It was a cold night in February
When my dream finally came true
Well thirteen years
Of listening and loving
The steam rolling blues
Now he's finally standing before me
Lookin a lot like a star
His voice rings out his words to me
As he finger picks his guitar

Oh JT won't you play for me yeahhhh
Play me a tune
Bout your silver moons (chorus)
And your fire and rain
And your sweet baby james
Won't you play for me

Now all these fools around me
They don't understand the man
Who's lived his life
Through his words
And all across this land
Now I'm not saying I know him
No, I never did say hello
But I think to myself
I do believe
I've watched the walkin man grow

(chorus)

Now when I'm feelin lonesome
Or when I want to be someone else
I think of a tune
That JT would play
And you know it really helps
For all his golden moments
Keep ringing in my ears
Taking me back
To faces I've known
And the memories of the years

(chorus)

Now you can be captain jim
Or you're mudd slide slim
Sing your highway song
Or your daddy's all gone
But just play one more for me
C'mon now JT
