I guess this evening, Mr.
Ronnie Bowman, but the nice thing about it is we have your wife with you today, is Garnet Bowman.
[Gm] Pardon me Ronnie, we don't need to [Cm] talk to you.
Garnet, where are you originally from?
[G] South Point, Ohio.
[Cm] South Point, Ohio.
[B] We knew that, but we wanted all our audience to know about it.
But thank you so much for [Bm] coming, and Ronnie, thank you for coming.
This is the third [C] time we've had you up here.
That's right.
I'm glad to be [Dm] back and to [Bm] keep carrying on the tradition here.
[D] It's a wonderful [C] place to play.
[E] The crowd's awesome, the folks from around here.
Well, of course, because I married someone from around here.
[B] So it's a real good part of the country for good people.
And it's a [Am] beautiful theater.
[B] And it's really nice to see all my friends and [Am] fellow musicians and singers here.
And we're looking forward to having a really good [Ab] time.
I'm sure we're going to.
Now let me ask you a couple questions about your songwriting.
Now you're [B] on a roll in the Boards of Nashville, you and Kenny [E] Chesney.
What's the last one you had with [Cm] the song you wrote with Kenny?
I think it went to number one.
Well, actually, Kenny Chesney, he recorded it.
And I [G] wrote the song with a good friend of mine by the name of Chris [Cm] Stapleton.
And he's from Paintsville, Kentucky.
And he'll actually be he'll be here tonight.
He's bringing his wife [A] and who's a [G] great singer in her own right, Morgan Hayes.
And [C] now it's Morgan Stapleton and his mom and dad, I think, are coming and sister.
And so I wrote it with Chris.
And then [Gbm] after they [Eb] heard our [Am] little work [Em] tape of it, they wanted to know who the guitar players was on it.
And so I told him it was, you know, it was me and [C] Chris Stapleton.
And so they called me and Chris.
So we actually [A] got to record [D] the guitars on that [Eb] on that cut.
Yeah.
And it went [Cm] it went [Em] number one, I think, in seven [Cm] weeks, which at the time it was the fastest rising [E] country music hit in the history.
And that that [Cm] stayed there until Garth Brooks beat it when his debut at number one.
But at least we had [Bb] a little while, you know, we had a [Em] record for a little while.
And it's great.
[C] Ronnie wrote a song or [Bm] wrote a song and you did it last time you're up here [Am] called Here I am.
Yes.
[Cm] I couldn't believe the response we've [Bb] gotten that people get a lot of emails from it.
And then I'd forward emails to you, Garnett, [Cm] because I thought Ronnie recorded it.
People would say, [B] where can I buy this CD?
And I just shoot them to Garnett.
Come find out you never did [E] record it, though, did you?
No, [Bm] I didn't.
After after Sean Lane and myself, we co-wrote the song together.
While we were out, we were [Gm] touring with Leeanne Womack, me and Sean Lane from Blue Highway.
We were in [C] San Diego.
And, you know, we we [Bb] we talked about the song sort of [Gm] on the plane to [B] San Diego.
And then after a show that night, we got up the next [Eb] day and I looked out the window and I was on [G] like the twenty third, twenty fourth floor.
And it overlooked this park.
And you could see everybody how [B] that they when they were going to meet.
You could just see everything.
And from that idea, I called up Sean's room and I said, man, I think I think I've got it.
I think you need to come up here to the room and let's write this thing now, because, [Ab] you know, just just setting up there and being able to [Am] to see things,
you know, you know, you know when [A] someone was going to pass someone and, [E] you know, and, you know, that song, it's written from the [B] perspective [Cm] of the devil.
I call it the devil song sometime, but it's a gospel song.
But it's it's it's in a sense of, you know, real life about like to, you know, to [G] beware and to be cautious
[A] because, you know, you get too overconfident [Cm] sometimes you might you know, you might lose your way and get, you know, [G] get out of the light.
And so and [Cm] we're all susceptible to that.
So that's where that song came from.
Just tickled the best to have you on the [G] show, and I'm glad that you brought Garnet with you to [Eb] sing last time.
She's like, you [Cm] wouldn't let you sing, would it?
That's how he is.
[Gb] [G] No, we're looking forward to having you.
[A] And thank you
Ronnie Bowman, but the nice thing about it is we have your wife with you today, is Garnet Bowman.
