00:00:13
king of course to my parents because parents from the 50s,
00:00:17
they all loved Elvis and my dad was, you know, Mel this one to
00:00:20
be in high school. So I grew up with all this
00:00:23
around of time. I was a kid and you all the
00:00:25
songs, whatever this moves, the lip curl and whatnot.
00:00:30
So I'm watching it and I'm excited to see that they focus
00:00:35
around his early life. When he was touring with a guy
00:00:39
named Jimmy Rogers, snow and RCA recording artist and the son of
00:00:43
Hanks, know Hank Snow was probably the biggest act in the
00:00:47
50s. As far as country music goes
00:00:49
internationally, the big deal so they portray him and I'm
00:00:54
thinking I wonder what happened to Jimmy because in the 90s I
00:00:58
lived in Nashville for a short time, And through my work, I ran
00:01:02
into Jimmie Rodgers snow and he end up allowing me main.
00:01:06
I've been every Friday night but a lot of Friday nights for a
00:01:09
year. He had let me be in the Green
00:01:12
Room at the Grand Ole Opry and sit on the stage and meet these
00:01:16
old-time singers operate. So I met Hank Snow several times
00:01:20
but I got to hear stories from Jimmie Rodgers snow who was
00:01:26
great friends with Elvis as Fact Elvis's manager, the infamous
00:01:33
Colonel Parker has portrayed in this movie used to be Jimmie
00:01:36
Rodgers. Snows.
00:01:37
Manager. And his dad Hank and the colonel
00:01:44
colonel. Parker we're supposed to manage
00:01:48
Elvis but then the colonel snickered snookered out of well,
00:01:54
God Hank Snow. She took them out of the deal.
00:01:55
So I'm trying to say and became exclusively.
00:01:58
I was his manager for A life. Anyhow, Jimmie, Rodgers.
00:02:03
Snow has an amazing story. I'm calling from Presley to
00:02:08
purpose and his life is amazing, more amazing than Elvis Presley,
00:02:13
in my opinion. And they're going to have to
00:02:14
make a movie on this guy. I loved his stories back then,
00:02:18
when I saw him in the movie, portrayed in the movie, I
00:02:21
checked up on social media to see, you know what, he's doing,
00:02:24
whatever, whatever I find him, we hook up calls me at work.
00:02:30
He for about an hour, just starts telling these stories,
00:02:33
again, being friends with Elvis and how, though the contract
00:02:36
with down, for Elvis and his life.
00:02:38
And he was Johnny, he knew Johnny Cash and it's this guy's
00:02:45
life is amazing. So anyways, I said, how about
00:02:49
can you call back? And let me record some of this
00:02:52
if nothing else for posterity steak, and I have, I talked to
00:02:55
him for about three hours. I've got at least a couple hours
00:02:59
of him. Telling these amazing stories of
00:03:01
Amazing Life. He's 86 years old now and I want
00:03:04
to share some of these. And before I get to the Presley
00:03:07
with purpose, I want you to hear a couple just of these kind of
00:03:10
random things to hear what it's like listening to this guy's
00:03:16
life. So here's a quick one.
00:03:19
Just a few minutes long and Jimmy talking about what it was
00:03:23
like being friends with Elvis in the early days and what Elvis
00:03:27
was like Elvis was a very very Interesting Man.
00:03:32
I never heard him. Use a bad word.
00:03:35
Now I can't speak for after January of 1958 because I never
00:03:40
saw him anymore after that, just got Christmas cards.
00:03:44
But up till that time he was a perfect gentleman.
00:03:47
Everybody liked him, everybody on the tour's, liked him.
00:03:51
He never used bad language. He was a very now.
00:03:56
I did all of that. I drank I cost you name it.
00:04:00
I did it. All.
00:04:01
And one of the reasons why I rode with him and he never put
00:04:04
me down, you never said anything negative about me.
00:04:08
He, he was liked by all the people that we worked with
00:04:12
everybody. So I never saw anything out of
00:04:15
the way. Now he liked the girls, that was
00:04:18
for sure he was single and most of us in that day did follow
00:04:22
that kind of pattern. And later on, I heard about the
00:04:28
drugs, I heard about his language.
00:04:29
I heard about things, They are portraying him in that movie as
00:04:33
far as I can understand. I did not bring the record in
00:04:38
and show it to Parker and to my father and say, hey, you guys
00:04:42
need to hear this guy and all that, none of, that only thing I
00:04:46
did was take the letter of intent.
