So do me a favor. Ease up on him, will you, pal?
Tommy? Yeah, Tommy.
Yeah, you got me. All right, I'm gonna talk to you in Houston.
And don't marry your friend.
I'm-I'm not gettin' married. Listen-
Bullshit.
You wanna call him back and tell him I'm not about to marry you?
You might wanna wait till I ask before you turn me down.
I'm gonna sleep on the foldout. It'd be too confusing for Buddy.
No, I'll do that. No, no. No, no. You need a bed.
It's all right. I want to. I'm gonna go get him.
He really wants to draw on your cast.
Will you do something for me? You name it.
Don't drink in front of him.
No problem. Here.
Bad!
Whoo!
- Look at you, Bud! - If I needed you
I can see the mountains! Whoo!
Would you come to me
And ease my pain
- Hey, Mom! Look at that! - If you needed me
- I would come to you - Wow!
I would swim the seas
- For to be with thee - What a ride! Come here!
Wow! Was that fun? Oh, my God!
Ow! Ooh! You've gotta go up there. It's like another world.
Ooh. Kiss me.
Take that. This domestic deal- pretty darn intense.
He's really like that? Hmm? What are you talking about?
You've been married a whole bunch. Yeah.
But I, you know- I didn't, uh-
I got a 28-year-old son, Jeannie.
I haven't seen him since he was four years old.
Where is he? I don't know.
His mother, Mary Jo, lives in Mafa, Texas.
I don't know what he looks like.
I don't know what he does.
Never taught him how to ride a bike or watched him play baseball. None of that.
Why not?
I don't know. I wasn't there, even when I was.
I couldn't live if I lost Buddy.
That's the damnedest part. You do.
Maybe we can get away by ourselves this weekend.
What day is today?
Thursday. I'm not gonna make it, see?
Oh, well. Come here now.
Don't rip your pretty dress. Come here.
What?
I looked into your eyes
The lost open windows
All around
- My dark heart lit up the skies - I gotta go. I gotta go.
Oh!
Now that I've worn out
I've worn out
The world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moon's never seen me before
- I love you. - But I'm reflecting light
Stir that up.
I gotta get to the paper.
I'm gonna drop Buddy off at the day care and, um, probably be back around 3:00.
Why don't you let him stay here with me?
Oh, you don't wanna babysit. What are you talkin' about?
Buddy, you wanna go see your friends at the center, right?
Oh, come on. We wanna stay here, Mom.
Yeah. We wanna stay here.
Oh, we do? Please?
And do what? Man stuff.
Yeah! Man stuff. How are you gonna do that with your ankle?
Oh, come on. Be good for all of us.
Please, Mom? We'll be fine. I promise.
Please? All right.
I got his lunch box right over there. I'm gonna go get his car seat. Here.
Okay. You take that.
Will you pick me up some cream of tartar? I need that for my biscuits.
Some what? Cream of tartar.
All right.
You play cards?
Yeah. Yeah? What do you play?
Just regulars, like crazy eights and, um- Hey.
What? You know what we oughta do?
We oughta see if we can go out and find some trouble to get into.
Huh? Yeah, big trouble.
Be kind of fun. What you got in your box?
Here you go! Whoo-hoo! Ha-ha!
There he goes! Whoo!
Put your head back. I got you!
I got you!
Hey, hey, hey. Now, be careful up there.
Don't fall down.
Hey, Bud.
I brought you somethin'.
Bud?
Buddy?
Oh, my God.
You scared me! What time is it?
We had fun. Nobody died. Come here.
You taste like chocolate. Look what I brought you.
You can be my roadie and my- my groupie all rolled into one.
Set those down there. Here.
Whoo! Look at that paint job, huh?
That's rust. Metal-flake rust.
I want y'all to come to Houston.
Would you do that? Huh? Throw those in there.
I'm gonna be there for four months.
Nights only, so I got my days off.
Well, I took some time off for your visit, so I don't know if I can do it again.
You can take Buddy down there. All kinds of great stuff to do in Houston.
All right. We'll see. They got that aquarium with a big fountain down there.
All right, we'll see.
"We'll see." That means no.
No, that means we'll see.
All right?
Lot of good stuff to write about in Houston.
You know, me.
