Country music's huge. The listening audience with radio is huge, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:06 | |
the record-buying audience is huge. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Country music is part of the life of the country music listener. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:15 | |
I mean, they live it, they live the songs. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
I cannot tell you how many country fans have told me | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
over the years, "When I was 20 years old I hated country music. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
"I didn't like it." No, you just hadn't lived enough. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
Songwriter rounds and shows, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
it's really a piece of country music history. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
You know, Bill was there. We called 'em guitar pulls. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
One guy'd play a song and you'd pull on his guitar... | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Pull his guitar away from him. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
And we'd just pass the guitar around and play. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
This is our first evening together, the three of us. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Sat down in a room with our guitars going, "OK, what are you doing? | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
"What do you want to do?" | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
You're not going to play THAT chord, are you? | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
I think a lot of fans like going from what they've heard | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
in the finished product to hearing it raw, warts and all. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Cue the applause. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING -Thank you. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
Awesome. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
Well, we've brought some great country music | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
and some great country songwriters and some great country artists, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:09 | |
and I've got two of 'em sitting right over here. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
This guy here, his name is Clint Black, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
Please say hello. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
Thank you very much. We are thrilled to be here, and we, uh, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
we were playing here earlier before you got here, it wasn't the same. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
So we're glad you're here. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
This song, it's what first brought me over here to London, back in 1989. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
# You were the first thing that I thought of | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
# When I thought I drank you off my mind | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
# When I get lost in the liquor | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
# You're the only one I find | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
# And if I did the things I oughta | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
# You still would not be mine | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
# So I'll keep a tight grip on the bottle | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
# Gettin' loose and killin' time Help me, y'all | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
# And this killin' time is killin' me | 0:05:21 | 0:05:30 | |
# Drinking myself blind Thinkin' I won't see | 0:05:30 | 0:05:39 | |
# That if I cross that line and they bury me | 0:05:39 | 0:05:47 | |
# Well, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity | 0:05:47 | 0:05:54 | |
# Well I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
# I've been lost in yesterday | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
# I've spent all my life just dying | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
# For a love that passed away | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
# And if there's an end to all my sorrow | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
# And this is the only price I'll pay | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
# I'll be a happy man when I go | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
# And I can't wait another day | 0:06:34 | 0:06:40 | |
# This killin' time is killin' me | 0:06:40 | 0:06:48 | |
# Drinking myself blind thinkin' I don't see | 0:06:49 | 0:06:57 | |
# That if I cross that line and they bury me | 0:06:57 | 0:07:05 | |
# Well, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity | 0:07:05 | 0:07:14 | |
# I said, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity. # | 0:07:14 | 0:07:21 | |

Clint Black. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
Thank you. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
This next gentleman and I first met at the Grand Ole Opry. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
He's been performing for 50 years now, | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
and written hits for himself and so many others. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
Please welcome Mr Bill Anderson. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |

Like a lot of people, I started out as a songwriter. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
And it's kind of funny because people will come up to you | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
and ask you what you do, and you tell them you're a songwriter. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
And they say, "Well, what does that mean? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
"What do you mean you're a songwriter?" | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Well, first, you have to have a very vivid imagination. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
And then it just kind of falls into place. Here's what songwriters do. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
