seventy one today. Kicksy started out as a songwriter her

128
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.279
out there in Nashville. He couldn't find any success as

129
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.120
a solo artist. I mean, he did release an album,

130
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.600
but it didn't do very well. Then in nineteen ninety

131
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.879
a record company and they teamed up with Ronnie Dunn.

132
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.040

137
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.959
Brooks and Dunn. They're opening for Morgan Wallen on his

138
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.160
stadium tour right now. Kicks He married nineteen eighty one

139
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.639
and they have one son. Now I'm betting a lot

00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:34.759

212
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:59.000
It all started with a cold beer in stoky atmosphere.

213
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.440
Few words whispered in Eryar and him.

214
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.639
To get on out of here. And it was down

215
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:11.759
some back road in the back seat of close. We

216
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.679

217
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:17.039
the cold beer.

218
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.320
I remember that night the plainest day I dropped the

219
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.679
top on my Chevrolet, and I'm pickture up.

220
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.919
I was sweet on her, she was leary of me.

221
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:40.639
I was on arms, she was uncleased. You did not touch.

222
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:48.799
I alled how and my gown and brave the eyes

223
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:55.000
with the girl that's so hurting and so nice.

224
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.159
It all started with a cold fer in smoke, the

225
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.360
atmosphere of your words, whispered enery.

226
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.159

up close, beginning together almost a year.

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.000
It all started with the cold.

230
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.360
Can be talking texts?

231
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:30.720
Then I'm thinking, if this love goes right well, tither not.

232
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.519
We're looking at a little piece of ground about ten

233
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:47.519
miles outside of town on the mountain side, maybe a

00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:54.759
couple kids down the road, if it keeps going like

235
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:56.639

236
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.519
It all started with the cold here, in smoky atmosphere

237
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.320
of your word, whispered interview.