Well, that's more than a visit.
A lot of other good stuff too. Jesus.
I don't wanna hear it, darlin'.
Well, I don't want it around Buddy. That much I know.
I heard you the first time. It's like livin' with a rattlesnake.
Geez.
Wait.
I can't even see you.
Your body aches
From playing your guitar and sweatin' out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same
Your body aches
From playing your guitar and sweatin' out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same
Okay? Then I'm gonna teach you a few words of English.
Okay, here.
Hey, hey! Hey.
What are you doin' here? I've been lookin' for you.
Yeah. Hey! Jesus, Bad.
Hey, you look like shit, man. Oh, ho! Yeah.
I know. It's on account of all the toilets I have to play in.
Yeah?
Oh! Yeah. Good to see you.
Oh! Sorry about the wreck. Heard about that. Sorry.
Could've been worse. Yeah?
How's business?
Business? Oh, ho! Business.
What business? Eh, since you've been on the road,
I tell ya. It's, uh- It's crap.
Yeah, well, if you'd clean this joint,
maybe you'd figure out how to get this business runnin'.
Well, if I ever cleaned it up, I might find out that we're both broke, you know?
I had to get rid of my bartender. It's just me and old Jesus here. That's it.
Shit. Yeah. Just us. So, how's the road?
Oh, well, it ain't gettin' any shorter. Makes comin' back here look good.
I have a feelin', uh, knowing you, something happened out there special.
Yeah.
I met this, uh- I met this woman in Santa Fe.
Yeah? Doesn't surprise me.
Ooh! She's a good one. Yeah?
Real good. Want some more? No, you don't get any more, no.
That's it. Oh, you son of a bitch.
879 miles.
That's kind of a tough trip for a man who has to work Saturday nights, right?
Yeah. Yeah, but worth it.
Yeah, well, we'll get you back in shape singin'.
I want you to meet somebody. Where you at, Jesus? Come here.
I want you to meet a legend. Big Bad here. Hi there.
What's your name? Juan.
Yeah, Juan. Juan?
Jesus- Whatever. You know, he's a good man.
The days and the nights all feel the same
Hello?
Uh, hi. Uh, is this Steven Reynolds?
Yeah, this is he. Who's calling?
Uh- Uh- Well, actually,
I'm on a bit of a hunting trip here, buddy.
I'm trying to track down a Mary Jo Reynolds.
She lived in, uh, Nashville from 1980 to 1985.
She was born in Lima, Ohio.
You wouldn't be related by any chance, would you?
She was my mother.
Hey, buddy, I can't hear you.
Who-Who is this?
Your father. Who?
I'm Bad Blake, uh, here in Houston.
I'm your father.
How are ya? What do you want?
I'm kind of shocked hearin' your voice.
You said "was."
Mary Jo's dead? Two years come this October.
What happened? Everything.
I'm sorry, Steven. Yeah, well, listen. What do you want?
I wanna see you.
I don't think so.
Well, will you- Will you think about it?
I'm sorry, sir. I probably won't be able to help you.
You know, take down my number so-
I got your number.
Uh-huh. Well-
You know, sleep on it, think about it, and, uh-
Really would like to talk.
Imagine that.
I made the cars go real fast.
Real fast! Then the Jeep went around the corner,
and it went boom! Oh, you got the cars, huh?
I can make them go faster than anybody! Then they crash!
What he's trying to say is thank you.
But, you know, you've gotta stop.
You gotta stop sending him things. He thinks you're Santa Claus.
I do think he's Santa Claus.
Well, I just- I wanted him to know I'm thinkin' about him, darlin'.
You thinkin' about me? Yes, I am.
You all right? Called my son last night, Jeannie.
And?
Well, he wouldn't talk to me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't blame him.
Jeannie.
I'm not feelin' well. I'm gonna have to call you back.
Bad!
Big Bad, where you at, boy?
Lord, not again.
Hey!
We're goin' fishin', all right?
Let's go. You forget? Let's go. Come on. Get dressed.
I'm waitin' on ya.
Toss me another one of those barley pops, would ya?
Okay. Yeah.
Here you go.
I hate to admit it, but this is a damn good idea.
I just sent what might be my best song ever to Tommy.
What, to record? Yeah.
