Thanks to all who commented on my last song, "Learning". (Josie, thanks!! - I did not want to bump it again) The first to respond was Kenny (44kfl). He said that it reminded him of "... riding in the back seat with my Dad driving with his Miller in hand listening to George Jones on the radio."In my response to him, I told him that sounded like the start of a song. A few days later, I got a PM from him with the lines to start this song (I really dig his writing). We hopped in that old Ford and took off. In no time at all, we had a song. Fire up BIAB, and you've got it finished in a matter of a couple of hours... We hope you enjoy the ride... (and...call your dad...say "hi"...) MY OLD MAN dad would never drive a chevy, had to be a ford miller in hand and he's got it floored momma says bill you'd better slow it down you got kids in the car, stop foolin' around he'd give her a wink, me and bobby would laugh our windows down, wrestling in the back the radio blasting " summer breeze" destination, tastee freeze my old man, he was one of a kind ran a little wild, but always walked a straight line never met a stranger, never turned from a fight saw both sides of the story, but knew which was right you don't talk religion, politics or war they just don't make 'em like that anymore my old man church on sunday for god and mom the sports page every day to know what was going on asking me and bobby if our homework's done 'cause chores come first, then you can have some fun never compromise your integrity above all else, family with just a look he said so much a firm hand, a loving touch my old man, he was one of a kind ran a little wild, but always walked a straight line never met a stranger, never turned from a fight saw both sides of the story, but knew which was right you don't talk religion, politics or war they just don't make 'em like that anymore my old man © 2015 Kenny Leverett and floyd jane Words and music.

Kenny and Floyd,
This goes to show that inspiration can come pretty fast with hearing just the right words :-)
The result: another solid production, with cool vocals and backing vocals (as always).
Both mandolin RT's work great here.

Kenny and floyd, or is it floyd and Kenny? Anyway that is country as it should be.
It is wonderful how a great song can appear in such a short time, once the excellent lyrics are there.
I won't comment on the instruments/mix etc because, as usual from floyd, they are top notch.
Just one question tho; What's a Miller?
congrats to both on a great tune

Great co-write guys. Vocal, production, cool mandolin and arrangement too. Agree with that lump in the throat comment. Love it when an uptempo song still gets ya with those real emotional zingers.

I love what you've done with this, one of my favorite songs of yours. My contribution was really just the scratch idea that you developed. I missed one the back and forth PMs and actually wrote verses that take this song into a different darker direction, but I like this version much better.

Alyn, if you've never sat in a bar and peeled the label off a miller (stolen from another song) then you haven't been "American sad!" It's one of the USA's popular "water beers" cause that's what they taste like.

Great song. I really liked the way the phrasing of the lyrics were done on this one. It sings differently than it reads in such a way it helps to carry the song forward.

Hi Floyd,
a great song again. In every aspect.
My regards to Kenny for kicking that off.
And thank God that I know now what a Miller
is.

Thanks, y'all! Good to see you back - was wondering where you got to... ho-hum, another great write and instant classic from floyd and friends -- what else is new (ha, ha). Good job on instrument selection, arangement and overall mix and sound.
Mighty fine write, well done! Appreciate that, Kevin...

Kenny's gift for furniture and Floyd's gift for craft, what could go wrong? Apparently.....Nothing!! Great song on all levels-memorable images, singable melody, creative and lively arrangement, and spotless mix. Great job guys! Wonderful co-write!! Take care. Greg

Great backstory guys. BiaB + the net + two talented users = ear candy for us forum folks. And irrespective of the time spent on it the production sounds "big studio" (and we cranked the Polks and the sub woofer up, way up, when we listened). Everything was hittin' the note. We had some uncles who could've been the poster boys for this tune and, hey, bet he didn't have his seat belt on either -- our imagery allows the belt but not harness or bags  And now we will kindly defer to all of Greg's comment. Great collab y'all!! J&B