00:04:48
So much was missing. And like I said, I haven't seen
00:04:52
the movie. A moment.
00:04:53
Go only going by what I'm hearing, but none of that
00:04:56
happened. And we were just good friends.
00:04:59
And so when he'd come over, Were to Nashville in those early
00:05:03
years and to meet with Dad, or to talk with Parker, or to pick
00:05:08
up things or to drop off things, whatever he'd have to come over,
00:05:12
you know, two or three times a year Parker, you know, pretty
00:05:15
much demand that that kind of attention.
00:05:19
And we all gave them that and I would be kind of a go-between.
00:05:22
Can my what I mean by that is if Dad needed something to be sent
00:05:27
over to Parker. I drive it over on my
00:05:30
motorcycle. At that time, I had a
00:05:32
motorcycle. And if I had to bring something
00:05:35
back, I go over and get it, bring it back.
00:05:38
So then Elvis would give me a jingle.
00:05:41
He say, well let's run around a little bit.
00:05:43
I'm going to be here for a few hours and so we come over the
00:05:46
house, we go back on the barn and throw knives or throw them
00:05:50
at a tree or, you know, shoot guns or, or get on our Maya, two
00:05:55
motorcycles, get on the motorcycles, and we go riding
00:05:59
and we'd go different places. You know, we'd go over maybe
00:06:04
places the hamburger joint or something like that.
00:06:06
If the people in my area had known, who I was bringing in
00:06:11
there, they would probably have pictures all over the walls
00:06:16
today, but he wasn't known, you know, in those early years and I
00:06:21
would say he was a very likeable person before we move on to
00:06:24
hearing, Jimmy talk about from Presley to purpose.
00:06:27
I've got to just play this other random clip of him.
00:06:31
I'm talking about how he crossed paths in life with Jack, Ruby.
00:06:38
Jack Ruby is the one who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, who of
00:06:42
course, killed the President John F, Kennedy, we're living in
00:06:47
Dallas and how we wind up in Dallas is Dad wound up losing
00:06:51
all his money in Hollywood trying to further his career,
00:06:55
didn't become a Hollywood actor or anything like that.
00:06:59
And so he winds up coming to Dallas Texas.
00:07:03
Because there was a radio station there, that was playing
00:07:06
one of his records. That was really getting a lot of
00:07:09
attention, a song called brand on my heart, which by the way,
00:07:14
Elvis could sing, he memorized it and it got him a little
00:07:20
attention in the United States. So, he winds up here in the
00:07:24
United States now in Dallas, when he sends for mother and I,
00:07:29
so we cross the border. In 1948 and move to Dallas,
00:07:35
Texas. Dad becomes a guest on Big D
00:07:39
Jamboree that's the one I wanted to remember I couldn't remember
00:07:43
it the one in Wheeling the wheelie Jamboree I think is what
00:07:47
it was called. Big D.
00:07:48
Jamboree Elvis work that by the way.
00:07:51
Big D. Jamboree I've got a poster with
00:07:53
his name on it from Big D now, Deadwood guest on it once in a
00:07:57
while. And how did he met Earnest Tubb
00:08:01
Who's pre-roll was likewise Jimmie Rodgers so they
00:08:06
correspond it through the years, never met one another never
00:08:10
worked with one another but they would write to one.
00:08:13
Another Ernest was a super nice guy.
00:08:16
He's a guest at Big D. Jamboree.
00:08:19
So my dad immediately goes to that show.
00:08:22
He wasn't on, but he was a. He wanted to meet him so
00:08:25
backstage, they talk. They talk.
00:08:27
They talk. And Earnest says, I think I can
00:08:30
get you a try. Out on the Grand Ole Opry, would
00:08:32
you be interested? Well, that was the mecca for
00:08:36
country music singers, right? My dad said, are you kidding?
00:08:40
You bet I would do that. This was in 1948, but while we
00:08:44
were there in Dallas, this is interesting while we're in
00:08:49
Dallas. Now, my father's working to
00:08:52
nightclubs because this is the only way he could make a living.
00:08:56
They didn't want him for his singing, because he wasn't all
00:08:59
that popular as far. As the nightclubs were concerned
00:09:02
there, but his horse did all these tricks.
00:09:06
So they would literally bring the horse into the nightclub a
00:09:10
couple of nights a week and he was working between two
00:09:13
different nightclubs downtown Dallas.
