This was one of the most powerful concerts I’ve ever been to… The reunion tour I never thought we’d get, the venue I’d always wanted to see, and the lunar eclipse that lasted the entire set… It was a perfect night in every sense.
With the midnight sky and your big brown eyes like you stumbled on a pearl Woke me from a thousand meter stare With a halo hanging just a little too heavy And another evening's curls Mixed up with the morning in your hair Like a country girl who came across a cat out in the rain Like a country girl you played it true to form Come to lay a little pity on the prodigal son who parted with his name Little shelter for a stray out in the storm You can try to put the past behind It's on your clothes like burning pine Is it gin or turpentine you keep in your canteen? Oh if pressure makes a diamond babe, I still might come out clean A simple solitary joy, temporary comfort (or company?) Well I closed my eyes and felt I'd slept a hundred thousand years And waking now with disregard the terms of my surrender Took every bad fork in the road and look who's standing here And we were victims of eternal love for almost half a morning She said I know you can't go home again, tell me where you land Are you used to get another chance, you get to be reborn And here's to greener higher heels to make your final stand You can try to put the past behind It's on your clothes like burning pine Is it gin or turpentine you keep in your canteen? If pressure makes a diamond babe, I still might come out clean For a walking ghost that southern coast was a lawless piece of heaven There were bayou dives and oyster knives and liquor for to drown And the Q-beam lights and the rooster fights And months I don't remember My winning hand went busted And my luck was winding down In the southeast Texas setting sun I sat surveying damage done We wish you luck and fortune hun But we're closing in an hour Backed up to the trinity With no more road to run No longer could I wander on alone on my own power You can try to put the past behind Perhaps it's only in your mind They close the doors at nine at Channel Marker 17 If pressure makes a diamond babe, I still might come out clean Tejanos curse in Spanish And a Cajun eyes the weather There's black mud on the belly of the yellow colt I ride Never thought I'd catch myself so calm out in the open As a gulf storm deals in bucket loads And hits from every side
im beyond excited to see them in june. without a doubt my favorite country artists of all time. Evan is a hero to songwriters everywhere. such beautiful stuff every single damn time. i cannot wait.
Oh, man, this is just ... so much better than the album version. Shooter Jennings and Turnpike go together like milk and vinegar, just absolutely ruined this one.
Anyone have an idea of when the new album will be released? Idk if theyre even done with it, I just saw I commented on this video 8 months ago.. Can't wait to hear what other gems come out of evan & co!
I was trying to learn this song and came across this. What a powerful song, especially in this format. I think I have a new favorite Troubadors song.

Better than the album version
A lyrical genius that just happens to put his words to my favorite kind of music.
I feel exactly the same.
Turnpike was the sound track to my four years of college. Powerful music!
Same! Pretty much same for all of us down here in Oklahoma and Texas.
Me too
They were the soundtrack to my 5
With the midnight sky and your big brown eyes like you stumbled on a pearl
Woke me from a thousand meter stare
With a halo hanging just a little too heavy
And another evening's curls
Mixed up with the morning in your hair
Like a country girl who came across a cat out in the rain
Like a country girl you played it true to form
Come to lay a little pity on the prodigal son who parted with his name
Little shelter for a stray out in the storm
You can try to put the past behind
It's on your clothes like burning pine
Is it gin or turpentine you keep in your canteen?
Oh if pressure makes a diamond babe, I still might come out clean
A simple solitary joy, temporary comfort (or company?)
Well I closed my eyes and felt I'd slept a hundred thousand years
And waking now with disregard the terms of my surrender
Took every bad fork in the road and look who's standing here
And we were victims of eternal love for almost half a morning
She said I know you can't go home again, tell me where you land
Are you used to get another chance, you get to be reborn
And here's to greener higher heels to make your final stand
You can try to put the past behind
It's on your clothes like burning pine
Is it gin or turpentine you keep in your canteen?
If pressure makes a diamond babe, I still might come out clean
For a walking ghost that southern coast was a lawless piece of heaven
There were bayou dives and oyster knives and liquor for to drown
And the Q-beam lights and the rooster fights
And months I don't remember
My winning hand went busted
And my luck was winding down
In the southeast Texas setting sun
I sat surveying damage done
We wish you luck and fortune hun
But we're closing in an hour
Backed up to the trinity
With no more road to run
No longer could I wander on alone on my own power
You can try to put the past behind
Perhaps it's only in your mind
They close the doors at nine at Channel Marker 17
If pressure makes a diamond babe, I still might come out clean
Tejanos curse in Spanish
And a Cajun eyes the weather
There's black mud on the belly of the yellow colt I ride
Never thought I'd catch myself so calm out in the open
As a gulf storm deals in bucket loads
And hits from every side
"greener higher hills" makes more sense.

August, I think. They released Mean Old Sun a couple of months ago and Chipping Mill a few days ago.
He has two versions of lyrics for this song. Still a poet.
I've noticed this version has different lyrics than some uploads on yt.
Did anybody get a video of the song that the band performed without Evan? Such a great song
just posted it. Started recording at the second verse
Been a long damm time....
Whose here to listen to the original version because they absolutely butchered it on the new album making it a rock song
Calm down bud.