# We get to break out of prison | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
# Make love to our best friend's wife | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
# Have a beer for breakfast in Boston | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
# And drink rum in Jamaica that night | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
# We get to tell all our secrets | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
# In a code no-one understands | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
# We get to shoot all the bad guys | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
# And never get blood on our hands | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
# We're heroes, we're schemers We're drunks, we're dreamers | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
# We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
# We're the students We're the teachers | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
# We're the Devil We're the preachers | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
# We're true love but mostly one-nighters | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
# We're the songwriters | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
# Half of the world thinks we're crazy | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
# The other half wants to be us | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
# They're jealous cos we get to hang out | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
# In the back of some big star's tour bus | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
# We're old boots and t-shirts and blue jeans | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
# We're capos and strings and E chords | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
# We only dress up in November | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
# When they hand out songwriters' awards | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
# We're heroes, we're schemers We're the drunks, we're the dreamers | 0:10:08 | 0:10:13 | |
# We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
# We're stupid, we're wise We're the truth, we're the lies | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
# We're true love but mostly one-nighters | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
# We're the songwriters | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
# We write bridges, cross 'em and burn 'em | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
# Teach lessons but don't bother to learn 'em | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
# Our mothers don't know what we're doin' | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
# Or why we stay out all night long | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
# I told mine I was a drug dealer | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
# She said, "Thank God you ain't writin' songs" | 0:10:54 | 0:10:59 | |
# We're heroes, we're schemers We're the drunks, we're the dreamers | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
# We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
# We're the students We're the teachers | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
# We're the Devil, we're preachers | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
# We're true love but mostly one-nighters | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
# We're the songwriters... # | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
I've had people ask me why I wrote this song. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
I tell 'em I was the only one that knew the words. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:29 | |
You know the difference between a songwriter and a large pizza? | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
A large pizza can feed a family of four. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
# Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do. # | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
Bill Anderson. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
Well, that's the truth. What he just sang is the truth. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:02 | |
I think Harlan Howard said a real country song | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
is three chords and the truth, which is pretty much the truth, you know. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:11 | |
It's life put to music, and this country song started in the UK. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:19 | |
I was here working with a friend of mine who was recording, | 0:12:19 | 0:12:25 | |
and it was my first trip to the UK, so I was like, "Wow! | 0:12:25 | 0:12:31 | |
"Stuff's really old here. It's really old." | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
And we would take a break during the recording session | 0:12:35 | 0:12:40 | |
and we would go to the local pub. And they're not fooling around here. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:45 | |
Y'all really drink beer here, don't ya? | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
After about three of those, I think I was speaking Turkish, | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
and we walked back across the street and there was this beautiful church. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:03 | |
I've came to find out it was a 700-year-old church, and I remember | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
walking up to it going, "I'm going to write a song about you!" | 0:13:07 | 0:13:12 | |
"I'm going to write a song about this church." | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
The next day, I flew home with a hangover. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
And as we crossed into Nashville, we crossed the Cumberland River, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:25 | |
and somehow The Church On Cumberland Road came out of those two things. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:31 | |
And I got, Clint Black is going to play a little harmonica with me, | 0:13:31 | 0:13:36 | |
-if you would, sir. -I remember some of it. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
