Well if you wanna go that song line It's pretty apparent to me I got the idea to ballads kinda based on Wino there He to Paris, [?] at 40, 12 old men African friend and the goes on
So we're getting down to the bottom of the treasure here and we have a few left to play for ya' And uhm So let's just dig around here In the of the Mobile pile and see Oh, Oh
one, let me get this out And as you might guess, this one probably a story too To tell you where this song came Whoever said you ever go home? you have to go home even of you don't to That's a little lesson I learnt this time
As a sailor, you go where the wind you I intended for it to blow me far from the port city of to fortune and fame Still, my embarkation point was also my point The winds had taken me to the starting line
I figured the Universe had a for that So i just went with that and wound up in the studio with and Travis, where the actual road to began Milton was the wizard who found me around town became my first and blazed the trail that eventually led to
Though Gras and the new world started in Mobile' It was not a town to a nightlife reputation Other than those two before Lent [?] in New Orleans was where we went to up our heels Mobile tended to move to own and that hasn't changed to this day
it drifts along at a timeless, cadence But were actually two big events on a national scale Mardi Gras The senior bowl game and the America's Junior pageant Southerners love beauty pageants and since City claimed the America pageant Little Mobile attracted the Junior Miss pageant to town
Milton was also very active in functions and tried to use his influence to get a home town talent on the Junior pageant and television He pitched the idea to the who ran the pageant that it would be great to feature a boy, me, on the show Well, they not seeing it his way, was a big deal to showcase Mobile and they wanted stars and I was just a bar
Milton did get me a gig, He explained to me that I wasn't going to get my tv as part of the pageant But, he did get me a job to the contestants at breakfast, the morning of the day of the show Let's just say back in those days, I did not do a lot of shows
So when Milton revealed to me that I would be at 7am I kinda for a moment, but only a moment Because when you're down at the of the success ladder, you better do you can to get yourself a few rungs up that seperate from the So, I got up at 6 am, my 12 string, drank a cafe au lait, ate a few beignets then played breakfast for the Junior Miss They to like it So a live version of that infamous breakfast buffet in Mobile wih yours truly and the Junior contestants singing along to Dreaming And by the way I don't think I've ever done breakfast gig than maybe the Today Show since then...
