Pure Country Page #5

- So I guess I'm nominated.

Well, if you don't mind.

So how come a beautiful girl

like you isn't married?

Well, I almost did once.

What happened?

This good-looking stranger

came into town...

and he said all the right things

and did all the right things.

- And then he went back.

- Back where?

To his wife.

- You didn't know?

- No, I didn't know.

Of course.

- I'm sorry, that was stupid.

- No, it's all right.

I'm over it by now. It just...

It makes you wary, you know?

Hard to trust people.

I trust you, though.

Why?

I don't know. Just

something about you.

You married?

No.

You ever been married?

No.

- What the hell is that?

- I don't know.

Hey, brother.

- You look like you're doing all right.

- That's Earl. Earl, this is Harley Tucker.

- Nice to meet you.

- Likewise.

I'll take the horses.

You know, I hardly recognize you.

Clean-shaven, short hair. You look...

pretty.

Younger.

I should've known you'd

find me. How'd you do it?

Something to do with trees and roots.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Grandma Ivy.

- So you've been playing some?

- No.

You're a flat lying

cur-dog, I tell you.

He talks to angels and

the stars start to spin

He thinks of troubles

that he's gotten in

He recalls how his heart got broken

And how it's still that way

The king of broken hearts

Doesn't know he's a king

He's trying to forget other things

Like some old chilly scenes

He's walking through alone

I guess you two have

played together before.

What, she doesn't know?

Earl and I played in a

band back in the old days.

Speaking of the old days, you'll

never guess where I went.

I'm gonna right a

great country wrong

That was quite a show you two

put on back at the ranch.

It was fun.

It was more fun than

I've had in a long time.

You're quite a talented

man, Mr. Wyatt.

And you're quite a

woman, Miss Harley.

I belong

That I'm gonna right a

great country wrong

Once upon a time

You had time to love me

And once upon a time

I brought you pain

if only we could

only start all over

I'd never leave your

loving arms again

And I'm gonna right a

great country wrong

I've never felt a

feeling quite so strong

I'm gonna hold you till

the heartaches fade

And all the pain is gone

I'm gonna right a

great country wrong

I'm gonna right a

great country wrong

I'll be right back.

Yeah.

Mama used to tell me

Look before you leap

I made a promise that I would

It's one I just can't keep

Try to be careful

And look out for myself

My mind is on my side

But my heart is something else

Looking like it's

gone way over, yeah

It pulled me down and tore me apart

After all you put me through

I'm still in love with you

What's the matter with you? Haven't

you ever been in love before?

Ahem.

You like dancing with my husband?

Looking like it's

gone way over, yeah

It pulled me down and tore me apart

After all you put me through

I'm still in love with you

I've got a crazy heart

Crazy heart

- Come on, Grandpa. we're going home.

- What's the problem?

You son of a b*tch!

How could you do it?

How could you stand there...

and look me straight in the

eye and lie to me like that?

I just don't understand it.

I trusted you.

Come on, we're going.

- What the hell is wrong?

- Don't! Don't!

I don't want to see you near

anybody in my family again!

Do you understand me?

No, I don't.

It pulled me down

Tore me apart

After all you put me through

I'm still in love with you

I got a crazy heart

Now still being true

Oh, man.

Dusty.

It's time to come home.

That's me. Underneath that

Dusty hat, that's me.

Where the sidewalk ends

And the road begins

We said goodbye

On a cold dark night

I'm not afraid to go

Harley, this is Wyatt.

Man, I can't believe you two.

Us two?

I swear to God, Wyatt,

I had nothing to do with it.

She must've had me followed

or something after I walked.

Hell, you walked out. Went home.

I followed you just...

Just like I always do.

How was I supposed to know

you didn't want to be found?

I didn't even know myself.

You should've made that

show in Shreveport.

I intended to.

- Things happen.

- Well, man...

nobody missed you.

Lula just cranked up the fire

on another dancing chicken.

Lula.

- Yep?

- I want to see Buddy Jackson.

Haven't found him yet.

Find him. Soon.

You're certainly good at that.

That Shreveport concert, I want you to

reschedule it. I'm gonna do it for free.

If we do that, everyone will

know you weren't there.

We can't let anyone know that.

You don't know what I went

through to save your ass.

Those people paid to see my show,

and that's what they're gonna get.

What choice did you give me,

disappearing like that?

Forget about me. You got a whole

band with families to support.

Did you think about them

on your little holiday?

They're the only reason I'm here.

What are we doing out here?

Where are we going?

Just taking a walk.

You know what happened

while I was gone?

I remembered I could

still play a guitar.

And I can sing.

And I remembered

I used to enjoy it.

And I'm good at it, so

that's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna play the guitar and sing.

No more smoke.

No volcano blast. And

no more light shows.

Just gonna stand on

that stage and sing?

- Can the whole show?

- That's right.

We've been doing this for a long time

together. You can do this with me...

or I'll do it by myself.

That's it.

Whoa! Ugh!

- You all right?

- I'm fine. I'm fine.

- What was that?

- That was me.

I wasn't concentrating. I just

can't concentrate, damn it.

Just forget about him,

Harley. He's no good.

You got a rodeo in

three days in Vegas.

Get him out of your head.

I wish I'd broken his jaw.

Today, an entertainment exclusive.

It's Milli Vanilli in reverse.

A member of country superstar Dusty's

road crew reveals an amazing secret.

Yes, I impersonated the guy

through the whole concert.

The TV! Quick! Come here!

The band was live, but the voice was

on tape and I lip-synched to it.

See, his manager offered

me a hundred...

Lula Rogers offered me $100,000 and a

recording contract if I'd keep doing it.

That's him.

But she changed her mind?

Maybe she found somebody else.

There's no telling how many

different guys she used before me.

- Where's the real Dusty?

- That, I don't know.

Dusty ends his phenomenally

successful road tour this weekend...

at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.

Country Music Network will be

there to answer the question:

Is it Dusty, or is it Memorex?

We'll be back with more from Country Music

Network after these brief messages.

Okay. This is Monique James,

Country Music Network...

and we'll try once again for

an interview in a minute.

I owe all of y'all an apology.

I put each of you here in this

room in a difficult position...

leaving the way I did,

and for that I'm sorry.

I guess I kind of lost track of...

what our real job was.

Maybe we all did.

In the early days...

it was all about the music.