# Just about a mile off of 109 | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
# There's a little church layin' back in the pines | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
# Told that little girl she was going to be mine | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
# Wouldn't be surprised if she was standin' there cryin' | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
# Whoa-oh | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
# Didn't know a bored-out Ford | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
# Could go so slow | 0:14:09 | 0:14:15 | |
# Whoa-oh | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
# You've got to put your foot down on the floor | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
# Yeah, we've been rocking all night, don't you know? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
# Got to get me to the church on Cumberland Road | 0:14:30 | 0:14:36 | |
# Billy's passed out in the back but I think he's alive | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
# Bobby got his head hangin' over the side | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
# Here you are only doin' 95 | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
# What's the matter with you, man? I thought you said you could drive | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
# Whoa-oh | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
# Didn't know a bored-out Ford | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
# Could go so slow | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
# Whoa-oh | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
# You got to put your foot down on the floor | 0:15:12 | 0:15:18 | |
# Yeah, we've been rocking all night, don't you know? | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
# You got to get me to the church on Cumberland Road... # | 0:15:24 | 0:15:30 | |
Come on, Clint Black! | 0:15:32 | 0:15:33 | |
Play some! | 0:15:34 | 0:15:35 | |
Clint Black on the harmonica. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |

Clint Black on the harmonica! Woo! | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
This is a relatively new song of mine I wrote with Hayden, | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
my lead guitarist. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
Uh, he's about a year ahead of us with child-rearing. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
He had a son about a year before my wife and I had our daughter Lily. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
And we hadn't written anything for about three years. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
And we finally got together and wrote this song. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
# How can we know how far | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
# The long way can be? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
# Looking from where we are | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
# It never seemed that long to me | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
# I've many miles behind me | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
# Maybe not so much ahead | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
# It seems I made good time | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
# With the directions I misread | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
# So I'm going to spend my time Like it's going out of style | 0:19:31 | 0:19:39 | |
# I'm moving the bottom line Farther than a country mile | 0:19:39 | 0:19:46 | |
# I still have hills to climb Before I hit that wall | 0:19:46 | 0:19:55 | |
# No matter how much time I buy | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
# I can never spend it all | 0:19:59 | 0:20:04 | |
# Funny thing, that time | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
# We're always running out | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
# I'm always losing mine | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
# There's not enough of it about | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
# And though it's always here | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
# It'll always come and go | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
# The days become the years | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
# That'll be gone before you know | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
# So I'm going to spend my time Like it's going out of style | 0:20:38 | 0:20:45 | |
# I'm moving the bottom line Better than a country mile | 0:20:45 | 0:20:53 | |
# I still have hills to climb | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
# Before I hit that wall | 0:20:56 | 0:21:01 | |
# I won't go quietly into that dark night | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
# There'll be no more burning daylight | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
# I'll be living in | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
# Every moment that I'm in | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
# Oh, I'm going to spend my time Like it's going out of style | 0:21:18 | 0:21:24 | |
# And I'll only use what's mine I've been savin' for a while | 0:21:24 | 0:21:32 | |
# I still have hills to climb | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |

Clint Black. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
Nice. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:37 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
You guys know. Bob, I know you and Clint, you both know, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
when you sit down and write a song, | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
you have no idea where it might end up. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
Every once in a while, one will get recorded by somebody | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
that's the last person in the world | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
you think might record one of your songs. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
Anybody here ever heard of a funny man by the name of Ken Dodd? | 0:23:03 | 0:23:08 | |
How tickled I am! | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
I never would in all of my life ever thought that this song would ever | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
make it across the Atlantic ocean and that he would end up making | 0:23:19 | 0:23:24 | |
