I was over there talking to Rodney Crowell and I just heard my name announced.
I [D] said, yes I did it.
[N] Well I'll just take this time to say that Guy and Susanna and a bunch of us go all the way [Ab] back.
[N]
Son and Franny's back there.
And the song that I have the honor of playing and [Gb] doing on [N] this project is a song that Guy had written
[Gb] about a picture that he's had on his [D] workbench.
And I said, [E] [A] what was happening?
And he said, well Towns [C] and I have been up all night and Susanna [D] was pissed.
I said, [Em] yeah I've [D] been around that.
[A] [E]
[D]
So since I have done [E] about half of these songs on [F] my records over the years,
[D]
I called Guy up and said, what ones in the pile would I pick?
[Ab] He said, I'll send them to you when I'm just [D] finished.
I think it's as good as anything I've done.
