_ _ _ I want to say the writer of that song was a man named Leon Payne
They call him the Blind Balladeer
_ And I remember one day we were heading to Bandera
And Leon invited my daddy over for a beer at his house
And Leon and his wife were both blind
I'll never forget this
And I would watch Leon walk to the icebox
Get something out to drink, sit it down at the table
And would never miss a beat or stumble
It just blew my mind
And my daddy told me at that point
He said some people, they got this inner sight
They just can feel and see things other people don't see
And I want to thank you, Leon Payne
I think the world needs to discover Leon Payne again
Remember that name, the Blind Balladeer Leon Payne Okay _