00:09:16
I used to go in the nightclub during the day and lay the straw
00:09:20
down on the, on the dance floor in order for the horse when you
00:09:25
do his series of tricks at night, when Dad would be
00:09:30
guessing, There they wanted the horse more than they wanted to
00:09:33
sing in, but he would sing some the horse would kneel down, lay
00:09:38
down all of these different things.
00:09:39
So that was the purpose of the strong.
00:09:42
I'd lay it down. And so I got to meet some of the
00:09:45
people in there because there were no, there was no drinking
00:09:48
going on during the daytime when this would happened.
00:09:51
So I've you'll be okay for me to go in there.
00:09:53
I was like, helping lay down the straw little.
00:09:57
Did I realize that years later when I Would be involved in
00:10:02
Ministry preaching that I would be watching the the death of
00:10:07
John F. Kennedy.
00:10:09
And then ultimately a week later, or two weeks later, the
00:10:13
death of the guy that assassinated him Oswald and I
00:10:16
see this guy run up, stick this gun in the stomach of Oswald and
00:10:21
pulled the trigger. And I'm looking at him, he I see
00:10:25
his profile and I turn to the pastor of the church while I'm
00:10:30
drinking a coffee. Walk in the news.
00:10:32
And I said, I know that guy and he said well, who is it?
00:10:37
I said it's name is Jack Ruby and I said, we used to lay straw
00:10:42
on the floor in his nightclub and he would talk to me and kid
00:10:46
with me every time we go in there, what a small world.
00:10:51
Now you're getting an idea of why I've appreciated over the
00:10:54
years hearing stories from Jimmie Rodgers snow and hearing
00:11:00
how things really Happened. You know, even like how the
00:11:03
movie portrayed things about Elvis?
00:11:05
That weren't exactly right. Like, his dad Hank Snow in the
00:11:09
movie shows that he didn't really care for Elvis wanted to
00:11:13
fire him. That's not true.
00:11:14
He liked Elvis. He was going to manage Elvis and
00:11:20
the deal went down totally different than the movie
00:11:22
portrayed. But I got to hear all that kind
00:11:23
of stuff and I'm glad you're getting to hear some of it too.
00:11:26
Now here's an amazing story that took a man young man.
00:11:31
He's only in his early 20s friends, with Elvis, has his own
00:11:34
recording contract, his dad's a living legend, his career, and
00:11:38
life is going nothing but up. And he has a Divine encounter,
00:11:45
so then we wind up moving to Nashville.
00:11:48
Dad bombs on the first few weeks that he's there.
00:11:52
As a singer on the Grand Ole Opry.
00:11:54
He's not doing very well, they're deciding in two weeks or
00:11:59
three weeks. They're going to have to let him
00:12:01
go. Well, he's offered an upset but
00:12:04
he has a brand new record. Getting ready to come out
00:12:08
called? I'm moving on.
00:12:10
Changed everything for all of us open the door.
00:12:15
Well now, he becomes a number one, country singer overnight.
00:12:19
As the result of that, I had always felt.
00:12:23
During those early years that you asked me about that, there
00:12:26
was something different going on in my life, I just wasn't as
00:12:30
happy as he was. I didn't have the drive towards
00:12:34
becoming a country singer like he had even though I was on a
00:12:38
major label singing. For thousands of people working
00:12:43
shows with all these big stars. I saw, the I saw what was going
00:12:48
on in my life and I wasn't really all that happy.
00:12:52
Unfortunately, I started drinking too, so I started
00:12:57
taking my first drink at 15, Believe It or Not, by the time I
00:13:02
reach 22 years of age. I was pretty much an alcoholic
00:13:05
at that age, single and and my life in a mess.
00:13:10
A very bad car wreck in 56. Nearly got killed, nearly lost.
00:13:14
My leg is a matter of fact, still suffering today from it.
00:13:18
The guy was doing 105 miles an hour running from the cops with
00:13:21
a stolen car. When he hit me, I was on my way
00:13:24
to a drive-in movie. I had spent all my money that
00:13:27
week and I was, you know, drinking a little bit but I
00:13:30
wasn't drunk. Yeah, he wanted me to read the
00:13:36
script while I was there. And it was, and I'm almost
00:13:41
positive. That was the title of the movie
00:13:42
King Creole because it was, I think one of his best.