It's one of those you hate to give up. Why'd you do it?
Oh, he's payin' me awful good.
He's in L.A. now recordin' it.
Well, I hope he don't fuck it up.
Oh, he can't fuck it up. It's that good.
So, your boy- Your boy don't wanna talk to you?
No.
I don't blame him. I was wrong. I had no right to call him.
Wait. Hold on. You was wrong 25 years ago and you've been wrong since.
But you called him. Now you're not wrong. You're right. He's wrong.
Wayne, I went 24 years without tryin' to find him.
He's right. Too little, too late. No.
Never too late, son. Never too late.
You called, and it's done. All right? It's complete.
Now, you're on the right track.
You just-just keep goin', 'cause he's your son. Right?
Well, he's all I got. Well, you keep after him.
Do what you gotta do.
It's like, you know, you reminded me.
That song by Billy Joe Shaver.
I'm gonna live forever. I'm gonna cross that river when I catch tomorrow now.
Oh, yeah. Goes somethin' like-
Nobody here will ever find me
I'll always be around
Just like the songs I leave behind me
- I'm gonna live forever now - Listen to this now.
You fathers and you mothers Be good to one another
Please try to raise your children right
Don't let the darkness take 'em
Don't make 'em feel forsaken
Just lead 'em safely to the light
Hello? Hi.
Hey! You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine. Why? - You didn't sound like you were all right yesterday.
You sounded like you were dying a slow death.
Oh. Think it must've- I don't know- been food poisoning or something.
Well, I'm calling because I got four days off at the end of this month,
and I thought we might come.
Oh. But I'm not sure it'd be such a good idea.
What are you talking about? It's a great idea. Why would you say that?
You sure you're okay?
I'm worried about you.
Don't waste a minute worrying about me.
There's nothin' wrong that a visit wouldn't cure. How's Buddy boy doin'?
He's fine.
So, you gonna come?
Can you reach it?
Hey, there. Oh, you got your car! Go through the tunnel there.
Well, I think he's had it.
You all right, Bud? He's eatin'- He's eatin' in his sleep.
What do you think of these big buildings, huh, Bud?
I bet Superman couldn't even leap over these things.
Right here in this town...
is where Sam Houston and his boys beat Santa Ana and his Mexicans.
Wasn't for this spot,
we'd all be speakin' Mexican.
That's where Texas got its star, right there. You speak any Mexican, Bud?
Hey, that's pretty good.
Wow, Bud. Where's that big turtle?
What do you see there? Where'd he go?
I think there's a lobster that was in here.
You gettin' tired? Oh.
He's got so much energy, he wears me out sometimes.
Why don't you go back to that park? Take a load off.
Let Bud and I fool around, and we'll come back around noon and take you out to lunch.
All right.
Okay. You get your wish in your head?
Huh? Here's the spot.
Here.
Pick one. Pick some. You can have a bunch.
There you go. That's good.
Here's mine.
Come on. Go! That's it.
Hey.
Bud? You wanna go inside where it's cool?
Huh? Let's do that.
Come on.
Giddap!
Hey, sailor, what say we go in this place right here...
and wet our whistle before it pop out of the ground, huh?
Out of the ground? Like that guy on TV?
What guy? On TV.
Yeah, that guy. Come on.
- Hi there. - How are you guys doin' today?
All right. Take a load off there, Bud.
I'll take a McClure's if you got it. Yeah.
Yeah, make that a double. Ginger ale for my pal here.
Make that a double too. Like mine rocks, please.
How about you? Rocks.
Well, lookee here. Look at this.
Hey, you wanna go explore? You can.
Oh, what'd you get? Huh?
Wow! Bud, you're gettin' all kinds of good stuff.
All right, amigo. How about, uh, 12.50 altogether.
12.50? Jesus!
Oh.
Does this music drive you crazy?
You know, if I heard it, it probably would.
All right, Bud. Come on. Get your ginger ale.
Buddy?
He's probably in the restroom.
Buddy!
Come on, Bud.
Buddy?
Bud?
- Did he come back out here? - No.
Buddy!
What the hell?
You see- You see a little boy come in here?
Bud?
Oh, no.
Owl
Uh, I lost my little boy.
Okay. He's got brown hair.
