and it's such a great pleasure to be on this show tonight ladies and gentleman

tell uh

it's given me a thrill inside

you know

and i wish that

you may think i'm puttin' you on

but uh please believe me

for somehow or another

i hate to say this

but uh

we get a better thrill out of playing over here then we do at home

so uh

haha

but uh

i must

thank you

i must say this that uh

regardless to how an entertainer feel it are always the people that makes him feel okay

so that's why we always get the question asked us

during the course of a tour

do you ever get lonesome by it for not beeing at home

people can make you feel at home

and when i

thank you very much

and when i get that feeling like that i go be that and

play a tune that goes something like this

just ten years ago

people how i would live my life

no one would ever know

the things that i think i would do

no one will never know

i sit down in my dark room sometime

tears rollin' down from my eyes

i sit down in my dark room

tears rollin' down from my eyes

i began to wonder

oh

what makes a man like poor me cry

well i might as well forget all about it
