And so 57 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 4: I just moved to Florida thinking that this. You know, hey, 58 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 4: it's time to sunset the career, maybe a slow down 59 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 4: a little bit, and then all of a sudden, the 60 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: nineties come roaring back. And in fact, I just did 61 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: the U. I did the rhyme in the last couple 62 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 4: of nights with Ernest.

I said, yeah, yeah, 70 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 4: I will. And then we had Danville coming up, and 71 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 4: we had a couple of other things. Cause anyway, it 72 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 4: total to be three weeks away from from the island 73 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 4: there in Florida, and I told my wife, I said, 74 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 4: well hang on, man, because here it comes again. But 75 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 4: the only thing is I'm not thirty anymore. 76 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: But I love it. 77 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 2: Hey, Billy, you mentioned the guitar that you normally autograph 78 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: and put a verse to a song on. I'm curious 79 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: have you picked the song for this year? 80 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 4: I'm thinking that you don't count the cost might be 81 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 4: a good one, and it's a toss up between I 82 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 4: don't think I've done only here for a little while, 83 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 4: and I think this year I'm gonna do gonna hold 84 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 4: who needs holding, men what needs men? And walk what 85 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 4: needs walking? Though it means an extra mile, say what 86 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: needs saying, Pray what needs praying. We're only here for 87 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 4: a little while. I just think that message, I think 88 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 4: we need that message hanging on a wall somewhere to 89 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 4: walk by and look at it because I just think 90 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 4: thirty five years ago, that was the first song we 91 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 4: released and we our country had just went into a 92 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 4: desert storm, and it was it was a lyric that 93 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 4: people started gravitating towards and two, and I just think 94 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 4: it's needed again thirty five years later. I feel like 95 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 4: our country kind of needs those words again, you know, 96 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 4: to kind of help bring people together with music. So 97 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 4: I think that might be the one I'm going to do. 98 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 4: We were re releasing a brand new version of it, 99 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: which is one that I you know, they said, my 100 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 4: team said, can you reimagine some of your old hits. 101 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: I was like, what does that even mean. I'm thinking 102 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 4: the same way for thirty five years reimagine it. But 103 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 4: it's interesting because I just printed the lyric of only here. 104 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 4: For a little while, I printed it out. 105 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: And I looked. 106 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 4: I was just staring at it, and I just happen 107 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 4: to have my guitar my lap and as I'm reading it, 108 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 4: I'm just kind of subconsciously noodling with the guitar, and 109 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 4: I realized, Man, this lyric hits me a lot different 110 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 4: than it did when I was, you know, twenty eight, 111 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 4: twenty nine years old. When I sang it, it means 112 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 4: has deeper meanings for me now, and so it just 113 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 4: kind of kind of flowed through my fingers. A few 114 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 4: little different chord changes slowed it down a little bit, 115 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 4: and so I hope people will like it. You know, 116 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 4: you know, it's hard to mess with songs that have 117 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 4: been classics or you know, I'm not saying that's a classic, 118 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 4: but I'm just saying, you know, it's hard to mess 119 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 4: with something that's worked before. But I really think people 120 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 4: will see this and hear this almost as a new song. 121 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: Billy Dean is our guest legendary recording artist.