Four years old. His name's Buddy. Buddy.
What was he wearing?
I don't- I don't remember. Okay.
Well, sir, where did you last see him?
Uh, a bar, uh- A bar.
Which-Which bar, sir? Oh, hell, I don't know.
It was a little dark bar. Okay.
All stations, we got a lost boy. Four years old.
Brown hair. Name's Buddy.
Report back, please.
Thank you. Okay. Sir, why don't you stay here with me, okay?
No, I gotta go find him. He's lost. He's from New Mexico.
I'm supposed to meet his mother. I understand that.
We're gonna find him. But I need you to stay here.
All our guys are out looking for him. All right, sir?
Sir, how much have you had to drink today?
I had a drink. A drink?
What goddamn difference does that make?
Well, you lost him, sir. Yeah, I lost him. I'm gonna go find him.
Bud!
You seen a little boy?
What's going on? No, they're gonna find him, hon.
Where's Buddy? They got all these guys lookin' for him.
What? No need to worry.
No- Guys are looking for him?
I stopped just for a second- You stopped to get a drink?
Please don't touch me. Please don't touch me. Excuse me.
Hi. I'm the mama of the boy who's been lost. Jean.
Jean, Jean- I asked you not to touch me!
- Here you go, son. - Bud. Oh!
There's my Buddy boy. Come here, you.
You're gonna be fine. There's my Buddy boy.
Everything's gonna be fine. Shut up.
We just got our wires crossed.
Jeannie, you can't go now. You don't even have a ticket. Come on.
God, I should've listened to my instincts. Every fuckin'-
Every single bone in my body told me not to get on that plane.
- It's gonna be okay, Jeannie. Just- - No. Everything is not okay.
He's four years old. He's scared half to death.
You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt that boy.
Well, you did do something to hurt him! You and every other man in my life.
Just nothing but self-involved assholes. Come on now.
Just calm down. Oh!
Let me- Now his backpack-
Jeannie. Can't we talk about it?
No, don't you touch me! It's too fuckin' hard! Stop!
Let me drive you to the airport. Come on. I can do that. Sorry, Bud.
Let me drive you at least.
Let me take that for you. Thank you.
All right. You start to get your seat belt on.
Jean.
Jeannie!
Hello? Wayne?
Bad? I wanna get sober.
With that experience, I realized that I had hit rock bottom.
So... here I am.
I'm Bad.
I'm an alcoholic. Hi, Bad.
Couple of days ago,
I lost a little boy.
I was drunk.
Been drunk most of my life.
Lost a hell of a lot.
The other day, I heard you were an entertainer.
I am.
I'm glad you're here. We all know what a hard step it is.
Whoo! Hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey! Aha!
Look who's here! Look who's here! Hee-hee!
Hey, good to see ya! Good to see ya, hoss.
Man! Oh! Good to see ya!
How do you feel? I'm feelin' great.
Really? Oh, man.
Take it from somebody who's been there.
It don't last necessarily. Oh?
Now, it's gonna get rough, and you're gonna feel worthless maybe- maybe.
But I'm gonna help you with it. Understand? Appreciate you comin'.
Don't worry, old buddy. I'm gonna help you. Let me put this in there.
Yeah. Yeah, well, I think I got this thing... licked.
Well, let's hope so. Feelin' better. All right.
One day at a time. All right? Yeah, I heard that.
One day at a time. Get your butt in the truck.
Let's go. Good to see ya, man. Yeah, hey!
Well, it rained
Last night
And the stars
Shone bright
And way off yonder
We heard the whippoorwill
At the first light of dawn
We heard that he was gone
Our hearts was empty
And our eyes was filled
Open the gates
Welcome him in
'Cause there's a brand-new angel
There's a brand-new angel
Who doesn't know about me
Thank you.
Thanks for comin' out.
It's so good to be home.
Jean?
What are you doin' here?
Just listen to me.
I'm sorry.
With all my heart, I'm sorry.
I'm sober.
Detox, Antabuse- the whole bit.
It woke me up.
That's good, Bad.
Mmm, no, not Bad. I'm goin' back to Otis- my given name.
No more Bad.
I'm changing everything.
That's good.
How's Buddy doin'?
He's sleeping.
