen door that won't sit still. Your boots by the mud from yesterday's rain. I can hear the whole phone waking through the blue along [singing] the hill. [music] You laugh in the doorway. Hair still half undone. [singing] [music] Say the day looks honest like it knows where it's from. [music] Kentucky moans.

[00:34:09]Stay on my mind.

[00:34:12][music] Kentucky [singing] morning.

[00:34:15]You and me in time. Roll that window down. Let the [music] whole world [singing] go slow. Kentucky morning.

[00:34:27][music] That's the place I know.

[00:34:34]Yellow light on the pasture. [music] Mailbox leaning left. Your name on the lunch bag written in [music and singing] blue ink pen.

[00:34:45]Mama at the table shelling peas in a bowl. Front porch talking summer. Come back again. [music] You say don't rush it. Let the day [singing] unfold. There's a [music] little piece of heaven in the gravel and the gold. Kentucky [singing] mornings stay on my mind.

[00:35:11][singing] Kentucky [music] mornings.

[00:35:14]You and me in time. Roll that window [music] down. Let the whole world go [singing] slow. Kentucky mornings.

[00:35:24][music] That's the place I know.

[00:35:32][music] [music] [music] Let the crow call first. Let the truck ties home. Let the fields get silver when the day is done. If [music] I leave this town, I'm still caring home. In the way you say my [music] name in the porch lights glow.

[00:36:14]Kentucky mornings, [music] stay on my [singing] mind.

[00:36:19]Kentucky mornings.

[00:36:22]You and me [singing] and [music] time roll out a window down.

[00:36:27]Let the whole world [singing] go [music] slow. Kentucky morning.

[00:36:34]That's the place I know. [music] Kentucky mornings. [singing] [music] I'm never far from home.

[00:36:51]>> [music] [music] >> Heat. Heat.

[00:37:13][music] >> [music] >> Down by the river, I found your jacket on the stone, but on the cuffs [music] and your name still on my phone. You said, "Meet me here." [music] When the day was falling hard, so I came [singing] alone [music] with a pocket full of stars. The water kept moving [music] like it knew what to do. My hands kept shaking when [music] I CALLED FOR YOU.

[00:37:54]DOWN BY the river, down by the river, [music] I keep your name in my mouth.

[00:38:06]Down by [music] the river.

[00:38:08]Down by the river.

[00:38:12]I won't let go now. [music] There was a tire swing [music] turning slow in the dark. A broken fishing line caught around my heart. Your laugh came back to me [music] in the reeds and the cold. I stood where you left [music] and I let it unfold.

[00:38:42]The water kept [singing] moving like it knew what to do. [music] My hands kept shaking when I CALLED FOR YOU. DOWN BY the river.

[00:38:55]Down [music] by the river.

[00:38:58]I keep your name in my mouth.

[00:39:03]Down by the [music] river.

[00:39:06]Down by the river.

[00:39:10]I won't [music] let go now.

[00:39:24]>> [music] >> If you come back tonight, I'll be waiting on the bank. Bare feet, blue jeans, and a heart that never sank. Down by the river.

[00:39:50]Down by the river. [music] I keep your name in my mouth. [music] Down by the river.

[00:40:01]Down by the river. [music] I won't let [singing] go now. [music] Down by the river.

[00:40:12]Down by the river.

[00:40:15]I keep your name in my mouth. [music] Down by the river.

[00:40:23]Down by the river.

[00:40:27]I won't let [singing] go now. [music] >> [music] [music] >> I kept your sweater on the chair. Still [music] smells [singing] like home in the air. Your name sits quiet in my phone. Like a room [singing] that never got sold. I laugh but it don't reach my eyes. Some days I just let time pass by and [music and singing] every plate of dinner stays.

[00:41:20]Except for you in my mind. I was a kid [music] in your arms. Now I'm just trying to be strong. But some nights, baby, I fall apart.

[00:41:31]And I still call [singing] your name.

[00:41:34]Mama, I miss you. [music] >> Mama, I miss [singing] you.

