| So when I was 13 years old, I was with my dad on the i-84 freeway
|
| And I have 4 sisters that hardly ever get alone with my dad
|
| And some how we got alone with my dad, and some how we got alone
|
| We’re on the Oregon freeway, i84 I grew up in Washington
|
| We’re hanging out, it’s just me and him, and I’m 13 years old
|
| So we’re driving along and he gets kind of serious
|
| So he turns to me and says to me Hey Tyrone, and I go, yeah dad?
|
| You know your grandma Agnes, you know your grandma Agnes?
|
| He said, she used to yodel
|
| And I said, yeah ok dad, that’s cool alright
|
| And we’re just driving along
|
| And it gets kind of quiet and he’s contemplative
|
| And he goes, hey Tyrone
|
| Yeah dad, what dad?
|
| Your grandma Agnes, she taught me how to yodel
|
| And I said, alright dad, that’s cool
|
| We’re driving along, and it’s really quiet now and serious
|
| Tyrone, yeah what?
|
| Now it’s your turn to yodel
|
| So he taught me how to yodel when I was 13 years old
|
| And I know you’re all dieing to hear me yodel right now
|
| So actually this is part of the show where you snap your fingers like this
|
| This is the song my dad taught me on the i84 freeway when I was 13,
|
| so here it goes
|
| Way out on the windswept desert
|
| Where nature favors no man
|
| A buffalo found his brother
|
| Asleep on the sun baked sand
|
| And he said brother what ails you
|
| Has sickness got you this way
|
| But the brother never said because the brother was dead
|
| He’d been dead away last may
|
| I can feel the jealousy |
