Remember When

Sharon's Project Inspiration:
Growing older will always stir up memories, and carries you back to days gone by. All of the songs on this album were inspired by just that. Hopefully this album will stir up old memories and feelings of your own, and bring a smile to your face!
Billy's Thoughts:
This is a special project for me because it is the first one Sharon and I have done together from beginning to end. It's also a chance to again go back to my roots of my family, who were all Country & Bluegrass musicians. I have met a lot of my family on my father's side as far out as 3rd cousins, and it is amazing how many of them are incredible musicians! It runs really deep in my family.
Song Details & Videos
'Jalopy Joe'
We didn’t have much money and times were really lean
Navy beans and cornbread were pretty much routine
Hard times and bad luck is all we ever seen
Jalopy Joe rollin’ down the road
My daddy drove an old truck that’s all he could afford
It didn’t have a tailgate, and rust was on the doors
When Monday morning came around he’d drop me off at school
And as my daddy drove away, the kids would all yell fool
Jalopy Joe rollin’ down the road
(Chorus)
Spittin’ and sputtering
Look at all that smoke
Comin’ from those tailpipes
As its rolling down the road
Bald tires all around
Ain’t even got a spare
That old engines bout to go cause oil's everywhere
Now that I’m a young man about to turn eighteen
I’m ready for adventure and following my dreams
Pops he never had much, was always down on luck
Wasn’t much to leave me, but he left me that old truck
Jalopy Joe rollin’ down the road
Got a job to pay the bills, but never there on time
That old truck means more to me but isn’t worth a dime
Tried to go out on a date, I thought she was the one
But when I pulled up at the door she turned around to run
Jalopy Joe rollin’ down the road
(Chorus)
Now that I’m much older and success has come to me
I took a lot of money and time that I had free
New rims and new tires, polished as can be
Took a lot of hard work but means a lot to me
Jalopy Joe rollin’ down the road
I wish Pops was still here to see that truck today
Sure has come a long way since hauling all that hay
People at the car shows have envy on their face
Every time I take it there I always win first place
(Chorus)
Duel carbs, fine tuned, hear that engine go
Smoke coming from the tires as its rolling down the road
If Pops was with me now, I’d take him for a drive
If only he were standing there to see it win first prize
Jalopy Joe rollin’ down the road
