ELIZABETH COOK
- Hidden deep beneath the Cumberland Mountains, in Grundy County, Tennessee, lies one of the world's most magical, musical adventures, "The Caverns Sessions"!
Three million years in the making, pure acoustics offer music from the heart of the American experience, center stage and deep inside the mountain.
This time welcoming, Elizabeth Cook!
They bat their eyelashes a lot They sing sweetly - It's deep down sound in the Caverns.
Coming up next!
(cheering and applauding) (lively upbeat music) (lively upbeat music) When I dropped you off at jail It was hot as hell But I was mostly flush From the heat between us As I watched you turn with that razor burn Still on my lips It was most profound The truth was in my hips Boy I'll drive this truck right through a razorwire wall If there's any doubt they don't know us at all Meet you on the other side in just three days In a brand new ride, you know I got my ways And when they come around we'll be out of town Your mama knows the drill We'll be in the woods under the hood of a moonshine still (lively upbeat music) Boy I'll drive this truck right through a razorwire wall If there's any doubt they don't know us at all (lively upbeat music) (lively upbeat music) But boy I'll drive this truck Right through a razorwire wall If there's any doubt they don't know us at all If there's any doubt they don't know us at all (Elizabeth vocalizes) (lively upbeat music) (cheering and applauding) - Thank you.
(cheering and applauding) Thanks so much.
I'll do this song I wrote for my sister.
(guitar strums) My sister's obsessed with butterflies She's got angel eyes She is still a child Life's dealt her a pretty rough hand She joined a cosmic band Now she sees every bird land She goes lightly... On the air (gentle rock music) She goes lightly... Without a prayer Without I prayer But I would stand before a fast moving train Before I let your shame Bring her anymore pain If you treat her anything but kind You'll be out of time Because her hand is in mind We go lightly... On the air (gentle rock music) We go lightly... Without a prayer Without a prayer Without a prayer Without a prayer My sister's obsessed with butterflies She's got angel eyes She is still a child (lively upbeat music) (lively upbeat music) - Thank you.
(cheering and applauding) - Thanks so much.
(cheering and applauding) (upbeat music) - This is something off my album "Aftermath", y'all.
(groovy upbeat music) Watching yourself standing at the crossroads Look over your shoulder while the other guy reloads It seems only human to want out (upbeat music) Weighin' all the options when you just wanna scream But you freak into a calm cause you gotta pick a team And you play their way until you get to shout (upbeat music) All the perfect girls of pop They bat their eyelashes a lot They sing sweetly, they sing sweetly Like they never been hurt before Like they never had their heart slammed in a door They sing sweetly, they sing sweetly (groovy upbeat music) Winning and losing and everything between And spinning in circles like a big machine And working up a quiet inner rage (upbeat music) Til a rhythm and beat comes in your head And it goes right under something you said And you wake up wondering if you are okay (upbeat music) All the perfect girls of pop They bat their eyelashes a lot And sing sweetly, they sing sweetly (upbeat music) Like they never been hurt before Like they never had their heart slammed in a door They sang sweetly, they sing sweetly (groovy upbeat music) (groovy upbeat music) Safe and cold's a mighty resonator Just because I think about her don't mean I hate her I don't believe her fire keeps you warm (upbeat music) If you think too much it's the land of indecision If you don't think enough it's the imprecision I guess I just don't understand the form All the perfect girls of pop They bat their eyelashes a lot And sing sweetly, they sing sweetly They sing sweetly, they sing sweetly (upbeat music) (cheering and applauding) - Thank you.
(cheering and applauding) - I'm gonna tune this, we'll just... Y'all got till about Monday, right?

(audience laughing) I'm so glad y'all are here.
I'd be super creeped out if you weren't.

Bones... Bones Let's take time to recognize All the very best goodbyes How they paved a solemn path In their brutal aftermath Listen for the rattlesnake Hear the weeping willow ache There's no slowing down the skies Let's take time to recognize Bones... Bones...
