Tom T. Hall Lyrics
"Intro to Song Nine"

Now the audience is gonna disappear they get thirsty they won't come back
Well I wanna sing this song here
I love this song I wrote this song several years ago
And there's some songs that kinda hang around
And you remember them from time to time
And I'm so grateful to the disc jockeys of America
Because as I travel across this country and around the world
Once in awhile on the radio I will hear this song
And it reminds me that a good song stays around a long time
And this was never a single record was never a hit record
But I'm so happy that I keep hearin' it from time to time
It means a lot to a songwriter and I suppose to a singer
And we'd like to do this song for you