[00:41:40]>> Mama, I miss you. [music] Come back close again. Mama, I need you.

[00:41:48][music] Mama, I need you.

[00:41:52]>> Mama, I miss you. [music] Hold me like you did.

[00:41:59][music] I see you in my crooked smile. In the [music] way I walk for miles in the notes you used to leave. [singing] Tucked inside my memories. I wish I could bring you the moon. [music] Lay it down right next to you. tell you all the things I [music and singing] never said with my head on your chest. I was a kid in your arms. Now I'm just trying to be strong. But some nights, baby, [music] I fall apart.

[00:42:43]And I still call your name. Mama, I miss you. [music] >> Mama, I miss you.

[00:42:51]>> Mama, I miss you.

[00:42:54][music] Come back close again. Mama, I need you.

[00:42:59][music] >> Mama, I need you.

[00:43:04]>> Mama, I miss you. [music] [singing] Hold me like you did.

[00:43:11][music] [music] If love could open doors, I'd be [singing] knocking at yours with all these broken [music] pieces in this heart.

[00:43:40]You still know.

[00:43:43]Mama, I miss you.

[00:43:46]>> Mama, I miss you. [singing] >> Mama, I miss you. Ooh. [music] Come back close again. Mama, I need you.

[00:43:56][music] >> Mama, I need you.

[00:44:01]>> Mama, I miss you. [music] Hold me like you did.

[00:44:08][music] Hey. Hey. Hey.

[00:44:23][music] [music] [music] I punched in before [music and singing] sunrise.

[00:44:55]Hands rough back low.

[00:44:59]Rain on the bus window. [music] Same boots, same road. Clocked out with the [music] dark still.

[00:45:10]Brought home dust on my skin.

[00:45:13]Mama said keep going. So [music] I did.

[00:45:18]So I did. I gave the miles my name. Gave the nights my best. If I fall in the red, I still paid that debt. I worked all my life.

[00:45:30]I wore that line.

[00:45:34]I earned these scars one day at a [music] time.

[00:45:41]I worked all my life. [music] I'm still here alive.

[00:45:48]>> Give me mine. [music] >> Give me mine.

[00:45:58][music] Counted coins on the counter [music] just to make rent do.

[00:46:07]took the last shift [music] waiting while the whole town knew.

[00:46:14]My hands know the hard way. MY HEART KNOWS THE [music] COST.

[00:46:21]Every step I swallowed, still I [music] never got lost. I gave the miles my name. Gave the nights my best. If I fall in the red, I still paid that debt. I worked all my life.

[00:46:38]I wore that line.

[00:46:42]I earned these scars [music] one day at a time.

[00:46:49]I worked all my life.

[00:46:52]I'm still here alive.

[00:46:56]Give me mine. [music] Give me mine.

[00:47:04]I don't need gold on my collar. Just a weight lifted off.

[00:47:11]A little room for my mother. Little peace [music] in the frost.

[00:47:18]If you see me standing, know I carried it all. Oh my life.

[00:47:28]Oh my life. [music] I worked all my life.

[00:47:35]I wore that line.

[00:47:39]I earned these scars one day at a time.

[00:47:46]I worked all my life.

[00:47:49]I'm still here alive.

[00:47:53]Give me mine.

[00:47:57]Give [music] me mine.

[00:48:00]I worked whole my life. [singing] Now watch me rise. [music] [music] [music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> I hit the gravel bin. Dust on my boots [music] again. Your tail lights fade [singing] to red by the church in the old gas shed. [music] You said don't call my name if I'm still half in shame.

[00:49:03][music] But I stood there in the lane with a map [singing] and a match to blame.

[00:49:10]Now the sky goes black and gold [music] and my hands [singing] won't let you go.

[00:49:15]There ain't one road left to choose when the whole world [singing] feels like [music] you. Meet you at the crossroad.

[00:49:23]Meet you at the crossroad.

[00:49:26]If you turn, I'll [music] turn two. I still know the way to you. Meet you at the crossroad.

