I still remember Miss Bessie singin'
Black wrinkled fingers on ivory keys
Just five years old, my church shoes were danglin'
Now she's long gone, I'm still chasin' that song
Now with a guitar full of freedom
And a head full of lies
Oh, that nightlife full of demons
Has been a hell of a ride
I got a crazy heart and I was born to lose it
I'm married to a dream with a mistress named music
No hope and squarely solitary
Enough whiskey and Coke get all of downtown Nashville in a bind
Damn stewed, the whole damn block could hear me
Even them cop cars rollin' past
By the time they hit our front door, I was out the back
With a guitar full of freedom
And a head full of lies
Oh, that nightlife full of demons
Has been a hell of a ride
I got a crazy heart and I was born to lose it
I'm married to a dream with a mistress named music
La-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da
White calloused fingers on bronze and nylon
Same old boots still tappin' time
Not quite the buzz I used to tie on
But every now and then, I'll like to tie one on

With a guitar full of freedom
And a head full of lies
Oh, that nightlife full of demons
Has been a hell of a ride
I got a crazy heart and I was born to lose it
I'm married to a dream with a mistress named music
I'm married to a dream with a mistress named music

When we, when we made the Evangeline vs. Machine album
The main thing for me was we wanted to make an album
And we wanted people to sit and listen to that album start to finish as one piece of work
And I have, I have two young boys, and I find that in their life
Right now, music is what happens in the background of the other stuff that they're doing
And when I grew up, music was everything that I was doing, and I still believe in that
I still believe it's the most powerful thing in the world
And that is what this record's about, and that's what tonight's about
So, I wanna say, I wanna say thank you for this
Thank you for letting us do this and being here with us