00:13:47
So he said, hey, why don't you read this?
00:13:48
See what you think of it, we're getting ready to film this and
00:13:54
I'd we little bit every morning, when we'd come in after being
00:13:57
out all night, and come to the end of it.
00:14:01
When my time there was over and I knew I was going to have to go
00:14:05
home when I got to the end of it, he said, Me.
00:14:09
So what do you think of that script?
00:14:10
I said, I think that thing is great.
00:14:12
Probably going to be one of your best movies and course, I was a
00:14:15
movie buff and I saw, you know, his films has the ones he'd
00:14:21
already done had done that, love me, tender and and Jailhouse,
00:14:25
Rock and so forth and I believe this one was either his third or
00:14:28
fourth and we went and saw them while I was there too.
00:14:32
By the way, which would have been a second time for me, said,
00:14:36
hey, why don't you want to come out and go out?
00:14:38
They're with us and you know he was that way with his friends
00:14:41
here at the whole movie theater for just a bunch of us but he
00:14:45
wanted me to see it, you know? And of course I said sure.
00:14:49
You know, I'd love to go with it.
00:14:51
We watch other movies, too. And so, we were sitting there
00:14:54
and watching those movies. We regret the rollerskating rink
00:14:58
all night and we roller skate and 15 of us, maybe 12, maybe
00:15:04
20. I don't remember exactly how
00:15:06
many, but most of them had hung with him all the time.
00:15:08
I'm and so, then when I'm ready to leave, I had been dealt with,
00:15:14
by God and how God started dealing with me in those years.
00:15:20
When I came back from doing The Lawrence Welk Show, which was
00:15:24
September of 57. When I get back into Nashville,
00:15:29
I'm back drinking again. But I'm feeling the need to
00:15:35
change my life. And so I'm I'm dating this girl
00:15:43
and I decide I think I want to take her to a drive-in theater,
00:15:49
will park on the back row. I'll do my thing.
00:15:54
I had some thoughts in my mind of how I what I want.
00:15:58
I want to go to the back row, right?
00:16:02
Well, I called her on the phone. Said, would you like to go to
00:16:06
the Dr? Yeah.
00:16:07
Oh yeah, I'd like to go. What would you like to see?
00:16:13
She said, I'd like to go see the Ten Commandments.
00:16:17
I said what she said, Ten Commandments.
00:16:21
She said I think I'd like to see that.
00:16:24
Well, that's the last thing I wanted to go see right?
00:16:26
Then with the way I'm feeling, but I agree, I said, okay, we'll
00:16:32
go see the Ten Commandments. I still had it on, in my mind,
00:16:35
park on the back row, so I went in parked on the back roads,
00:16:39
like I had intended, all of a sudden you know all the
00:16:44
preliminary Czar coming on, so the movie starts and I start
00:16:48
putting my arm around her and so forth.
00:16:52
She know she wants to see the movie.
00:16:55
So it's not, you know, that's not part of her plan.
00:16:59
So I'm getting a little bit disgusted after about 20 to 25
00:17:03
minutes of making moves. And all of a sudden, I just get
00:17:08
real upset about it, and I sit back and look up at the screen.
00:17:13
And I'm looking at that part of the movie Charlton, Heston is in
00:17:17
splayed. Every year around the holidays,
00:17:21
at the very precise On the Cecil B Demille, gives the mount
00:17:24
monologue. The man that walked with Kings.
00:17:27
Now walks alone, stripped from all power and everything that he
00:17:32
had and it talks about him, you know, going through the desert,
00:17:36
he's been ostracized by Pharaoh, who's the power at that time and
00:17:41
he's put out there in the desert by himself.
00:17:44
And the Cecil B Demille says, the the man that walked with
00:17:49
these Kings driven into the dust from whence, he came came, the
00:17:53
metal is now ready for the makers use.
00:17:56
And God shot this Arrow into my heart.
00:18:00
And I want you to know I couldn't wait to get that girl
00:18:03
home and get away from. I mean, a whole change came over
00:18:07
me, I went home, my dad was on the road.
00:18:10
I didn't travel that much with him during this time. and,
00:18:16
Mother was in bed reading, something it was late at night
00:18:19
midnight or so. and I went in and I was so I was like a rubber
00:18:24
band Ken being stretched and pulled, And I just felt the
00:18:31
presence of God that people say that they don't even, you know,
00:18:34
believe lot of people don't even believe but I'm telling you what
00:18:37
I felt was real. I reached in a drawer and
00:18:41
grabbed my gun. I always carried this gun.
