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