I wish I could've been right there in that diner for this entire thing. Fantastic.

[@GemsOnVHS]

[@Michael-uf1hz]

Dave stamey is great, you do him justice here. Cheers ol boy.

[@bwest58]

The way he keeps looking that old man in the eye. It adds weight to this song that leaves a lump in my throat. That look is exactly what this song is about.

[@gringostarr7858]

I dont understand how this doesn't have more view. JDW, and gems are some of my favorite combinations of all time, better than chocolate peas and vanilla carrots.

[@tylerlepage8619]

The crossover i didn't know I needed. Dave Stamey is from my area, and I love Jason. Glad he knows about Dave, both are seriously under appreciated artists.

[@LonesomeTraveler]

That's very true, glad Jason did Dave!

This is great. His playing is so genuine, always a pleasure to listen to. Excited for his upcoming album! Chords and lyrics below and on Ultimate Guitar as always folks! Standard tuning, Capo on 5 The C is normally played like a C/G (332010), I noted a simple C for reasons of clarity Intro G C G x2 Verse 1,3,4 G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C G / G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C D G Verse 2 G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C D / G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C D G Chorus 1 D G / D Em / C G Em / G D G C G Chorus 2 & 3 D G / D Em / C G Em / C D G Interlude G C D G Outro C D G [Intro] [Verse 1] There’s an old gravel road It's following the section line Out where dreams are held together With sweat and baling twine Where you rattle your bones on a tractor Over thirty years old And there’s a mortgage and kids to be fed Out on Twelve Mile Road [Verse 2] Well, it's just a stretch of country The wind comes blowing through The Homesteaders starved out and blew away Ain't nobody out here but you And you know someday it’s gonna turn around But Lord, it turns so slow But it ain’t rained since April Out on Twelve Mile Road [Chorus] Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow Hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road [Verse 3] Now you raised some hay and a few head of cows You swing a hammer in town You do anything you can goddamn do To keep your feet on the ground Cause if a man works hard enough He can turn that straw into gold Or ain’t that the way it’s supposed to be Out on Twelve Mile Road? [Chorus] Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow Hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road [Interlude] [Verse 4] Now you dream of the day when the air is clean The fences all run true All of your worries just vanished like smoke And all the hard times are through You’ll look down from the top of the hill Your dreams are there to hold Or ain’t that the way that it’s supposed to be Out on Twelve Mile Road? [Chorus] Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow I've been hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow Hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road [Outro]

[@williamburris9662]

@@andyhinners4402 From what I've seen of it, there's not a lot to miss but you can still see the grandeur that once was. Hope you can get back to visit someday, safely.

Who said the old Bob Dylan was dead? Jason shows us how music can be simple with G, C, D and Em and tell a wonderful story. Kudos to GemsOnVHS!

Nice singer, nice place

[@DeanCheek]

Reminds me of my home, tenmile Oregon 😅

[@eatwhatthemonkeyseat8161]

Yes, this right here is the real deal.

[@Splat55099]

This guy gets it.

[@AxeMoose]

I really feel this.

[@mikewavemusic]

This man already has the characteristics of a grey old man playing on the porch of a family ranch, quieting down his children and grandchildren to listen to them chords and stories

[@natx4207]

I need that hat he is wearing!!!

[@oldtimejustin7131]

🔥🔥

[@DougFLTRX]

Here in Bowling Green I'm just a skip away from Ben and Ashley and also Pete's. Love Jason's stuff and really dig your channel, Anthony. Bravo.

[@Galiuros]

This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson

[@corylandmark6752]

Anyone know what resonator that is he's playing? Great sound and love the slotted headstock.

[@aaronisacomedian]

Hard to believe just 4 miles from 12 mile road is a man with 1 shot, 1 opportunity, would he capture? Or just mom's spaghetti?

[@dustinharris9332]

Does anyone know if he’s been playing this on tour? Because I swear I’ve heard him song this

[@binky777]

Only artist strumming a resonator.

[@likeheroinsoap]

Did I just catch you eating toast with a fork......hmmmm idk what to think about this.

[@johnedward8352]

Does he have sideburns tatted on his face?

[@christopherwescott551]

😭😭😭😭😭.....

[@tomorrow2964]

A hitter.

[@michaellesousky]

This is the shit!

[@DV-ol7vt]

Americans!

[@JustSumGuy]

We all pine for simpler times. I look to the days men didn't get sideburn tattoos for example.

[@GemsOnVHS]

why does it matter? honest question!

[@chrislackey2170]

i bet that little dinner has amazing food
