caught a lot of us unprepared and i'm just grateful i could find a white onion and some cream to go on my tomato soup that i made today because yesterday couldn't find either one of those things though send this out to everybody who's [Music] going through a hard time [Music] crazy girl in my speakers [Music] edward [Music] looks like bad weather nothing shining through the rain [Music] looking for my sweater waiting on [Music] the ball [Music] my [Music] [Music] the sun ain't breaking through the hay [Music] the rain [Music] do [Music] is [Music] [Music] is of his chair and the snow is gone till november but i'm [Music] is might be gone i'm waiting on [Music] hope everybody is safe um i hear austin is in a really uh bad situation um you know they're not expecting this kind of weather now here in nashville i was talking to my sister this morning and i had to get out in this mess and uh you know i hadn't been out in a couple days and the roads were iced over um so i called and i said remember that ice storm in 1994 when we lived down in that duplex on chesterfield and she said yes lord i've never been so cold in my life we didn't have any electricity or uh he no nothing for like i don't know over a week or something and uh we didn't have to worry about no internet there was no such thing so it was just anyway it reminds me of that because now i live in that same neighborhood where we lived so long ago almost 30 years ago and anyway hey that was a time and uh i had to get out because i had to take willie to the bed for checkup and i posted this as a story today but he is heartworm free the bladder stones are gone for now he is tip top so unfortunately he's got some kind of protein thing where he's going to create these stones if we don't keep him on a special diet that's too much information i know but i just want y'all to know because y'all love willie so much and i appreciate you loving willie and uh so that's the update so we're just going to keep him as healthy as possible and wish that he wished for him an easy ride from here on out because he has had a time bless that puppy oh my goodness i mean it's a wonder he has legs because i just towed him around and the little things have not just withered to little stumps or something but uh but they work as you saw he and wendy are having fun playing in the snow so anyway that's that update [Music] and i'm gonna do this one that i wrote with the great tony lane this is wish [Music] steering wheel sure was your radio [Music] a shower was in your pocket [Music] said [Music] oh [Music] [Music] baby [Music] wish i had a song [Music] make us [Music] and if you don't want me then i don't [Music] i don't know much [Music] you shouldn't start could break your heart well this is interesting i'm not sure why i followed on the set list wish i up with this song maybe it's a message to myself we'll see how it turns out [Music] i'm gonna have to tune um so guitars don't like snow either [Music] guitars don't like extremes it's important thing to remember don't put it by the fire and don't put it in the cone [Music] this o.j is particularly mad at me [Music] hey jay may and jane i just saw hey you can't get there from here i can't live on bread with water you heard the one about the father's daughter she just needs a little atmosphere you don't pick your occupation i didn't ask for this frustration i need a life and a nice full beard but you can't get there from here if i had time to think about it [Music] i'd build a castle in the yard [Music] for all the things i want so much always something i can't touch but i guess that would be too hard because you can't get there [Music] she just needs a little atmosphere [Music] [Music] going nowhere looking for a place that i've been alone [Music] the wind's pushing me in all directions [Music] [Music] she just needs a little atmosphere every right track turns out wrong but you can't get there from here i know you can't get there from here [Music] went out to the car this morning to warm it up we don't have a garage we park out on the street and uh so the windshield was totally iced over and cranked the car turned on the defrost like mama used to do to heat it up i made a note of the fact that i have seat warmers in my car and she did not what she had was vinyl that stuck to you no matter if it was zero or a hundred [Music] and i used to go out to the car some mornings and it would be so cold and the windshield will be iced over and she'd put us in the car and we'd bundle up [Music] she'd go back inside and fetch the bowler of water that she heated on the stove so that she could pour it on the windshield so it would clear a little spot for her to see so we could make the 30-mile drive to town [Music] the lord knows we made it on prayers and prayers alone can't think of anything else that would have gotten us through it [Music] this song was and always will be for her [Music] you gotta make it work on the shield strength can't exactly say well on the upswing ding ding throw me in a boxing ring burke can't fly with a bust [Music] [Music] but i don't know when mama says i gotta keep my trust in here i ought to hit my knees in this alabama but i lose the faith now that seems to work [Music] is [Music] why [Music] 90 miles an hour like a freight train [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]

right i'm going to leave you all with this one more i was not sure i wasn't sure if i was going to end with heal or if i was going to end with this next song i had to see how i felt first but i think i think i might be able to handle this so this is an old irish tune i learned when i toured with the chieftains uh i did a couple of tours with those fellas a long time ago it's in one way it seems like yesterday and then another it's 100 years ago but uh i got to tour with them and they are legendary and they are just what do you say they're the chieftains they're otherworldly they are the best at what they do and uh i learned a lot from those guys a lot about uh irish music and a lot about music in general and how universal it is and uh i'm very thankful for that experience but that's all to say i always get requests for this tune carrick fergus and uh y'all it tears me to pieces so uh not only is it a vocal event but uh it is that's one of the saddest tunes um that i know maybe the saddest tune i know uh so i'm gonna leave you with it it's a it's a cold snowing night i don't want to leave you with a downer but i do want to leave you with some depth and beauty so here you go thank you love y'all and uh i'll see you on the next uh soul soup and sunday songs which will be march 7th will not be february 28th i'll explain later but i gotta skip a week so uh march 7th the next uh soothing sunday songs okay y'all take care i wish i had you [Music] ah i've got to tune i'm sorry because you can't play one of the most beautiful songs that has ever been written on an attitude guitar [Music] it deserves more [Music] i wish i had you in carrick ferguson only for nights in valley grand [Music] i would swim over the deepest ocean [Music] the deepest ocean to be by your side [Music] but the season and i can't swim over and neither has [Music] i wish i could find me [Music] a handy boy to ferry me over [Music] to my love and die [Music] my childhood age bring back sad reflections of happy times [Music] so long ago [Music] my girlhood [Music] in my own relation [Music] have all passed on like the melting snow so i'll spend my days [Music] is [Music] on a long road down to the salty sea and kill kenny it is recorded [Music] on marble storm [Music] they're black as ink [Music] with gold and silver i did support her but i sing no more till i get a drink [Music] i'm drunk today [Music] i have never heard is [Music] [Music] in and lay me down how something so sad can be so life-affirming we wonder but here's why it allows us to feel and that makes us feel alive love y'all thank you for joining me see you soon
