So
this
one
we'll
get
into
a
little
oklahoma,
more
oklahoma
history
with
this
one.
So
a
lot
of
my
family
is
from
western
oklahoma
clinton,
oklahoma
weatherford
in
that
area
and
my
grandfather
used
to
own
a
restaurant.
There
called
the
branding
iron
or
everyone
just
called
it
paul's
branding
iron,
and
while
my
mom
was
going
to
college
at
swasu,
she
was
working
at
this
restaurant
that
was
kind
of
attached
to
a
hotel
right
there.
D
Actually,
if
you
take
I-40
and
you
go
past
clinton,
you
drive
right
by
it-
it's
right
there
by
the
highway,
and
so
when
I
was
born,
we
lived
in
like
four
to
six
different
places
before
I
was
six
months
old
because
my
parents,
when
they
were
still
married,
had
an
oil
supply
company
and
when
the
glut
happened
and
then
the
bust
happened
and
then
pence
where
bank
happened,
we
lost
everything,
and
so
I
I
don't
know
if
that
makes
me
technically
homeless.
When
I
was
first
born.
D
I
think
maybe
I
don't
know,
but
I
was
like.
I
want
to
write
some
songs.
I
want
to
write
some
songs
that
really
are
like
kind
of
into
this
personal
history,
but
also
incorporate
a
lot
of
just
the
truth
about
oklahoma
and
very
literal
things
that
we've
gone
through
in
the
states.
So
this
is
called
paul's
branding
iron
and
it
is
kind
of
an
ode
to
that
era.
I
guess.
D
D
Play
it,
let's
see,
got
one
or
two
left
for
you
guys.
This
is
so
my
late
father
was
kind
of
this
renaissance
man.
He
was
in
canterbury
for
30
something
years
he
was
a
choir
director.
You
know
I
worked
a
bunch
of
odd
jobs,
anything
from
taxi
driver
car
salesman
janitor
all
this
stuff,
but
he
was
an
artist
and
started
with
wood.
D
What
do
you
do?
You
are
you
just:
did
you
get
this
rock
to
stare
at
it
like?
What
are
you
doing?
You
know,
and
it
was
because
what
he
would
do
is
he
would
turn
this
rock
until
he
found
the
color
and
shapes
kind
of
starting
to
come
to
him,
because
each
rock
had
individual
like
striping
inside
of
it
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So
I
wrote
this
song
about
my
dad
and
about
his
like
stone,
sculpting
stuff
and
it's
called
hammer
of
the
gods.
D
I'll
do
I'm
gonna
do
one
more
for
you
guys
I
used
to
I
was.
I
was
telling
greg
this
story.
I
used
to
work
at
a
vintage
shop
at
penn
square.
It's
a
vintage
t-shirt
store
called
galaxy
vintage.
It
was
a
pin
square
mall.
I
was
21
and
it
was
the
summer
time
and
I
had
my
guitar
in
the
car
and
I
didn't
want
to
leave
it
out
there,
one
because
it's
the
mall
and
I'm
not
trying
to
get
anything
stolen
and
two.
It
was
hot
and
string
instruments
and
hot
weather.
D
There's
a
stairwell
exit
from
the
movie
theater
pinscore
mall
that
like
no
one
ever
uses,
and
so
I
went
out
there
on
my
break
and
sat
down
and
I'm
a
really
big
fan
of
a
an
artist
called
named
nick
drake,
and
I
was
like
really
heavy
in
a
nick
drake
phase
back
then
so
I
wrote
this
song
when
I
was
when
I
was
21
working
at
a
vintage
shop
and
I
wrote
it
on
the
stairwell
at
penn
square
mall,
which
is
actually
pretty
good
environment
for
songwriting.
Let
me
be
honest
with
you.