a record out of it and it would become part of his signature. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
You guys have probably never heard this, | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
cos this has never been a hit in the United States. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
If you know the words, and you probably, not many words to know! | 0:23:34 | 0:23:40 | |
So help me out. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:41 | |
# Happiness, happiness | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
# The greatest gift that I possess | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
# I thank the Lord I've been blessed | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
# With more than my share of happiness | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
# To me this world is a wonderful place | 0:23:58 | 0:24:02 | |
# And I'm the happiest human in the human race | 0:24:02 | 0:24:07 | |
# I've got no silver and I've got no gold | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
# Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
# Happiness, come on Happiness | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
# The greatest gift that I possess | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
# I thank the Lord I've been blessed | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
# With more than my share of happiness... # | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
I came to the UK in the early 1970s with Conway Twitty | 0:24:30 | 0:24:35 | |
and Loretta Lynn, | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
and a reporter from one of the British newspapers... | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
oh, they love entertainers. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
They came out and reviewed one of our shows. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
A lot of my songs, I do with narrations. I have a nickname. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:53 | |
They call me Whispering Bill, among other things. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
And when I recorded the song Happiness, I talked the verses, | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
but Ken Dodd sang them. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
And I guess this reporter wasn't used to Bill Anderson's version. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
So the next day in the paper it said, | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
and I quote, I have memorised this. I'll never forget it. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
"Bill Anderson has a curious habit | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
"of pausing in the middle of his songs to recite little poems, | 0:25:20 | 0:25:26 | |
"some of which are so sentimental, | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
"they would make a greeting card blush." | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
And from that day on, Conway Twitty called me Hallmark. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:39 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
# Happiness to me is an ocean tide | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
# Or a sunset fading on a mountainside | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
# Or a big old heaven full of stars above | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
# When I'm in the arms of the one I love | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |
# And happiness is a field of grain | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
# Lifting its face to the falling rain | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
# I see it in the sunshine and I breathe it in the air | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
# Happiness, oh it's everywhere, come on | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
# Happiness, happiness | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
# The greatest gift that I possess | 0:26:17 | 0:26:22 | |
# I thank the Lord cos I've been blessed | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
# With more than my share of happiness | 0:26:25 | 0:26:30 | |
# A wise old man told me one time | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
# He said, "Son, happiness is just a frame of mind" | 0:26:35 | 0:26:40 | |
# I hope when they go to measurin' my success | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
# They don't count my money Count my happiness | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
# Happiness, happiness | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
# The greatest gift that I possess | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
# I thank the Lord I've been blessed | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
# With more than my share of happiness | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
# More than my share of happiness | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
Now that's a country song. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
It's three chords and the truth, I mean, how good is THAT? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
It is funny how songs | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
just kind of, sometimes they live in your head for a long time, and then, | 0:27:40 | 0:27:45 | |
all of a sudden, they come out, and this next song was kind of like that. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:50 | |
There was a DJ in my little town, Youngstown, Ohio, | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
his name was Boots Bill, and he would go, "Hello, everybody, | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
"this is Boots Bill, I got boots in your belfry, | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
"and we're here all night long. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
"All day long. A million watts of love power, coming on strong." | 0:28:00 | 0:28:06 | |
And I thought, "Wow, a million watts! That's more than a thousand. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
"There must be a lot of love power." | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
So, come time to write this next song, he just ended up in the song. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:22 | |
