_ [N] And Johnny Gimbel and Alan Shagline were playing Western Swing and Farmerly Bob Wills songs [B] during the service for Keith Coleman.
[N] And Johnny made a statement, he said,

And it was Keith's turn. _ _
We didn't get out of town until I wrote this song, and little did I know that at this time,
only one of these people that I mentioned in this song were gone.