[00:49:34][music] Meet you at the crossroad.

[00:49:36]Two hards, one brave [singing] road. Say [music] the word and we both go.

[00:49:48]>> [music] >> Your house keys in my coat. [music] Your last take six words wrote. Maybe if we try this once, I read [singing] it like a second son. The train cut the fields in half. I laughed and I almost cried.

[00:50:09][music] Cuz every sign I [singing] passed had your name on the other side.

[00:50:15]Now the sky [music] goes black and gold [singing] and my hands won't let you go. There ain't one road left to choose. When the whole world feels like you. Meet you at the crossroad. [music] [singing] Meet you at the crossro.

[00:50:31]If you turn, I'll turn to. I still know the way [music] to you. Meet you at the crossroad.

[00:50:39]Meet you at the crossroad.

[00:50:42]Two hard hearts, one brave road.

[00:50:45][singing] Say the [music] word and we both go.

[00:50:52][music] [music] If the [music] engine idles low, I'll be the first to know. I [music] don't need a perfect plan, just your hand in my hand.

[00:51:22]Meet you at the crossroad.

[00:51:24]Meet you at the crossroad.

[00:51:27]If you turn, I'll [singing] turn to. I still know the way to you. Meet you at [music] the crossroad.

[00:51:35]Meet you at the crossroad.

[00:51:38]Two hard hearts, one brave road. Say the word and we [music] both go.

[00:51:51][music] >> [music] [music] >> Saw your name on a bent [singing] of note. [music] Stuck to the fridge by the faded [singing] toes.

[00:52:32]whole paint chip in the corner box. You left your key and I [singing] never tossed. [music] I still know that look when you turn away. I still know the way you say my name.

[00:52:51]My old love.

[00:52:54]My old love. You still hit hard.

[00:52:58][singing] My old love. [music] My old love. I can't let go of my old love. [music] Black coffee ring on the table.

[00:53:19][music and singing] Two crack mugs from that [music and singing] April storm. Your jacket gone, but the smell [music and singing] stayed long in the back of drawers, in the walls of songs.

[00:53:34][music] I tried to swap your ghost for new, but every street brings [music] me back [singing] to you.

[00:53:46]My old love, my old love, [music] you still hit hard.

[00:53:53][singing] My old love.

[00:53:56]My old love. [music] I can't let go of my old love.

[00:54:04][music] [music] >> [music] >> If you ever call, I won't act brave.

[00:54:30][music] I take that hurt like the old days.

[00:54:35]One small sign, ONE crack reply, and I'd be there [music] at your door [singing] tonight. And my old love, [music] my old love, you still hit hard.

[00:54:53]My old love, my old love, [music] I can't let go.

[00:54:59][singing] My old love. [music] [music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> I can still see the fence post lean [music] by the bin where [singing] the blackbird [music] scream.

[00:56:00]Mud on my boots, sun in my eyes.

[00:56:06]Mama on the porch, [music] screen door [singing] size.

[00:56:13]Take me back, take me [music] slow. Pass that turn WHERE TALL WEEDS GROW. [music] That old dirt road to my home. [music] >> That old dirt road.

[00:56:28]>> It knows my name.

[00:56:31]It won't let go. [singing] That old dirt road >> I left for years.

[00:56:37]Still hear it called.

[00:56:41]That old dirt road to my home.

[00:56:47][music] Front [music] tire hung on the gravel ruts.

[00:57:00]Hail [music] box bin from a dozen trucks.

[00:57:06]Dust on the dash.

[00:57:09]Red clay rise. [music] Fields rolling on to the edge of the sky.

[00:57:19]Take me [music] back. Take me near to the place that made me here. [music] That old dirt road to my home.

[00:57:32]>> That [music and singing] old dirt road, >> it knows my name.

[00:57:37]It won't let go. [music] >> That old road I left for years.

[00:57:43]Still hear it call.