And it was kind of like a love song to the radio. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
# Somebody's at the front door I can hear 'em knockin' | 0:28:44 | 0:28:49 | |
# Your mama's on the phone and she feels like talkin' | 0:28:49 | 0:28:53 | |
# There's chicken on the barbecue, barbecuein' | 0:28:53 | 0:28:58 | |
# Don't worry about it, baby Just drop what you're doing | 0:28:58 | 0:29:03 | |
# Cos they're playin' our song on the radio | 0:29:03 | 0:29:07 | |
# OK, Mister DJ, that-a way to go | 0:29:07 | 0:29:11 | |
# A million watts of love power comin' on strong | 0:29:12 | 0:29:17 | |
# Dance with me darlin', they're playin' our song | 0:29:17 | 0:29:21 | |
# Well, the house needs cleanin' and the grass needs mowin' | 0:29:30 | 0:29:35 | |
# We both got places that we need to be goin' | 0:29:35 | 0:29:40 | |
# Tomorrow is the big day and we better be ready | 0:29:40 | 0:29:45 | |
# But tonight it's just you and me rockin' steady | 0:29:45 | 0:29:49 | |
# Cos they're playin' our song on the radio | 0:29:49 | 0:29:54 | |
# OK, Mister DJ, that-a way to go | 0:29:54 | 0:29:58 | |
# A million watts of love power comin' on strong | 0:29:59 | 0:30:03 | |
# Dance with me, darlin', they're playin' our song | 0:30:03 | 0:30:08 | |
# Oh, they're playin' our song on the radio | 0:30:08 | 0:30:13 | |
# OK, Mister DJ, that-a way to go | 0:30:13 | 0:30:18 | |
# A million watts of love power comin' on strong | 0:30:18 | 0:30:22 | |
# Dance with me, darlin', they're playin' our song | 0:30:22 | 0:30:27 | |
# Woah, woah | 0:30:27 | 0:30:32 | |
# Woah, woo | 0:30:32 | 0:30:36 | |
# Ooh | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
# Dance with me, darlin', they're playin' our song. # | 0:30:42 | 0:30:51 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
Thank you. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:01 | |
A million watts of love power coming on strong! | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
Bill, you were a DJ, right? | 0:31:09 | 0:31:13 | |
-Yeah, but I didn't talk like that! -LAUGHTER | 0:31:13 | 0:31:15 | |
It's just a thrill when your sitting up here, | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
Bob plays a song like that I sing along with on the radio. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:23 | |
It's like, "Oh, yeah, he wrote that one, too!" | 0:31:23 | 0:31:27 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:31:27 | 0:31:29 | |
I'll do a song that's born out of a smart Alec remark | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
that I always say. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:34 | |
I just try to be absurd whenever I can. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
So, people would, you know, | 0:31:37 | 0:31:41 | |
it happens to everyone from time to time, and often. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:45 | |
Someone just asks, "How you doing?" | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
You've met those people who just instantly, | 0:31:48 | 0:31:52 | |
"Never better. Never better." | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
"All right. Good for you, good for you." | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
CHUCKLES IN AUDIENCE | 0:31:57 | 0:31:58 | |
Worse though is the, "Never been worse" crowd. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:03 | |
"Never been worse. We're doomed!" | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
And so, I always thought of myself as being all right to be just OK. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:11 | |
# I've been better, I've been worse | 0:32:17 | 0:32:20 | |
# I've been blessed and I've been cursed | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
# Ain't dead last and ain't in first | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
# Not everything is going to go my way | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
# I've been better, I've been worse | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
# I'm right on purpose and unrehearsed | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
# Singing in the chorus when I need more verse | 0:32:35 | 0:32:38 | |
# Not everything is going to go my way | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
# So I push too hard I lean too far | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
# Thinking I can have it all | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
# I stumble just a little | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
# I end up in the middle | 0:32:49 | 0:32:50 | |
# Banging my head against a brand new wall | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
# I've been better, I've been worse | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
# I can do without the doctor but I need my nurse | 0:32:56 | 0:32:58 | |
# My heart's beating steady | 0:32:58 | 0:33:00 | |
# But it's in reverse | 0:33:00 | 0:33:02 | |
# Not everything is going to go my way | 0:33:02 | 0:33:04 | |
# So I push too hard I lean too far | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
# Thinking I can have it all | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
# Then I stumble just a little | 0:33:20 | 0:33:21 | |
# And I end up in the middle | 0:33:21 | 0:33:23 | |
# Thank God Almighty I didn't lose it all | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
# I've been better, I've been worse | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
# Got a yin-yang thing and a tie for first | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
# I guess I ain't the sinner of the universe | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
# Not everything is going to go my way | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
# I've been worse | 0:33:37 | 0:33:38 | |
# Text with the best but I can't converse | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
# I got a little money but it's in... | 0:33:41 | 0:33:45 | |
# Her purse | 0:33:45 | 0:33:46 | |
# Not everything is going to go my way. # | 0:33:46 | 0:33:50 | |
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah! | 0:34:02 | 0:34:03 | |

Clint Black. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:09 | |
Woo! | 0:34:15 | 0:34:17 | |
Bill Anderson, what you got for us, my buddy? | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
