[00:02.53]One of the first gigs that I ever played
[00:04.40]Out of all places
[00:05.82]Was at my brother's fraternity house in Norman
[00:07.93]For some philanthropy event
[00:10.75]And you see my twelve-year-old self at the time
[00:13.49]Decided to go on stage and intro one of the ballads by saying
[00:16.73]"This is for all of the people who have ****** me over"
[00:20.57]At twelve-years-old
[00:21.19]I can only imagine how long that list was
[00:24.73]After the show
[00:25.37]My mom pulled me aside with like
[00:27.44]True catholic anger in her eyes
[00:29.55]Red in the face
[00:30.63]You know whole nine-yards
[00:32.44]And she said
[00:33.08]"Listen men don't talk like that boys do
[00:36.77]And I am raising you to be a man"
[00:39.32]And of course she was right
[00:40.17]And I think I hated most that I disappointed her
[00:45.69]She stopped smoking the year I was born
[00:47.51]But anytime I think of that story
[00:48.97]I always picture her with a Virginia slim in her hand
[00:52.31]It was her favorite smoke
