From the Deeper Keep<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Winging westward, pilot\u2019s shades dimming sun<\/div>\n
lecture\u2019s over, mind\u2019s a blank, day is done<\/div>\n
laying back, drink in hand, but not Macallan\u2019s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You never know what triggers the deep<\/div>\n
to offer up treasures from a deeper keep<\/div>\n
You may not know what makes you weep<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The film begins. Willie Nelson\u2019s singing<\/div>\n
\u201cOn the Road Again.\u201d It\u2019s Honeysuckle Rose.<\/div>\n
I start to doze, but hear voices from long-ago<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You never know what triggers the deep<\/div>\n
to offer up treasures from the deeper keep<\/div>\n
you may not know what makes you weep<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s Tex Ritter, and Roy Acuff, and Bob Wills<\/div>\n
I hear Gene Autry and the Bluegrass Boys<\/div>\n
tears begin to stream and fall. I start to cry<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You never know what triggers the deep<\/div>\n
to offer up treasures from the deeper keep<\/div>\n
you may not know what makes you weep<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The stewardess comes and she\u2019s concerned<\/div>\n
no one knows why I\u2019m crying so. Even I.<\/div>\n
It\u2019s not the movie, but the singing in my head<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You never know what triggers the deep<\/div>\n
To offer up treasures from the deeper keep<\/div>\n
you may not know what makes you weep<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Days later I tell my parents of my crazy crying<\/div>\n
tell them what I heard. Dad says he knows why:<\/div>\n
seems he danced with me when I was a babe<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You never know what triggers the deep<\/div>\n
to offer up treasures from the deeper keep<\/div>\n
you may not know what makes you weep<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He danced with me to country music on the radio<\/div>\n
and he sang along as best he could again and again<\/div>\n
until his stuttering disappeared. I had not known.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You never know what triggers the deep<\/div>\n
To offer up treasures from the deeper keep<\/div>\n
You never know what what you will reap.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
