@@jaycobstopher when billy was younger his stepdad (a bluegrass musician) had to sell his Martin guitar to pay bills. Years later Billy found the guitar online and saved up for it, bought it and surprised his step dad with it. The first song he played on it was this one
The story of his dad's guitar was incredible and the fact this song is tied to such an event must make this so much more meaningful to him im sure and you can hear it in the performance! Love billy strings so much!
We listened reeaaaaalll close to this song in Saginaw, Michigan in 2022. What a tune! I think Billy may have enjoyed this one that night the most. His facial expressions said it all…. This song is special to him.
Written by John Hammond first released by the Judd's in 1984 . The gals side of the song , take ya back to a time when you first left home for the first time . I got up Alaska and Seattle way when I took a walk . I sho got to missing that southern cooking and them southern belles . Cameback home jumped the river picked me a Georgia peach 😁
The journey is complete.2 g sons an 2 big sons.women huh.i loved.sometimes,over rated ,ha.riding this world an it kicks sometimes like a thoroughbred at cantabury downs.ha pannekoeken .broke turf record.i took care of.$10.000 fast wow fun.🤣❤️
I love Billy Strings. But this song belongs to Larry Sparks. Larry did it so much better and didn't need a fan blowing his hair around or fake smoke in the background.
Glad you got that Martin back buddy
Me too
Great story
man I was in college at Ole Miss and went to this show. This is one of my favorite songs Billy plays and completely forgot he played it here
knowing that story that Billy told, this song is much more beautiful
That story led me here. Great story.
What story??

One day we will all say..”I remember Billy Strings when he was just starting out.”
Larry would be proud...A fine rendition by Billy..Thanks Maven

First time I ever heard this song in my life. Just now tonight. Gorgeous music.
Heard this for the first time when I took my mom to see Billy in Stanford. What a song.
Good Lord, dude. I'm Larry Sparks thru and thru and you nailed this. Not surprising 😃
You talk not only to your mother but to the world with your guitar
Billy for president...2024
I dunno.. he's pretty liberal!.. Lets just let him keep doing what he does best.. Jammin!.. :)
If he does not become president, Billy can come to Barcelona, the city hall doors always open for him. Don't forget your guitar, Billy.
@@vwald Liberal=open minded. Let's get him on the ticket, because what we got going is not working.
@Baum Squad What do you mean?
@Baum Squad Yeah it takes a while to clean up after "conservatives" historically.

Actually written by Lawrence Hammond. Lead singer and songwriter for one of the first psychedelic bands in San Francisco, 'Mad River'.
Best version is TCU Billy Strings July 30 my god, It’s fully owned in that one!
A little Larry!

Well Larry didn’t even write this song. It was first arranged and played by Jerry Corbitt. Nice try trying to diss Billy though.
@@wesleymaxwell5257 I like Billy Srings a lot. I just prefer Larry Sparks's version of this song.
@@CarlDRocco I hear ya dude. I love em both. Have fun listening and rock on!
