4:04
That's Yeah, hold them up.
4:04
Hold them up.
4:06
Yeah, I mean it's like spoon playing is one thing,
4:07

4:17
So, so yeah, brand new record.
4:18
This is a song off the new record
4:20
and it's just about all the little weirdos
4:25
that are in all of our families
4:27
and I'm speaking for myself
4:29
as well.
4:31
I know we all have some aunts
4:32
and uncles that you know made some bad decisions.
4:35
We don't really talk about it that much,
4:36
but we still we still invite them to Thanksgiving.
4:39

There's certain things you're supposed to know
13:53
when you're a girl who grows up in the South.
13:57
>> >> I try to use my common sense,
14:00
but my foot always ends up in my mouth.
14:05
And if I had to walk a runway in high heels in front of
14:09
the whole town,
14:10
I'd fall down.
14:13
And my mama cried when she realized I had tragedy material.
14:22
I'm always higher than my hair.
14:26
And it ain't that I don't care about what people think,
14:29
but I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit I ain't
14:36
exactly >> >> Miss Congeniality.
14:40
Sometimes I talk before I think.
14:43
I've tried to fake it, but I can't.
14:46
I'd rather be what I am >> >> than pretend to what I am.
14:54
I got no time for girls who smile
14:56
and hug when they're called out
14:57
as a runner up on TV.
15:02
I wish I could,
15:03
but I just can't wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feeling.
15:09
Who's to say I'm a 9.5
15:12
or a 4.0 if you don't even know me?
15:16
Life ain't always roses and honey bees,
15:21
and I >> >> can't imagine >> >> Higher than my hair
15:30
and it ain't that I don't care about what people think,
15:33
but I see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on the stage.
15:39
I ain't >> >> Sometimes I talk before I think.
15:47
I've tried to fake it, but I can't.
15:49
I'd rather for what I am than for what I ain't.
16:16
>> >> I ain't no >> >> Crown is in my blood.
16:22
They won't be handing me a sash.
16:25

16:30
on the stage.
16:32
I ain't >> >> Sometimes I talk before I think.
16:40
I've tried to fake it, but I can't.

18:25
But my sister called me this morning ugly crying about the legalization of of
18:29
the >> >> gay marriage
18:30
and um I just think it's insane
18:32
and so while we're here,
18:33

18:36
I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE.

18:49
>> >> But here we go anyway.
18:50
So.
19:04
If you save yourself for marriage,
19:06
you're a If you don't save yourself for marriage, you're a horrible person.
19:14
If you won't have a drink, then you're rude.
19:18
But they'll call you a drunk as soon as you down the first one.
19:23
If you can't lose the weight, then you're despised.
19:28
But if you lose too much, then you're on crack.
19:33
>> >> You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't,
19:37
so you might as well choose to do whatever you want.
19:42
So, make lots of noise.
19:45
>> Hey.

>> Or don't.
20:00
>> Just follow your arrow >> >> Follow your arrow >> >> If you don't go to church,
20:20
you'll go to hell.
20:23
If you're the first one on the front row,
20:25
you're a self-righteous son of Can't lose the You can't >> >> just support them.
20:33
Just cuz you can't beat them, don't mean you should join them.
20:38
Make lots of noise.
20:40
>> Hey.

Okay, so it's our first time to NPR.
21:35
And this is a crazy day legally.
21:39
So, I think we should do this chorus one more time all together
21:42
and I want to hear y'all's "Hey"s
21:43
and "Yeah"s >> >> like you're excited
21:46
that the world is coming around.
