sittin' in the drive.

Yeah...

I was too,

when daddy came home with it.

I gave him some sh*t.

You know where they make

this pickup?

I would think Japan.

No, man. San Antonio.

Really?

Swear to god, man.

San Antonio.

So...

It's not a bad truck too,

you know.

It gets good mileage,

good power on here.

Yeah, it drives smooth.

Yep.

Wheeler, we never got

a chance to talk about...

What you went through

a few years back.

Yeah, I don't wanna

go there, Bobby.

Look, I'm sorry.

I care about you.

I just... wanna get an idea

of how you dealt with it.

I mean, years went by and...

You didn't talk to anyone.

I was runnin', man,

like you hear about everybody.

When you're in pain, you run.

You wanna forget who you are,

forget where you come from.

What changed, man?

Moved back in with my daddy,

was on my farm,

started writin' songs again.

Bad things happen

to good people, man.

The way of the world.

The mavericks are lookin'

pretty good this season.

You gotta come down

for some games, man.

Went to a couple with daddy

last year.

They got these chicken fingers.

Me and daddy, we'd go through

three orders Durin' the game.

I know he's proud of you

for takin' this journey.

Yeah... I'm just happy

he's somewhere else now.

He had a good, long life.

He was a good man.

Yeah, he was.

Even though he drove

a Japanese truck in the end.

Hold on. Hold on, boys.

Hell yeah!

I can't believe...

We're comin' into town, man.

We finally made it.

I do need

to find a toilet, though.

All right, I'm gettin' off, man.

I just wanna drive down Broadway

before we find

a place to stay, all right?

Let's do it.

Cool.

Hold on.

We made it to Nashville.

Hold on. I'm gonna

make a left here, I think.

That's the Ryman!

That's Ryman right there!

Bobby, shoot the Ryman!

I'll be damned, man.

I think we're comin' up

on the alley.

That's the backstage, man.

I think that's

the backstage entrance.

I gotta find me a place to park.

Oh, man...

Who's playin' tonight?

I have no idea.

Oh.

It must be further down.

'Cause that's tootsie's, man.

This is the backstage entrance.

- Hi there.

- Can we help you?

Are y'all open tonight or...?

We are,

but go around to the front

and buy a ticket, man.

Oh, okay.

There's a show tonight?

Yeah.

Who's playin'?

Umphrey's McGee.

Oh, okay, cool.

Have a good night, pal.

Nice to see ya.

Who's playin'?

Humphreys Mcg...

I don't know him.

Who's Humphreys McGee?

He's playin' tonight.

We just got in, but...

They wouldn't let us through.

He said, "have a good night."

Basically,

"get the hell outta here."

Well... Man, we got

that close, you know. Whew.

You know how many artists
