The Caverns Sessions

- 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 wearing my red pants, 'cause I figured if I get lost in the cave, it's a better shot at finding me.

(audience laughing) I'm so glad y'all are here.

I'd be super creeped out if you weren't.

(audience laughing) (mid-tempo dramatic music) Thick Georgia woman, her body knows Basket of peaches under her clothes She move like a razor, she'll peel your heart Thick Georgia woman, where do you start She's gonna lock the door, take off her bra Call up her sister in Arkansas Pour her rights in jar of wine Talk about class in decline In her chest is a treasure trove Rich as the groceries on the stove A world of hurt in disguise, happy as hell otherwise Thick Georgia woman, her body knows Basket of peaches under her clothes She move like a razor, she'll peel your heart Thick Georgia woman, where do you start She stands over the sink in her weekend jeans Gotta get the sand off of them greens One quiet look, one quiet tone A million lines though a megaphone Come Sunday dress, JCPenny Same top she wore to see Kevn Kinney When others leave, she just stays You don't hear that now a days Thick Georgia woman, her body knows Basket of peaches under her clothes She move like a razor, she'll peel your heart Thick Georgia woman, where do you start (dramatic mid-tempo music) (dramatic mid-tempo music) And what she thinks only heaven knows What she got ain't what she chose There's sandy land, there's Southern pride There's Jesus saves, there's suicide There's hair that reaches for the sky In air that don't ever dry A feather down place to hide For your dream genocide It's supposed to wound, it's supposed to ache It's somebody's deal you're supposed to take Try not to judge, try not to curse Cry on that bible til it burst Thick Georgia woman, her body knows Basket of peaches under her clothes She move like a razor, she'll peel your heart Thick Georgia woman, where do you start (dramatic mid-tempo music) (dramatic mid-tempo music) (cheering and applause) (cheering and applause) (lively acoustic guitar music) All manner of men coming at my door Since the one that was up ain't around anymore Got one he lay naked, sang Zeppelin to me Drives a matte black BMW SUV He whispered there's a line of coke right of the sink He brushed my hair and filled my drink And I can't decide who is poisoning me Or when I look in the mirror who am I gonna see These days are one long night I hear my mother calling out my name People talk about heaven rolling round in hell Give girls like me something special to sell I'm sipping on your daddy's sweet vermouth So it's easy for me to tell ya the truth I bare this soul, I bare this pain Least it gets heard, no it ain't in vain So don't come sellin' crazy, we stocked up here And don't forget your souvenir These days are one long night And I hear my mother calling out my name (upbeat music) (upbeat music) I can feel the eyes bounce off me Yeah, you can believe that sure ain't free And it's all right and it's all true Keep talking bout anybody but you 'Cause when the tears roll they flower my tongue And where there's smoke it warms my lungs If you think I can't take the heat They don't sell crack on Cleveland Street These days are one long night I hear my mother calling out my name Temporary Jesus and impermanent fate While rehab bodies lay in state Soon I will rest in Orion's arms Where I can't hear your false alarms I'll sing with sirens of the sea A million miles from purgatory Maybe in morning I'll get some rest Take another strangers head to my chest These days are one long night And I hear my mother calling out my name These days, they come out of spite And I hear my mother calling out my Hear my mother calling out my Hear my mother calling out my... name (cheering and applauding) - Thank you.

(mellow mysterious music) (mellow mysterious music) Bones... Bones (rhythmic upbeat music) Bones... Bones... I wear your bones around my neck I am the keeper of the flame Yes, it's true I've been a wreck But I love you just the same Tonight I'll play another show I'll feel high and I'll feel low Then I'll do a double-check I wear your bones around my neck Bones... Bones... Diggy Liggy Li and Diggy Liggy Lo Wonder if they're still a go If they take the time to dance A flash in the underpants Can't hear the wind til it moves trees Here are our nominees With their heart attack in tow Diggy Liggy Li, Diggy Liggy Lo... 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... I wear your bones around my neck I am the keeper of the flame Yes, it's true I've been a wreck But I love you just the same Tonight I'll play another show I'll talk on the radio Then I'll do a double-check I wear your bones around my neck (dramatic upbeat music) Bones... Bones... (dramatic upbeat music) Thank y'all so much.
