Dan Kirkland Resurrect a Rainy Night (Remastered)

classic country group harmony like Sawyer brown, male vocals

Alan said "her maiden name was music"
[(song "home" 'in a small town down in ga over 40 yrs ago.  her maiden name was music...")]

Back when "Dallas" (outlaw country movement in Texas happened because they couldn't be themselves musically in Nashville anymore around 1970) packed her bags to go.
And the story why she left at "midnight in Montgomery" [Hank said friend it's good to see you. it's nice to know you care." and "off somewhere a Midnight train is slowly passing by. "]
Ain't been Strait since a "Murder on music row."(Alan Jackson, George Strait)

They put tritt and Randy on the run
It was a "travis"ty  when they got on that bus(take it easy(winslow, az),  running blind("somewhere west of Albuquerque"/3 wooden crosses "midnight bus bound for Mexico)
They caught up with them out "where corn don't grow" (Waylon jennings wrote, Travis tritt covered)
And put the cuffs on "old outlaws like us."(Waylon, Jr and tritt)

Chorus 1
And "it's a long hard ride"(DAC) to Nashville
With a "Georgia on my mind"(ray)
Where "my father was a gambler" Allman/Kenny(down in ga. and he wound up on the wrong end of a gun, and I was born in the back seat of a greyhound bus/ on a train bound for nowhere... the gambler he broke even...")
And God knows "mama tried"(first thing I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing.... dear ole daddy rest his soul left my mom a heavy load...")
And I wish ole Hank was here right now to help us see "the light"(asked DAC for a light on the ride.)
We'd bail out that ole devil
And resurrect that "rainy night." [(CDB, brook benton, Keith whitley)--<(CDB- the devil was way better than Johnny and he got railroaded when he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet. Keith whitley was "no stranger to the rain." He "Fought with the devil, got down on his level" and  said "it's hard to keep believing I'll even come out even while the rain beats a hole in the ground, and tonight it's really coming down." Brook Benton took shelter in a boxcar and could hear busses  passing from the train) ]

Mr Kershaw I believe that you were right
When you said "I don't think she's coming back"(politics religion)
I guess she loaded up on that Confederate   Railroad(Montgomery,al former capital of the confederacy)
And rolled on to Folsom prison with a man in black.(cash wrote it in 1953. Hank sr died 1/1/1953) (Merle haggard was a prisoner at San Quentin/Folsom when Johnny cash played there)
Yea and Clint(black)I think that you had seen the writing on the wall
When you started "talkin' bout the good old times."(nothing's news)
Hell we ain't heard or seen ole "brother jukebox" in a while(Don Everly. Keith whitley then mark chestnut)
He ain't been playing possum(Jones)since them songs turned on a dime.

Repeat chorus 1

Bridge
Now sometimes I just can't help but feel like Paycheck(Johnny)
When he said "where in the hell do you go from here?"(old violin" 'we give our all to MUSIC and soon we'll give our life' and "there i was in... an old violin... soon to be put away and never played again)
And I don't think the "common man" could answer. (Conlee)
Cause through "rose colored glasses" it ain't clear.

Chorus 2
What happened to those "heroes"?(Willie and Waylon)
I can't tell you off hand
Blackhawk, Shenandoah, and the "boys in the band"(Alabama)
And if I had one wish
I'd let my memories roam
I'd go down to the opry 
And let the Hag  "sing me back HOME."
 ["the warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom.  I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest... and I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell.  let my guitar playing friend do my request... let him sing me back home..."]

Repeat chorus 1... when it's a long hard ride
