Lyrics

Maybe you don’t know me any more than I know you
And I wouldn’t blame you if you walked away
I’ve been watching you all evening with those teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more that I can say
You know I hate to think that someone
Could have hurt someone like you
And if I was him I’d be right by your side
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Saw you in the corner from the moment I walked in
Saw your lonely face across the room
No I won’t forget you and the way it could have been
Why’d you have to leave so soon
You know I hate to think there’s someone
You loved instead of me
‘Cause at times like this
I’d be right by your side
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while

585 EPISODES. 24 YEARS ON TV. BUT THE MOMENT HE PLAYED THIS SONG — EVERYTHING ELSE DISAPPEARED. Most people knew Roy Clark as the guy who made you laugh on Hee Haw. The big grin. The banjo jokes. The “pickin’ and grinnin'” with Buck Owens that 30 million Americans watched every single week. But what most people didn’t know… was what happened when the lights shifted and Roy picked up a fiddle. See, there’s this song. Written in 1938 by a man named Ervin T. Rouse, after he saw a luxury train called the Orange Blossom Special — a 1,388-mile ride from New York to Miami that once carried the wealthiest Americans through the winter cold to Florida sunshine. The music was built to sound like that train. The whistles. The wheels grinding on steel. The roar of acceleration. Fiddlers called it their national anthem. Hundreds recorded it. But nobody — nobody — played it the way Roy Clark did. He wasn’t just a guitarist. He wasn’t just a TV host. The man had mastered guitar, banjo, mandolin, and fiddle, all before most people figure out what they want to do with their lives. And when he tore into “Orange Blossom Special,” his fingers moved so fast the audience stopped breathing. That’s not a figure of speech. You can see it in the old footage. People’s mouths just… open. Roy Clark passed away in 2018 at 85. But that song — born from a train that stopped running in 1953, written by a fiddler nobody remembers enough — it’s still here. Still making rooms go silent before they erupt. Some songs outlive the trains. Some performances outlive the performer. And sometimes, a man the world knew for comedy turns out to be the most breathtaking musician in the room 😢

HE LOST 3 PEOPLE HE LOVED MOST IN 2 YEARS. THEN HE PRAYED, “THANK YOU, LORD, FOR LETTING ME DIE IN THE OLDEST HONKY-TONK IN TEXAS.”Billy Joe Shaver was never the polished Nashville type. He was the Texas songwriter who wrote 11 of the 12 songs on Waylon Jennings’ Honky Tonk Heroes — one of the most important outlaw country albums ever made. He wrote like the road had cut him open and left the truth showing.Then 1999 came. His wife Brenda — cancer. His mother — cancer. Same year. And on New Year’s Eve 2000, his son Eddy, his guitar player, his shadow onstage, died of an overdose at 38.Billy Joe kept moving. Because stopping probably felt worse.On August 25, 2001, he walked onto the stage at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Texas. The crowd came for songs. What they didn’t know was that somewhere in the middle of the set, Billy Joe’s heart started giving out. A heart attack. Right there under the lights.But here’s the part that still gets me.He didn’t go to a hospital for four days. Four days. And when doctors finally told him he needed a quadruple bypass or his heart could quit any second — he said no. He booked a three-week tour of Australia with Kinky Friedman instead. Willie Nelson told him the fresh air would do more good than sitting home with the curtains drawn.So every night down under, Billy Joe flipped a coin with Kinky to see who played first. And every night, he performed like it was his last show. Because it very well could have been.Two days after landing back in the States, he finally had the surgery.Most country singers write about surviving the road. Billy Joe Shaver survived a heart that tried to quit in the middle of the set — and a grief that most songs couldn’t hold.