I don't want these people to think that every song I've written | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
is 50 years' old! | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
Some of them are older than that! | 0:34:27 | 0:34:30 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:34:30 | 0:34:31 | |
I'm still trying to write songs. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:33 | |
For most of my career as a song writer, I wrote songs about myself. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:38 | |
I thought you had to get off in a dark room somewhere | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
and pull all the shades down and get miserable to write country songs. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:45 | |
And then, in the middle '90s, | 0:34:45 | 0:34:46 | |
I discovered this thing called co-writing. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
Like, Bob and I have co-written. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:51 | |
Clint, we never have, but I hope we will, one of these days. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:53 | |
Co-writing is a lot of fun when you get with guys, or girls, | 0:34:56 | 0:34:59 | |
whatever, that you kind of get on the same wavelength | 0:34:59 | 0:35:03 | |
and try and write a song. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:04 | |
I was with a couple of great writers and dear friends one morning, | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
back in early 2007. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
One is a great record producer named Buddy Cannon, the other is | 0:35:10 | 0:35:14 | |
a wonderfully talented artist and writer named Jamie Johnson. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:18 | |
And we were sitting around the table trying to just catch up | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
with each other, and all of a sudden somebody says, | 0:35:21 | 0:35:24 | |
"Well, what are we going to write about?" | 0:35:24 | 0:35:27 | |
Buddy said, "I don't have an idea." | 0:35:27 | 0:35:29 | |
Cos you try and bring an idea to a writing session. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:31 | |
You try to come up with something. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:33 | |
And I said, "Well, I don't really have a great idea either." | 0:35:33 | 0:35:37 | |
Jamie said, "I'm going through a divorce." | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
-I said, "I've seen that movie!" -Fantastic. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:49 | |
Hope is on the way. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:52 | |
So, Jamie picked up his guitar, and I said, | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
"Just whatever is on your mind, Jamie. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:59 | |
"Just let it come out." | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
Of all things, he started talking instead of singing. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
I thought he was making fun of me to start with. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
THE OTHERS LAUGH | 0:36:07 | 0:36:09 | |
He said... | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
She was storming through the house that day | 0:36:14 | 0:36:17 | |
and I could tell she was leaving. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:18 | |
And I thought, "Oh, she'll be back." | 0:36:20 | 0:36:23 | |
And she turned and pointed to the wall. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
And she said... | 0:36:28 | 0:36:29 | |
# That picture from our honeymoon | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
# That night in Frisco Bay | 0:36:35 | 0:36:37 | |
# Just give it away | 0:36:37 | 0:36:38 | |
# She said, give it away | 0:36:40 | 0:36:41 | |
# And that big four-poster king-size bed | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
# Where so much love was made | 0:36:48 | 0:36:50 | |
# Just give it away | 0:36:50 | 0:36:53 | |
# She said, give it away | 0:36:53 | 0:36:55 | |
# Just give it away | 0:36:56 | 0:36:59 | |
# Ain't nothin' in this house worth fightin' over | 0:37:00 | 0:37:04 | |
# And we're both tired of fightin' anyway | 0:37:07 | 0:37:11 | |
# So just give it away... # | 0:37:11 | 0:37:14 | |
I've finally played one that you've heard, huh? | 0:37:16 | 0:37:19 | |
Help yourself. I need all the help I can get! | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
So I tried to move on. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
But every woman that I held just reminded me of that day. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
# When the front door swung wide open | 0:37:41 | 0:37:44 | |
# And she flung her diamond ring | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
# Said, give it away | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
# Just give it away | 0:37:50 | 0:37:52 | |
# And I said, now, honey, don't you even want your half of everything | 0:37:54 | 0:38:00 | |
# She said, give it away | 0:38:00 | 0:38:01 | |
# Just give it away | 0:38:03 | 0:38:06 | |
# Just give it away | 0:38:06 | 0:38:08 | |
# Ain't nothin' in this house worth fightin' over | 0:38:10 | 0:38:14 | |
# And we're both tired of fightin' anyway | 0:38:16 | 0:38:20 | |
# So just give it away... # | 0:38:22 | 0:38:24 | |
Unrehearsed! | 0:38:49 | 0:38:50 | |
So I'm still right here where she left me. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
Along with all the other things She don't care about any more. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:05 | |
# Like the picture from our honeymoon | 0:39:08 | 0:39:12 | |
# That night in Frisco Bay | 0:39:12 | 0:39:13 | |
# She said, give it away | 0:39:13 | 0:39:15 | |
# But I can't give it away | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
# And that big four-poster king-size bed | 0:39:20 | 0:39:25 | |
# Where all our love was made | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
# She said, give it away | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
# But I can't give it away | 0:39:29 | 0:39:33 | |
# I've got a furnished house, a diamond ring | 0:39:36 | 0:39:40 | |
# And a lonely broken heart | 0:39:40 | 0:39:45 | |
# Full of love | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
# And I can't even give it away. # | 0:39:50 | 0:39:58 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:40:05 | 0:40:09 | |
For those of you who may not know over here, | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
