First, I'd like to welcome Pearl River's FFA, our future farmers of America.
Hang in there guys, because we need you.
It's been an honor to work on behalf of America's farm families this past year,
and now I'm proud to be here to introduce to you two generations of [A#] country's honky-tonk music,
one of country music's great songwriters, Billy [E] Joe Shaver and [N] his son Eddie.
Here's Shaver!

I'm a lonely man, I'm so close to you
My [A] old gal who left me, I'm glad she [E] took her cue
