21:46 we're staying at the hotel Roosevelt
21:49 sharing a room and the rooms there are
21:53 really small and quaint I kept my beer
21:58 in the bathtub good something else my
22:01 dad taught me that's the way you keep it
22:03 cold and like Steve would go what like what
22:05 about showers you know and stuff it yeah
22:07 but I walk in one night I want to go out
22:10 on the town I came down the village to
22:11 see whoever was down here and Steve
22:15 stayed back at the hotel and I come in
22:18 the room our room and Steve is sitting
22:22 by the desk that they put in hotel rooms
22:26 and the only light on is right over
22:28 there and he's actually using the desk
22:30 for what it's supposed to be used for it
22:32 he's sitting there writing you know and
22:34 I look over his children and says it was
22:38 all that I could do to keep from crying
22:40 sometimes it seems so useless to remain
22:43 right and I and I jumped up on the bed
22:46 and started playing an imaginary fiddle
22:49 anyway you don't have to call me darlin
22:51 darlin but you'd never even called me by
22:53 my name we started laughing and then
22:55 Steve set and wrote the whole rest of
22:57 the song except for the last verse the
22:59 one that made the song the one about
23:02 dogs and mothers and presents and
23:05 everything but we more or less wrote the
23:10 song like I know we're just making fun
23:12 of the whole thing you know the whole
23:14 idea that he was right now a serious
23:16 country song and Steve ended up turning
23:21 it around and putting that ultimate
23:23 verse on it you know and when he got all
23:27 done with it and told me he was going to
23:28 record it I said are you kidding I said
23:32 that song is terrible you know and he
23:35 said what do you mean terrible I says
23:36 what makes fun of country music I was
23:38 young and sensitive and I said it makes
23:40 fun of country music you know I sand
23:43 that so I didn't put my name on it and
23:44 next thing I know David Allan Coe
23:46 records it and becomes a number one
23:48 country single you know and Steve called
23:53 up when it was going number one it says
23:55 now do you want your name on it and I
23:57 said oh no you're like I'm a man of my
23:59 word you know that's not I want to honor
24:01 so next day Steve pulls up in a pickup
24:04 truck and gives me this $12,000
24:06 Wurlitzer jukebox from 1942 of victory
24:11 model it still doesn't run but it looks
24:13 really good you know and since in my
24:16 living room and every time I look at
24:17 that jukebox I feel really stupid

That’s a gigantic cuck song. Really good song, nonetheless.

George Strait - I Can Still Make Cheyenne

The silence of a falling star 
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are 
I'm so lonesome I could cry

The Lord Knows I'm Drinking

Greatest lyrics ever.

"Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)"

This ol' highway's getting longer
Seems there ain't no end in sight
To sleep would be best, but I just can't afford to rest
I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night

I called the house but no one answered
For the last two weeks no one's been home
I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth I just can't see
What's kept the woman holding on this long

And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old

The competition's getting younger
Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall
The worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze
Seem to be the only friends I've left at all

And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old

Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old