[00:57:46]That old dirt road to my home. [music] >> [music] >> One [music] porch light, one old oak tree, one small [music] town still inside of me. That old dirt road to my home. That older road, it knows [music] my name, [singing] it won't let go.

[00:58:29]>> That older road, >> IF I GET LOST, I know the [music] way.

[00:58:37]That old dirt road [music] to my home.

[00:58:47][music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> Mhm.

[00:59:34]>> [music] >> First in the yard, [singing] last out the gate. [music] Boots on the dust, lunch on the plate.

[00:59:46]Little by little, [music] brick by brick.

[00:59:51]You don't get far [music] if you don't stay [singing] with it.

[00:59:56]Sweat on my shirt, dirt on my knees.

[01:00:02]I learn the truth [music] from the things you can't see. [singing] Hard work, [music] hard work pays in the long run. Hard work, hard [music] work till the job gets [singing] done. I keep my head down. I keep my heart strong.

[01:00:22][music] Hard work. Hard work.

[01:00:26]That's where I come from. [music] Hard work.

[01:00:37][music] Mama said, "Hold on."

[01:00:41]When the floorboard shake.

[01:00:43]Some days you build, some [music] days [singing] you just wait. A hammer in hand, a prayer in your throat, one [music] steady step. That's how you grow. Sweat on my shirt, dirt on my [music] knees.

[01:01:04]I learn the truth from the things [singing] you can't see.

[01:01:10]Hard work, hard work [music] pays in the long run. Hard work, hard work till the job gets [music] done. I keep my head down. I keep my heart strong. Hard work, hard work.

[01:01:29]That's where I come from.

[01:01:33]Hard work.

[01:01:46][music] [music] Not every [singing] wind comes loud and fast. Some roots [singing] go deep and they hold [music] you back. So I keep on when my arms feel weak. One more mile, one more week. [music] Hard [singing] work, hard work pays in the long run. Hard [music and singing] work, hard work till the job gets done.

[01:02:30]I keep my head [music] down. I keep my heart strong. Hard [singing] work. Hard work.

[01:02:39]That's where I come [singing] from.

[01:02:42][music] Hard work.

[01:02:46]Hard [singing] work. Hard [music] work.

[01:02:50]That's where I come from.

[01:02:55][music] >> [music] [music] >> That old swamp.

[01:03:26]keeps my secrets. Moss on the fence post, black mud on my [singing] boots.

[01:03:34]I lost my name there down by the [music] Cyprus. Took one wrong step and it knew me through. [music] Water on the [singing] moon, ripples in the cane. I HEARD MY own breath [music] calling out my name. That old [singing] swamp.

[01:03:53]>> That old swamp >> won't let go.

[01:03:55]>> Won't let go.

[01:03:56]>> It pulled me in [music] and it taught me slow. That old swamp.

[01:04:02]>> That old swamp >> got a hold [music] got a hold on me. [singing] [music] Catfish are rolling [music] under the still water. Old tin shack leaning in the heat. [music] A whitey gray cuts through the fog bang like a clean thought [music] I can't keep.

[01:04:41]Water on the moon, ripples [music] in the cane. I heard my own breath calling out my name. That old swamp. [music] That old swamp >> won't let go. Won't let go. It pulled me in and it taught me [music] slow. That old swamp. That old swamp >> got a hold.

[01:05:05][music] Got a hold on me.

[01:05:26]>> [music] >> Some [music] folks run when the dark gets heavy. I sit right [music] still.

[01:05:37]Let it circle me. If you hear that hush past [music] the broken dark, that ain't the night. [music] That's the swamp in me.

[01:05:52][music] That old [singing] swamp.

[01:05:54]>> That old swamp >> won't let go.

[01:05:56]>> Won't let go. [music] >> It pulled me in and it taught me slow. [singing] That old swamp.

[01:06:03]>> That old swamp.

[01:06:04]>> Got a hold.

[01:06:08]Got a hold on me.

[01:06:11]That old swan.

[01:06:13]>> That old swan >> won't let go.

[01:06:17][music] Won't let go.

[01:06:23][music] [music]
