We went off to Nashville
to start the Sweetheart

and we got on the Grand Ole Opry
as I told you about
and did You Ain't Goin' Nowhere,
did not do Sing Me Back
Home that night.
Just as we were supposed to do it
and we were announced to do it,
Graham jumped up on the mic.
He said, my grandma's been listening
to the Grand Ole Opry
all her life, so I want to do a
song I wrote for her.
Ha ha, hickory win.
