Pure Country: Pure Heart Page #4

---

weathered barn over and over

and expect to build

any type of portfolio.

All those old faces

at that place tell a story.

You got plenty of things

to point your camera at.

I'm not going back.

I'm trying to get

a scholarship, Ada.

Wherever college

you end up at

will be lucky to get you.

Thanks.

You know, maybe Piper will

go back with me on Saturday.

You are not taking

my little sister

to a veteran home

without me.

[CAITLYN SMITH'S "STARFIRE"

PLAYING]

It's like I'm walking

On a highway

Staring straight

Into the sun

With the universe around me

Waiting for me to fall down

If that ornery man is here

I'm not so much as saying hello.

You need to turn those mad pants

into glad pants.

Stop bickering.

We didn't need to bring

a pie.

Did too.

Mama thinks I'm riding a horse.

PIPER:
We're just dropping

this pie to Mr. C.J. Simms

and getting Justine

some photo opportunities.

Sign in.

Thanks.

We know where his room's at.

He ain't there.

Did something happen to him?

Today's band day.

Down the hall,

in the community room.

Ladies.

[PLAYING "SILVER CITY]

On my way

To Silver City

MAN 1:

Yeah!

Was a man I meant to see

Drivin' through

The Black Range Mountains

When it all

Came back to me

MAN 2:

Yeah!

You said meet me

By the river

MAN 3:

Oh, yeah!

We would start

Our brand-new life

MAN 4:

Whoo!

Your daddy swore

You were his treasure

You would never

Be my wife

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

A thousand tears

Fall in the darkness

A thousand times

I've wondered why

How it hurts now

To remember

I'd forgotten

How to cry

I'd forgotten

How to cry

[CROWD WHOOPING

AND CHEERING]

C.J.:

We could play all day for you,

but the management

is closing us down.

Something about bathroom breaks

and people having too much fun.

[LAUGHS]

MAN:

Sounding good, C.J.!

Hey, Mr. Simms.

You're back.

The pie's strawberry-rhubarb.

Just like you said.

There is nothing better

than a woman who can hear.

- Heard that.

- Our Meemaw made it.

Bless her precious heart.

She bakes

to control her OCD.

Fingers crossed

she's never cured.

I got some news, June bugs.

I have cracked the nut

that is Mr. Henry LaRue Monroe.

Yeah? What did he say?

Well, he offered up

that Brian Spencer

was a good Marine.

And that your father

could sing.

Yeah, we've been told.

C.J.:
So you know that

before he met your mom

he was chasing

the songwriter dream?

How was that?

In Nashville. He worked the

clubs.

Put together a little career

from what I hear.

You're sure he was talking

about the right Brian Spencer?

The Marine

who saved Monroe's life.

- Swear you're not making this up?

- Ha, ha.

There's a fella
