not musicians.Someday I'm gonna have my ownfleet of buses.Go to sleep.he meantime

After a show, I could neverturn my head off.I kept seeing myself up there,onstage, singing.

I wanted it so badly.When you want something likethat, you can't let go 'tilyou get where you're going.

That was one of my GrandmaTeeden's sayings.She always popped up whenI needed her.

(laughing)

I got you!(screams and laughter)No fair, Grandma Teeden!You come around the side.

Well, you're too fast for me.I had to be a little sneaky.Ah, look what I got, Granny!A nice, tender morsel.

Should we put gravy on herand just gobble her up?No, Grandpa,then I wouldn't be here anymore.

Oh, yes, baby, you'llbe here.Once you're in the heartyou're always there.

Come on.

Grandpa Luther was a cobbler,but when the shop was closedhe got laid off.He stood on that unemployment

line for weeks until finallyit ran out.Made me sad to see it,but Grandpa and Grandma

wouldn't have no sadness.They made those summers I spentwith them the happiest of mylife.

Grandma Teeden believedwhatever you do in your lifeyou do it right.You shaved yet?

I ain't even out of bed.It's 5:30 AM, woman.I'm putting up buns,getting the milk, you get

yourself down here.Your shirt's all pressed.

She believed a man gets upand gets dressed and looksfor work, whether there is anyor not.

Where's my shirt?On the chair.If it was a snake it'd bit ya.

You are something else,Theresa, going through thisfoolery every day.Well, I won't have the

neighbors thinking just 'causeyou was laid off you lie aroundin bed all day in yournightclothes.

Okay.Just sit right there.Right here, where everyonecan see you.

Right here-- sit down.Grandpa was a good sport.That's right.Well, he made a fuss,

but in the end if it madeGrandma Teeden happy he'd siton the porch all day in hissuit and tie and wave at

the neighbors.

I called her Grandma Teeden'cause when I was littled sitI couldn't say her name.hisSo she just stayed Grandma

Teeden.She sat in the same seatthree times a week, rain orshine, 'cause it was near the

piano and she wanted meclose to the music.There's someone sittingin your seat.

No one else dared sitin Grandma Teeden's seat.

(clearing throat)Young man, the Lord spoketo me not minutes ago, and Hetold me, "Theresa, this little

girl needs to sitnear the piano."And-- And then He told me,"You go over there and you

explain to him how importantit is for him to move."

when you feel far away.Grandma, what if you getso far away God can't find you?Oh, no, baby, He can always

find you.When you start feeling that wayyou just say to yourself,"Who moved, me or God?"

I moved.That's right.God never moves.We're the ones.

You mentioned her.I did?When?At the Opry.

Oh.She's not doing too good.She's in the hospital.She gonna be all right?

You mentioned her.I Well, she always rallies andWheshe's real strong, but...At theI really don't know.

How old is she?About 60 or 70, I guess.That's a big spread, honey.How am I supposed to know?

I couldn't believe whatI was doing here with thiscrazy woman in an alleymiles from anywhere.

I wanted out.Where are you going?That's our ride.

Get in.

Hi.LeAnn, this is Carl,my husband.

Well, you're...(chuckling)Wait a minute, he was the guy--Things ain't always

what they seem, are they?

Well, get in, girl.I don't know why I got in.I just did.That was the thing about her.

She made you think thecraziest thing was normal.

Then I started seeing headlines:"Singer Kidnapped By Maniacs".

Seems like we were drivingforever.It started getting dark andI started getting real worried.

Where are we going?

Oh.We're going to where you hadthe bus accident?Is there anything there?

All right,it's right about here.Get out, this is it.Are we going to see the bus?

Where are you taking me?

What do you think, honey?Ain't it a dandy?

It's got a steel framecovered in weatherproof plastic.You can almost see through it.What's the word?

Translucent.Yeah.And the insides is filled with12-volt bulbs, like car

Memory.

I got one more storyto tell you.

I had a visitor that yearwhen I was in Nashville:my dad.He had ridden the bus all the

way from Conway, Arkansas,where I was raised.

He had written me three letterssaying he'd be at my housefor Christmas, but I didn'tanswer one of 'em.

Why not?

Well, honey...my daddy and me hadn't spokenfor nigh on 25 years.But--

Back when I left home,nice girls didn't go intoshow business.Least not where I come from.

♪ I need thee ♪♪ Oh, I need thee ♪♪ Every... ♪I was always singing.

I guess everybody sungback then, but I wanted to singcountry...at the Grand Ole Opry.

If you'd open your Bibleswith me please to the bookof Isaiah.

As soon as I graduatedhigh school, I bought a busticket out of town.(voices arguing, muffled)

Listen, I can't give hermy blessing.Listen to me, you step outof this house, and you have

no daddy!I mean it, girl!You have no daddy.You'll never see her again.

Daddy kept his word.

The only time he contacted mewas to tell me my mama had died.

I got his letter the dayafter the funeral.

When I had them hit records andeverybody started to know meall of a sudden people I hadn'theard from in years

was related to me.That's when I got them lettersfrom Daddy telling mehe was coming to see me.

You know what I thoughthe wanted?I thought he was coming toask me for money.

That's what everybody elsewanted.You'll find that out.But you didn't...

That's right.I couldn't let go of my hurt,my pride.

That's what everybody elseI didn't see my own daddywhen he came to town...for Christmas....

I was still so angry,I didn't ever want to see himagain.

I left him a noteand went off to do my show.

In two hours I knew I'd beon that bus and out of town.Then I discovered I didn'thave my insulin.

It must be in there.It's not.My whole purse is missingand my medicine.

Maybe-- Maybe we put it inwith the music.My shot was way past due.

If the cold didn't kill me,I knew for sure the diabeticcoma would.rse is missingWhat's wrong, honey?

Nobody could've heard mecrying except a mouse.I, um, I-- it's okay.Uh, you wouldn't understand.

Maybe I would.Never can tell.Or a blind person.

That disease took my sight.

I'll be danged if I let ittake my life.

It ain't gonna take yoursneither, honey,'cause I got enough insulinin here for both of us.

We're in here!Let us out!All right.Hey, guys, come on in.

Hey, come on, everybody,let's go.Wake up.Wake up, they're coming for us.

Come on.Wake up.Come on, come on,you need your medicine.

Truth was he didn't haveno more insulin in that box.

He gave me the last...to save my life.

The man died in the night.I didn't even know he was dead.(sniffling)That man who saved my life

was left inside that bus,alone in the cold and dark.Those people who came withininches of dying themselves

didn't want to ride witha dead person.

We left him.All alone.

The men had to come back laterwith a wagon and get him.

That's why you and Carlbuilt the cross.

A few weeks later, I wasgetting ready to go on stage.I'll be right there.They returned your stuff

from that bus ride.

Oh, that's not mine--We've got five minutes,everyone.

(sniffling)

The blind man was my daddy.

When I didn't see him inNashville he got on the busback to Conway.

Why didn't you recognize him?I mean--I hadn't seen him in over20 years and he looked

so different.He had all that white hairand a hat and I didn't knowhe had gone blind.

He probably didn't even knowI was on the bus 'til heheard my voice.Maybe he thought you all

would be rescued beforehe had to take his own shot.No.He knew giving me his last dose

could kill him.

He just did it anyway.He gave his life for meand I refused to see him.

I can't take back nothingI did in my life.I ain't got no family no more,but if I did,

they'd come first.First before money, career,success, fame.

You see, honey, you're gonna getwhere you're going.

The question is...who's gonna be there with you?

Well, we had us a good time.Thanks for coming with me.Will I ever see you again?I'll see you around.
