Can't make the other chicks on the panel cry because then it's [Bm] hard to [Bb] that's just _ I mean when you hear
[N]
Someone who wrote the song and you just [F] believe every single word
I just want to crawl on the floor and cry and give you a big hug _
_ [E] Just that's what it's about.
I mean [Bb] I keep talking about songwriters.
I have such respect
for [Em] that because I'm just
That was an amazing moment.
We all got to [D] witness right there.
Thank you
_ Um, let's do something happy shall we _ _ _ _
_ _ Okay, it's my turn to make everybody happy _ _ _ _ _
Spread [Dm] the joy I _ I was so honored
_ To be asked to do [N] to celebrate the 20th birthday of the bluebird
But when I found out that I was gonna get to do that with Matresa Berg and Bobby Kreiner
[Eb] For me it just was a no-brainer.
It's like [Cm] absolutely.
I'm just so excited [E] about
_ Getting to be up [F] here and hear you [E] gals, and I'm so
_ It just makes me look smart because I've recorded songs [N] that both of you written
So it makes me seem like I know what I'm doing
_ _ Matresa and I have known each other for a long time and _
And you probably don't know this but I have besides having all your your albums.
I have all your demos
I have everything ever sent me that you're singing on because I just love the way you sing your own songs and as much as I
Appreciate that.
I've had a chance to record
Several of them some of my favorites that would that were never singles _ _ I
Just love to hear you sing your own songs.
That said I'm gonna sing [E] the song that you wrote _
And ask you to [F] sing it with me.
I heard this song _
_ Before I made my first [N] album and
And the only thing that wasn't autobiographical for me was that it should have been wrong side of Atlanta _
but it I loved what it said and it was I it had everything about how we dream about getting here and doing this for
a living and packing up the car and
not knowing a soul and I just [Eb] related to it and
Got a chance to [E] um to actually record it on the second [N] album, and I don't know
Your motivation for writing it so I want you to tell oh well
_ _ Actually, [Abm] _
I was born in Nashville, so I didn't have far to go _
[N] Just went, you know a couple of blocks to music row from Hillsborough Village _ _ _ _
But I did I spent some time in Louisiana I [E] played with a
_ cover band down there and
_ It was you know, I was doing funk tunes [N] at night and then I would go home and go
_ _ _ And [E] write my little country songs and I just didn't fit in [Fm] very well and [Gb] and [E] I couldn't wait to get [B] back home
so that that was
[E] _ Where I was coming from it [F] was totally [E] _ autobiographical to well, I am thanking you for letting me sing.
I'm loving [Db] you
_ _ [Bb] Now are [D] we gonna I'm gonna look at you and you're gonna know the second verse cuz you [E] wrote it well, that's not always _
[A] _ _ [E] Trisha I just [F] wondered what you did with my demos that I
[Bb] _ _
Do _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
you have a special place yes, _ that's all I wanted to know.
[N] Thank you.
So anyway _
