Never been there... On second thought i guess i have. 🤔😢🤷🏼‍♂️Really loved everything about this song! 🙂❤️👏

From David Easterling 😳🤣🤷🏼‍♂️

That first line really grabbed my attention. Brilliant storytelling and songwriting!

I read through the lyrics and comments while listening, and then I stopped to take the time to listen to Mama's Eyes before commenting. Having the background really puts your song, which is already incredible on its own, into a whole new light, Kent. Really well done with this one.

Man this is just chock full of evocative images

I LOVE the melody at the end of the chorus, it got stuck in my head. And the lyrics... <3 just amazing.

Dang man. This is brilliant. Everything from the first line. Have you been listening to Tom T. Hall? That's what it reminds me of, and a lot, at that.

Great work Kent, poignant lyrics and delivery.

My friend was friends with Steve Earle's sister
And the stories that she told about her telling stories
With second hand hearsay being small town gospel
Pray

At these times we should stop and wait
It's not my place to speculate
Think about the nothing that we make with time
And the something that we leave behind

You can take someone out of context, try to grow them straight
In the shade of burning trees a street or two away
You can take years to leave the ones before
You can take someone out of context, but when the context is a war
Sometimes it doesn't matter
Some die fighting losing battles

It's a wonder for those on the line
That anyone makes it to 29
Easy enough for me to say
The leaving behind, the nothing made
The thousand miles, the setting straight
The burning bright, praying for rain
The small town gospel gossip pray
The, hell, who am I to say