00:18:45
I went out in the front yard knelt down beside the tree.
00:18:50
And I had planned on getting rid of myself, believe it or not,
00:18:55
with all that going for me. And I started praying instead I
00:19:00
said God, is there such a thing as you in existence.
00:19:06
Are you really a true God is there such a thing as you and I
00:19:11
said, if there is I said can you give me a burning bush
00:19:14
experience? Like you gave the man that's
00:19:18
playing Moses in that movie. And all of a sudden marvelous
00:19:24
forgiveness came over me. God changed my heart by that
00:19:29
tree and it probably was around 2:00 in the morning.
00:19:33
At the time. I, I don't remember the exact
00:19:36
time, but I know that right then God laid it on my heart, and he
00:19:41
spoke to my heart is it's just like I'm talking to you almost
00:19:46
inside my mind. God said to me, I'm
00:19:50
overshadowing you at all times. Walk, softly, before me for I
00:19:55
intend to use you for the kingdom of God.
00:19:59
And then I knew what my world was going to be from then on
00:20:03
that's the night that I started deciding.
00:20:08
I made the decision that I was going to become a preacher.
00:20:12
Well it wasn't that easy. What am I going to do?
00:20:17
How am I going to get into it? I don't know that much about the
00:20:20
Bible. I can't quote to the Ten
00:20:22
Commandments all that I know is a couple of movies that I saw.
00:20:27
I never grew up in the church. All I knew.
00:20:31
I didn't know much about the name of Jesus hardly first song
00:20:35
that I ever sang at the age of three standing on Coca-Cola
00:20:39
boxes, on one of my dad's showed, believe it or not, was a
00:20:42
song called Jesus loves me. This, I know for the Bible tells
00:20:45
me so I didn't know that was I was three years old.
00:20:50
I didn't understand anything about what went on in churches.
00:20:53
Nobody ever talked to me about it.
00:20:55
Nobody ever handed me a track or witness to me or discuss it with
00:20:59
me. I didn't know nothing about
00:21:01
Jesus. Nothing.
00:21:03
And now all of a sudden, these couple of movies are having an
00:21:07
impression upon me. And I had come to the Lord when
00:21:12
I was 14, 15 years old and only Only lasted for six months, in a
00:21:18
church that had 75 people in it. That was my first knowledge of
00:21:24
knowing anything about God. Dating a girl whose mother and
00:21:29
father and I'm kind of backtracking here whose mother
00:21:34
and father were members of this church.
00:21:35
And so I went I surrendered that night to God.
00:21:41
But I didn't last that's when I went into my drinking and to my
00:21:45
show business, career bigger and stronger.
00:21:49
So I had that period of time right there.
00:21:51
I hope I don't confuse people with that.
00:21:53
But Six months, I might say maybe eight months of church
00:21:59
background is all I had. So I knew nothing didn't know
00:22:03
how to preach didn't know a thing about it.
00:22:06
And you got to understand this one of the reasons I drank was
00:22:10
because I was real shy and I didn't how to talk to an
00:22:14
audience. So if I took a pillar to, I
00:22:19
could go out there and I, you know, I could stand before that
00:22:23
audience and talk more. Well, now, all of a sudden I'm
00:22:29
saying to myself. I, I'm too scared and shy and I
00:22:33
don't know, any Bible or anything.
00:22:35
So, all of a sudden My Mind Is Telling Me, well, maybe that's
00:22:38
not what God wants you to do. Maybe he just wants you to stay
00:22:42
in the business because that gives you open doors where you
00:22:46
can talk to people about your relationship and therefore, give
00:22:51
a testimony and sing a couple of gospel songs, something like
00:22:54
that, and that made sense. But I kept getting this tearing
00:22:59
at my heart was very difficult. I didn't know what to do, so I
00:23:04
kept putting it off and putting it off.
00:23:07
So, we're talking, now, I'm over at Elvis Presley's place in
00:23:10
January and, you know, I'd still had a few drinks.
00:23:16
I hadn't broken all my habits totally yet, but I'm trying to
00:23:20
do a better thing. Trying to be a better person.
00:23:23
So, here I am at Elvis's house and he's off.
00:23:26
Me an opportunity that I could have jumped that.
