We fell into each others arms and walked home with enough music to last us the rest of our lives. “Boot Stomping Country Music!” We fell apart at the same time and never together. We got jobs. We lost friends. We failed horribly at love. We learned gravity and walked heavier across the concrete. We were left wanting all that was behind. WAYLON & THE We don’t dance as good no more. Maybe once in a while we can find our legs. We tried and then tried at love again. We tried to be more of someone’s good memories than their bad.

We listened to clothes in the dryer Saturday April 30th or a loose fan knocking on rotation. We lost all of our CD’s. “Rocking Country Music!” We don’t look for the old cities.
