at the Mockingbird Lounge.

Shirtsleeves McCoy.

He's an old friend of mine.

If your daddy worked much

in Nashville,

Shirtsleeves

will remember him.

You should ask him.

You girls should go.

To Nashville?

Without telling Mama

or Meemaw?

We're already halfway there.

We don't have permission.

Piper, if you're ever

gonna get anywhere in life,

you gotta go places

where you haven't been before.

[THE STICKERS' "ROAD TRIPPIN'"

PLAYING]

It's something sexy

That I can't explain

Gets my motor running

- PIPER:
Turn it up!

- ADA:
Turn it up!

ALL:
Mudflaps on the

back Yosemite Sam

I get so excited

I can barely stand

I like a girl

In a pickup truck

A cute convertible

Don't heat me up

I love to watch her

When she climbs up

I like a girl

In a pickup truck

- There it is!

- Nashville, baby!

[LAUGHS]

- We have arrived!

- [ALL WHOOPING]

ADA:
Ryman, the mother

church of country music!

Okay, my aunt Misty

met Uncle Dell here at Tootsies.

- PIPER:
Really?

- JUSTINE:
Yep.

PIPER:

Wow! The Stage!

Robert's Western World.

ALL:

"Home of the Sho-Bud!"

JUSTINE:

Big Time Boots.

- [PIPER GASPS]

- [JUSTINE LAUGHS]

I will fight you

for the red ones.

PIPER:

You better bring it.

- Picture. Picture. Come on.

- Oh, okay.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]

ADA:
Stay in the truck.

I'll go check it out.

I am not letting you go

in a bar by yourself.

It's a music place,

not a bar.

All right, well,

then I'm going with you.

I'm not standing out here alone

like someone's farting dog.

Good visual, Piper.

- Oh, boy.

- Are they closed?

They answered the phone.

DECLAN:
Sorry, sorry, sorry I'm late.

I'm here.

ADA:

Excuse me.

Do you work here?

Ye... Yes, ma'am.

I... I... I work here.

How can I help you?

We're looking for a fella

named Shirtsleeves McCoy.

Probably in his office,

but we don't open up till 7.

We drove hours to get here

and we're just hoping

to ask him a few questions.

Where y'all from?

- Parnell.

- Cool.

Uh, yeah, I can...

I can let someone know

you're here. This way.

Thanks.

Are you a musician?

Uh, yes, ma'am,

I like to think so.

My sister plays guitar.

And she sings.

I do too.

We're not trying to audition

or nothing.

We're here

about family stuff.

- I'm Ada Spencer.

- And I'm Piper.

I'm Declan.

I'm just the person

documenting it all.

You got a name?

Yep.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

- It's Declan.

- [DOOR BUZZES]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

Fellas, how we doing?

- MAN 1:
Howdy.

- Opening act.

- Always here early.

- MAN 2:
What's up?

This way.

- Mr. McCoy.

- You're late.

I just found these three girls

out front.

- Wanted to talk to you about...

- I got a security camera, Declan.