00:23:31
So now I'm saying Elvis, if you just told me that six months
00:23:36
ago, I would have jumped at it. I don't know what kind of apart,
00:23:40
you know, how big it was going to be here, all that stuff, but
00:23:43
it was interesting and all of a sudden, I turned to him and I
00:23:49
say no, I said obviously, I think I'm going to quit my
00:23:53
career. I'm going home from here, and
00:23:57
I'm going to go into full-time Ministry.
00:23:59
And so, when I made the choice to go into full-time Ministry,
00:24:04
God didn't just put me out there in front of 10 people.
00:24:09
My last show was in Denver, Colorado, to 12 people.
00:24:13
I received an encore that night, I had a record doing real good.
00:24:17
I had On television a lot. Now I did what they called in
00:24:24
Compton in the Los Angeles area. I had done a show that just
00:24:30
thrilled me to death even more than the Lawrence Welk thing and
00:24:34
that was Town Hall Party. Which now YouTube is playing
00:24:37
those shows Town Hall Party had all those old western stars on
00:24:43
their Jimmy wakeley. Any Dean Tex Ritter all of these
00:24:48
People that I used to watch as a kid.
00:24:51
Now, I'm going to get to sing on the stage with them.
00:24:54
Can you imagine that? Would you believe that how
00:24:57
things come full circle? And so here I am getting to do
00:25:04
that program. That my dad had been on when he
00:25:08
was out there in 1948. And now, here I am doing this in
00:25:12
1957. So, all of this became part of
00:25:17
my past. So when I started hitting the
00:25:21
Evangelistic Trail, when I made the step forward to become a
00:25:25
full-time preacher, when I go out on the stage, I have a
00:25:30
certain night. I might like my honey service,
00:25:34
you call it. That I would advertise because
00:25:37
back then they used to have revivals the low.
00:25:40
The shortest one would be a two-week meeting but many Times,
00:25:44
I'd be there for five and six weeks, you know, nowadays it's
00:25:48
different Church world has changed but back then you went
00:25:52
for two, three, four, five weeks.
00:25:54
I'd have a certain night that I would advertise every night, put
00:25:58
it on on, on the Marquis and things like that.
00:26:02
I'm going to give my personal testimony of my days in country
00:26:06
music in the people I've worked with.
00:26:09
Now, there are certain people could look at that and they
00:26:13
could ridicule it. It and they could say because I
00:26:15
have had people that have come up.
00:26:18
Well the only thing he wants to talk about is his days in
00:26:21
country music. Well you use what you have
00:26:26
available to you to get the attention of people about the
00:26:32
things of Jesus Christ. And that's what I felt God.
00:26:36
Wanted me to do. I wasn't patent at all on the
00:26:39
back. I wasn't trying to brag on it
00:26:43
and I Started later, telling the audience's, when I start giving
00:26:48
my testimony, I'd say to them, I want to say right off of the
00:26:52
back, I'm not here to glorify the entertainment business.
00:26:57
I'm not here to Pat anybody on the back, including my father,
00:27:02
I'm not here to brag on who I was.
00:27:05
And what I've done, I'm not doing it anymore.
00:27:08
I haven't been doing it x amount of years.
00:27:12
I'm 65 years now, go. Going into my Ministry.
00:27:16
I've never gone back into the business in 65 years.
00:27:20
I'm still doing what I started out doing at age 22 and I'm 86
00:27:25
now. So, I want you to understand I'm
00:27:29
not here to brag on me. I'm here to brag on Jesus and to
00:27:33
let you know how much he loves you.
00:27:35
And cares about you. Now, that has to put a question
00:27:38
in your mind. What's that question?
00:27:40
Why would you walk away from $350 a day?
00:27:44
Would You Walk Away From A Renewed RCA?
00:27:46
Victor key contract? Why would you turn your back on
00:27:49
all of these, Johnny Cash's index, Raiders and all these big
00:27:54
stars and walk away from everything.
00:27:56
You had that most people would give their eyeteeth for.
00:28:00
Why? Because I found something in my
00:28:04
spirit, better. That's much better at a.
00:28:08
Future something that is wonderful that even with all my
00:28:13
trials, and all my Temptations, all my heart aches and and all
00:28:18
of my bad decisions along with my good ones, that I don't want
00:28:22
to go back on. Now, I don't want to change.
00:28:26
So I'll do this to my death or until it all comes to an end.