that was a big hit for George Strait. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
Yeah, and I want to thank all the people here for being | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
so nice to that song. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
-George Strait doesn't need the money, but I do! -LAUGHTER | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
When I started a website, I wanted it to be real popular, | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
so called it Georgestrait.com, they didn't allow me to keep it. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:40:41 | 0:40:43 | |
This song came just out of sheer boredom. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:49 | |
I was writing with a friend of mine, Jeff Steele, | 0:40:49 | 0:40:52 | |
and we're sitting there after three hours of basically | 0:40:52 | 0:40:56 | |
beating our heads against a wall, and I said, "You know what, man? | 0:40:56 | 0:41:02 | |
"Let's write a song that's got two chords in it, and a one word title. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:08 | |
"How long can that take? | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
"We've got about an hour, and we'll go to lunch." "That sounds good." | 0:41:10 | 0:41:14 | |
All you have to do is tell a songwriter | 0:41:14 | 0:41:16 | |
you are going to go to lunch and it's on. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:18 | |
Or at least this song. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
So, this is what we came up with. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
# This ain't no temporary, typical, tearful goodbye | 0:41:41 | 0:41:47 | |
# This ain't no takin' up, makin' and breakin' up one more time | 0:41:50 | 0:41:56 | |
# This is gone, gone, gone, gone | 0:41:56 | 0:42:05 | |
# Gone like a freight train, gone like yesterday | 0:42:07 | 0:42:11 | |
# Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang, bang | 0:42:11 | 0:42:16 | |
# Gone like a '59 Cadillac | 0:42:16 | 0:42:19 | |
# Like all the good things it ain't never coming back | 0:42:19 | 0:42:23 | |
# She's gone, gone, gone, gone, she's gone | 0:42:23 | 0:42:31 | |
# This ain't no "Baby I'm hurtin' but maybe we can work it out" | 0:42:42 | 0:42:48 | |
# Won't be no champagne, red rose, romance, second chance | 0:42:50 | 0:42:57 | |
# This is gone, gone, gone, gone | 0:42:57 | 0:43:06 | |
# Gone like a freight train, gone like yesterday | 0:43:06 | 0:43:11 | |
# Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang, bang | 0:43:11 | 0:43:16 | |
# Gone like a '59 Cadillac | 0:43:16 | 0:43:19 | |
# Like all the good things that ain't never coming back | 0:43:19 | 0:43:24 | |
# She's gone, gone, gone... # | 0:43:24 | 0:43:29 | |
Come on, Clint. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:31 | |
# She's gone like a freight train | 0:44:05 | 0:44:08 | |
# Gone like yesterday | 0:44:08 | 0:44:10 | |
# Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang, bang | 0:44:10 | 0:44:15 | |
# Gone like a '59 Cadillac | 0:44:15 | 0:44:18 | |
# Like all the good things, good things, good things | 0:44:18 | 0:44:21 | |
# That ain't coming back | 0:44:21 | 0:44:23 | |
# She's gone | 0:44:23 | 0:44:27 | |
# My baby's gone | 0:44:27 | 0:44:30 | |
# She's gone, gone, gone, gone | 0:44:30 | 0:44:35 | |
# Look out | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
# Gone, gone, done me wrong, never coming back, my baby's gone | 0:44:40 | 0:44:44 | |
# Woo-hoo | 0:44:45 | 0:44:51 | |
# Coming round again | 0:44:51 | 0:44:53 | |
# At home, sitting alone, packed up bags, and now she's gone | 0:44:53 | 0:44:57 | |
# Woah she's gone like a freight train | 0:44:59 | 0:45:03 | |
# She's gone like yesterday | 0:45:03 | 0:45:06 | |
# Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang, bang | 0:45:06 | 0:45:09 | |
# Gone like a '59 Cadillac | 0:45:09 | 0:45:12 | |
# Like all the good things, good thing, good things | 0:45:14 | 0:45:17 | |
# Ain't coming back | 0:45:17 | 0:45:18 | |
# She's gone, gone, gone | 0:45:18 | 0:45:21 | |
# She's gone, gone, gone | 0:45:21 | 0:45:24 | |
# She's gone. # | 0:45:24 | 0:45:27 | |

Thank you. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
This is a song really inspired by Roy Rogers, | 0:45:40 | 0:45:44 | |
who I had the pleasure of getting to know a little bit. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:47 | |
A great experience, recorded a song with him, | 0:45:47 | 0:45:50 | |
and got to spend a couple of years with him off and on, | 0:45:50 | 0:45:54 | |
going to award shows. Being nominated with Roy Rogers! | 0:45:54 | 0:45:58 | |
He said lots of great stuff. And his wife, too, Dale. Great lady. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:06 | |
The one thing that stuck out above everything else that she said was, | 0:46:06 | 0:46:11 | |
she was kind of secretly hoping that Roy would pass first, | 0:46:11 | 0:46:17 | |
because she really, truly was afraid that he might have her stuffed! | 0:46:19 | 0:46:24 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:46:24 | 0:46:26 | |
Wow! | 0:46:31 | 0:46:32 | |
She said not to tell anyone! | 0:46:35 | 0:46:37 | |
-LAUGHTER -And when I met Roy, the first thing he said to me was, | 0:46:37 | 0:46:43 | |
"I thought I killed off all you black-hatted fellas | 0:46:43 | 0:46:47 | |
"back in the '40s!" | 0:46:47 | 0:46:49 | |
So I had to try and work some reference to that into the song. | 0:46:50 | 0:46:54 | |
This is called Code Of The West. | 0:46:55 | 0:46:57 | |
