This video was made intentionally using nothing but stock footage. We live in an unbelievable era of collaboration and access to talent. So, we pushed ourselves to tell a story using the genius of others, and to create a video for free while we are off the road due to COVID-19. We want to personally thank all the incredibly talented artists who helped make this video a reality.

Lyrics:

"8teen"

She was 8teen
Far from flawless
Born in the bayou outside New Orleans
Rawlings baseball glove
The one thing daddy left to show his
Loved Her cigarettes Miller high life
From Friday’s check
Makin blackjack jet bets
Down at Harrah’s
Borrowed a bit to
muchy muchy pass the dutchie
Pedal to metal and pop the clutchie
Blue lights in the cracked rear view
The voodoo you do trying to pass right through you
The voodoo you do trying to pass right through you


She was 8teen
Far from home
Deep in dirt like Skelton bones
Owned nothing in hand
But a bright red raft boat down the rio grande
Prize never came
Feel the shame
Break the brain
Hop the train
Train of thought that rocked and knocked all that you knew you came a sought what brings and brought you back to life inside a pot that called the kettle
Black
No turning back
Thumb up head down
Fly by four wheels...whack


And Just like that
She was carved in stone
And just like that
She’s coming home



She was 18
She was 18
