Introduction

Listening to Joey+Rory’s Long Line Of Love feels like reconnecting with an old friend—its soulful narrative carries you away on a journey through generations of heartfelt memories and quiet moments of reflection.

Lyrics

I bought a beautiful diamond ring

And offered it to the sweetest thing I know

And she said she would take it

We started making some wedding plans

She looked at me and she took my hand and said

“Do you think we can make it?”

I said “My Granddad’s still in love with my Grandma”

I said “My Dad still thinks my Mom’s the sweetest thing he ever saw”

I come from a long line of love

When times get hard

We don’t give up

Forever’s in my heart and in my blood

You see I come from a long line of love

Years went by and we had a son

Now he thinks that he’s found the one for him

And they’re planning a wedding

He called me up on the phone today

Just to see what I had to say to him

Did I think he was ready?

I said what his grandfather used to say to me

It’s been handed down for ages

It runs in the family

You come from a long line of love

When times get hard

You won’t give up

Forever’s in your heart and in your blood

Son, you come from a long line of love

Yes you come from a long line of love

Vince Gill has 22 Grammy Awards. Twenty-two. More than any male country artist who ever lived. But ask him which song of his career means the most, and he won’t mention a single trophy. He’ll talk about a funeral. In the mid-’90s, Gill was carrying something heavy. His brother had passed, and a close friend — a young man with a whole life ahead — was gone too soon. Gill sat with that grief for years before he turned it into music. What came out wasn’t a country song in any way people expected. It was a hymn. Barely any drums. Just that Oklahoma tenor reaching so high it felt like the man was trying to hand-deliver the words somewhere past the ceiling. Nashville heard it and didn’t know what to do at first. Country radio wasn’t sure where to put it. But people at funerals knew. Churches knew. Families burying someone they loved too much knew. The song won CMA Song of the Year. George Jones requested it for his own memorial. Vince’s wife Amy Grant — herself a music icon — once said she still can’t hear it without stopping whatever she’s doing. Gill has played this song at hundreds of funerals over the years, sometimes flying across the country just to sing it for a grieving family. He never charges a dime. “If that song can bring somebody five minutes of peace during the worst day of their life,” he told a reporter once, “then it did more than I ever could.” Twenty-two Grammys, and the song that defines Vince Gill is one he wishes he never had a reason to write. Do you know which song that is?