# All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart | 0:47:09 | 0:47:13 | |
# Every Western hero on the screen's been with me from the start | 0:47:15 | 0:47:20 | |
# Ridin' high and showin' me the way | 0:47:20 | 0:47:24 | |
# And they've been there with me through my toughest times | 0:47:26 | 0:47:31 | |
# We'd ride out to the boundaries but we never crossed those lines | 0:47:31 | 0:47:36 | |
# And that's a code that I'm still livin' by today | 0:47:36 | 0:47:40 | |
# The code of the West was black and white | 0:47:41 | 0:47:46 | |
# Good guys and the bad | 0:47:46 | 0:47:49 | |
# You would always know who's wrong or right | 0:47:49 | 0:47:53 | |
# By the colour of their hat | 0:47:53 | 0:47:56 | |
# Now there aren't so many happy trails | 0:47:57 | 0:48:00 | |
# I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see | 0:48:00 | 0:48:03 | |
# They don't go off into the sunset | 0:48:05 | 0:48:08 | |
# And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea | 0:48:08 | 0:48:11 | |
# And it's good to see the bad guys on the run | 0:48:15 | 0:48:20 | |
# While our modern day heroes show 'em how the West was won | 0:48:21 | 0:48:26 | |
# On their trail till they bring the last one down | 0:48:26 | 0:48:30 | |
# We could use a few more cowboys here today | 0:48:32 | 0:48:36 | |
# A few more days of reckoning and a lot more hell to pay | 0:48:37 | 0:48:43 | |
# Where that debt is owed there ain't no middle ground | 0:48:43 | 0:48:47 | |
# The code of the West was black and white | 0:48:48 | 0:48:51 | |
# The good guys and the bad | 0:48:51 | 0:48:54 | |
# You would always know who's wrong or right | 0:48:56 | 0:49:00 | |
# By the colour of their hat | 0:49:00 | 0:49:03 | |
# Now there aren't so many happy trails | 0:49:04 | 0:49:06 | |
# I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see | 0:49:06 | 0:49:10 | |
# They don't go off into the sunset | 0:49:12 | 0:49:15 | |
# And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea | 0:49:15 | 0:49:18 | |
# The code of the West was black and white | 0:49:36 | 0:49:40 | |
# The good guys and the bad | 0:49:40 | 0:49:42 | |
# You would always know who's wrong and who was right | 0:49:43 | 0:49:47 | |
# By the colour of their hat | 0:49:47 | 0:49:51 | |
# Now there aren't so many happy trails | 0:49:51 | 0:49:54 | |
# I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see | 0:49:54 | 0:49:57 | |
# They don't go off into the sunset | 0:50:00 | 0:50:03 | |
# And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea | 0:50:03 | 0:50:06 | |
# All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart. # | 0:50:09 | 0:50:15 | |

How many of you think he looks like Roy Rogers? | 0:50:38 | 0:50:42 | |
-LAUGHTER -All you need's the white hat. | 0:50:42 | 0:50:45 | |
Well, at least you didn't look like Trigger. | 0:50:45 | 0:50:47 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:50:47 | 0:50:49 | |
Why the long face? | 0:50:52 | 0:50:53 | |
Why the long face? | 0:50:53 | 0:50:55 | |
No, really. There's two guys walk into a bar, | 0:50:55 | 0:50:58 | |
and you'd think the second guy would duck! | 0:50:58 | 0:51:01 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:51:01 | 0:51:02 | |
Oh, don't go there. Please don't go there. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:07 | |
I wrote this song not long after I moved to Nashville, | 0:51:07 | 0:51:11 | |
which tells you right there it's an old song. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:16 | |
After I recorded this song my buddy Roy Clark came along | 0:51:16 | 0:51:20 | |
and cut it, he had a big hit record on it. | 0:51:20 | 0:51:22 | |
And your buddy and mine, Mr Steve Warner, Clint, 1992. | 0:51:22 | 0:51:28 | |
He took this song all the way to number one. | 0:51:28 | 0:51:31 | |
# I reached out my arms and I touched you | 0:51:32 | 0:51:39 | |
# With soft words I whispered your name | 0:51:41 | 0:51:46 | |
# I held your love on the tips of my fingers | 0:51:49 | 0:51:57 | |
# But that was as close as I came | 0:51:58 | 0:52:04 | |
# My eyes had a vision of sweet lips | 0:52:07 | 0:52:12 | |
# Yielding beneath my command | 0:52:15 | 0:52:20 | |
# I held your love on the tips of my fingers | 0:52:23 | 0:52:31 | |
# But I let it slip right through my hands | 0:52:31 | 0:52:38 | |
# I let you slip right through my hands | 0:52:40 | 0:52:46 | |
# Somebody took you when I wasn't looking | 0:52:48 | 0:52:56 | |
# And I should have known from the start | 0:52:57 | 0:53:02 | |
# It's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers | 0:53:05 | 0:53:13 | |
# To the love hidden deep in your heart | 0:53:13 | 0:53:19 | |
# To the love hidden deep in your heart | 0:53:21 | 0:53:27 | |
# I held your love on the tips of my fingers | 0:54:12 | 0:54:20 | |
# But I let it slip right through my hands | 0:54:20 | 0:54:26 | |
# I let you slip right through my hands | 0:54:28 | 0:54:34 | |
# I held your love on the tips of my fingers. # | 0:54:37 | 0:54:49 | |

Well, we've had enough of you... | 0:55:14 | 0:55:17 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:55:17 | 0:55:18 | |
We figured we'd close the show with the quintessential country song | 0:55:18 | 0:55:22 | |
and it's kind of a great closer, so that's why we're doing it. | 0:55:22 | 0:55:28 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:55:28 | 0:55:33 | |
# I was standing by my window | 0:55:43 | 0:55:47 | |
# On one cold and cloudy day | 0:55:47 | 0:55:52 | |
# When I saw that hearse come rolling | 0:55:52 | 0:55:56 | |
# For to carry my mother away | 0:55:56 | 0:56:00 | |
# Will the circle be unbroken | 0:56:00 | 0:56:05 | |
# By and by, Lord, by and by | 0:56:05 | 0:56:10 | |
# There's a better home a-waiting | 0:56:10 | 0:56:15 | |
# In the sky, Lord, in the sky | 0:56:15 | 0:56:20 | |
# So I told the undertaker | 0:56:20 | 0:56:25 | |
# Undertaker, please drive slow | 0:56:25 | 0:56:29 | |
# For that lady you've been hauling | 0:56:29 | 0:56:33 | |
# Lord, I hate to see her go | 0:56:33 | 0:56:39 | |
# Will the circle be unbroken | 0:56:39 | 0:56:44 | |
# By and by, Lord, by and by | 0:56:44 | 0:56:48 | |
# There's a better home a-waiting | 0:56:48 | 0:56:53 | |
# In the sky, Lord, in the sky... # | 0:56:53 | 0:56:56 | |
Come on. | 0:56:56 | 0:56:58 | |
# So I followed close behind them | 0:57:19 | 0:57:24 | |
# Tried to hold up and be brave... # | 0:57:24 | 0:57:28 | |
AUDIENCE CLAPS IN TIME | 0:57:28 | 0:57:30 | |
# But I could not hide my sorrow | 0:57:30 | 0:57:34 | |
# When they laid her in that grave... # | 0:57:34 | 0:57:37 | |
Everybody. | 0:57:37 | 0:57:38 | |
# Will the circle be unbroken | 0:57:38 | 0:57:42 | |
# By and by, Lord, by and by | 0:57:42 | 0:57:47 | |
# There's a better home a-waiting | 0:57:47 | 0:57:52 | |
# In the sky, Lord, in the sky... # | 0:57:52 | 0:57:56 | |
One more time. | 0:57:56 | 0:57:57 | |
# Will the circle be unbroken | 0:57:57 | 0:58:02 | |
# By and by, Lord, by and by | 0:58:02 | 0:58:07 | |
# There's a better home a-waiting | 0:58:07 | 0:58:12 | |
# In the sky, Lord, in the sky | 0:58:12 | 0:58:16 | |
# There's a better home a-waiting | 0:58:16 | 0:58:21 | |