He's all right.
Can you ever forgive me?
God, I knew what- I knew what the risks were with you.
And I took 'em,
because-
'cause I love you, and-
Puttin' Buddy in your hands-
I don't know that I'll ever be able to get over that.
Well, I'm different now. You know? I am too.
Let me show you. You're not listening to me.
We can start over, Jean. Listen to me. I am so-
I'm truly happy for you.
I hope you make a really nice life for yourself.
But Buddy and I can't be a part of it.
But I love both of you so much.
If that's true, you'll leave us alone, all right?
Oh, come on, Jean. Now don't say that.
Jean? Jean?
Jean!
Jeannie?
This ain't no place
For the weary kind
This ain't no place
To lose your mind
This ain't no place
To fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart
Give it one more try
One more try
Tommy!
Tommy! Tommy! Tommy!
Tommy! Tommy! Tommy! Tommy!
Y'all ready for another song?
How y'all holdin' up?
Good.
This song was, uh, written by a mentor-
well, more a friend.
And, uh, well,
it kinda speaks for itself.
Sure do hope you all like it.
Your heart's on the loose
You rolled them sevens with nothing to lose
This ain't no place for the weary kind
You called all your shots
Shootin' eight ball at the corner truck stop
Somehow this don't feel like home anymore
That's one hell of a song.
- Which reminds me- - This ain't no place for the weary kind
They're gettin' bigger by the day, kid. Yeah, I'll say.
See you later, Jack.
Hey, Bad. That was a great show. And you're doin' real good.
Well- Keep it up. I'm proud of you.
Little gas left in the tank, huh? See you now.
This ain't no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart
And give it one more try
Mr. Blake.
Ehh-
You were in vintage form today.
Vintage. That's about right.
Heard you might be here.
You're not working for the Sun anymore. Oh, what's this? Ooh!
Guess you can't hold back a good woman from Enid, Oklahoma.
He's a good guy.
Hmm. Yeah, well, you deserve one.
You wanna see Buddy? He's here.
No.
I'd love to, but...
I don't know if it's-
best thing for him.
Hey, would you give this to him on his 18th birthday for me?
What is this? Well-
No, Bad. I don't want this.
Hey. I don't want this.
No. Come on now. Hey. I- I don't-
There wouldn't be this song if it wasn't for you.
That- That's not money.
That's awfully kind of you.
Glad to hear you're doin' so well.
Mmm, well, one day at a time.
So you'll give me an interview?
I sure will.
I'd say let's do it in the bus, but look.
It's so much prettier out here, isn't it? It is.
It is amazing out here. God, look at that.
So, you been all right, I guess, huh?
I've been all right. Yeah, me too.
Your body aches
From playin' your guitar
And sweatin' out the hate
The days and the nights
All feel the same
The whiskey has been
A thorn in your side
That doesn't forgive
The highway that calls
For your heart inside
And this ain't no place for the weary kind
This ain't no place to lose your mind
This ain't no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try
Your lover's warm kiss
Is too damn far from your fingertips
You are the man that ruined the world
Your heart's on the loose
You rolled them sevens with nothing to lose
This ain't no place for the weary kind
I've been loved and I've been alone
All my life I've been a rollin' stone
Done everything that a man can do
Everything but get a hold on you
I've done everything that a man can do
Everything but get a hold on you
I been blessed and I been cursed
All my lies have been unrehearsed
Of all the fire that I walked through
Only trying to get a hold on you
Of all the fire that I walked through
Only trying to get a hold on you
I saw you waitin' at the gate
But I arrived a moment late
I saw you shed a single tear
Still I can't get clear from here
' been high and I been low
I been people that I don't know
Been to China and ol' Peru
Only trying to get a hold on you
I been to China and to Peru
I'm only trying to get a hold on you
Only trying to get a hold on you
Nobody here will ever find me
I'll always be around
Just like the songs I leave behind me
I'm gonna live forever now
You fathers and you mothers be good to one another
Please try to raise your children right
Don't let the darkness take 'em
Don't make 'em feel forsaken
Just lead 'em safely to the light
And when this old world is blown asunder
And all the stars fall from the sky
Just remember someone really loves you
We'll live together forever
Both you and I
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna live forever now
