Lyrics Talk #6 - Live - Emmylou Harris

Well, we all are here for a purpose and um
I let, you know, somebody else do all the speaking
'Cause they know more about this than I do
But we thought it might be appropriate
If we could find a song about solar energy
You'd be surprised, there isn't any
There aren't any
Or very many

However, however
We decided that there's a song written by A. P. Carter back in the 1930s
And uh, if you really think, think about it
It could be, uh
Applied to the purposes here
So we decided we'd work it out
The only problem was that we didn't know the words

So just to show you how much dedication we put into this show
We called a friend that was doing a show out in Virginia
That's on the East Coast, the other coast
And um, she was doing a Bluegrass show, she was just going on stage
She says, "I'll call you back in 45 minutes"
So she calls us back with the words and
They're taped on my guitar here
(It's a tribute to Sharon Hicks)
Yes, sir, this is for the

So we dedicate this song to Sharon, Sharon Hicks
And uh, this is called 'Keep On The Solar Side Of Life'
(And everyone should do this)

If y'all know the words to this one
Feel free to let it out
No, sing along if you want to, just a happy song anyway
