And so, uh, I lost my wife nine years ago.

And uh, when that happened, the thing that went through my mind was I've got to find some way to not just sit here and think about this.

So I got this idea in my head.

I said, remember when you were a kid and you wanted to write songs?

Why don't you do that?

So I just said, I said it to myself, I'm going to write ten songs and I'm going to make an album, and I'm going to go on tour.

And this little voice in my head said, it's too late, you idiot.

You missed it.

And so that's when I wrote the song it's Never Too Late, and that became the title cut of the album that I took on tour.

Well, I crossed the great divide in ‘89 I was looking for a way to put my past behind But then I found my heart on the shores of the Coeur dAlene She was playin with the ducks and geese in the pourin rain This princess was a treasure that I knew Dark braided hair and her eyes like sparklin pools But the job I took is on the coast, I can't stay I had to leave my heart on the shores of the Coeur dAlene Spokane River, bring my love to me She's ridin in a boat that her daddy carved out of a tree Down to the Columbia, all the way out to the sea Spokane River, bring my love to me Well, its been so long since I held my heart near So I wrote her a letter saying, “Princess, don't you fear” You can ride that river, it'll bring you straight to me I was standin on the bank everyday prayin that I see Spokane River, bring my love to me She's ridin in a boat that her daddy carved out of a tree Down to the Columbia, all the way out to the sea Spokane River, bring my love to me Spokane River, bring my love to me ‘69 the hippies came to town Nobody wanted them long-haired freaks around Every evening when the sun went down You could hear the sweetest sounds Smell of weed wafting through the air And sweet guitars would voice their deepest prayers Wed beat our swords into plowshares Peace and love and no more wars Where have all the hippies gone?

Where have all the hippies gone?

We could use some love and peace, where did it go wrong?

Where have all the hippies gone?

The ‘80s came and the 90s went Tell me, where was all that money spent?

Well what's a few more billion on the annual deficit All them dollars, but no damn common cents The rich got richer, thats for sure And I guess well always have the poor We all learned how to live with a whole lot more And the corporations are the ones that fight the wars Where have all the hippies gone?

Where have all the hippies gone?

Standin in line at the Starbucks talkin on a two-thousand dollar phone Where have all the hippies gone?

A new millennium is here my friend New Beginning, but the same old end The struggle for power, you do whatever it takes to win Feels like the ‘60s once again Where have all the hippies gone?

Where have all the hippies gone?

I know some found Jesus and some went out to Washington Where have all the hippies gone?

Where have all the hippies gone?

I still recall those sweet sweet sounds Bring back the peace and love Passin it around Where have all the hippies gone?

Where have all the hippies gone?

So I like I say I'm kind of a late bloomer, right?

I started playing out when I was 56 years old.

And uh, experts will tell you that if you want to get into music or songwriting or anything else, you have to move to Nashville or L.A.

or someplace like that.

And, but there's a lot of music to be made on the local level, and we've got a great music scene in Spokane, and it just depends on where you want to go.

You know, if you want to be a superstar, yeah, you probably have to go to one of those meccas.

But if you just want to make some music, just get out there and start doing it.

Go to open mics and go to jam sessions and get into it.

That woman can cook Take it from me She make the barbecue pork It drop you down to your knees, Yeah Everybody loves that girl Because of the way she look On top of all that, that woman can cook That woman can move See her there on the floor Shes getting down in a groove Leave us all wanting more Lord, I want more Just one time That's all it took On top of all that, that woman can cook Ah, Porter Cable Come on, Craig That woman got it all You know what I'm talking about She long and she tall Lord, she's a brick house And just one time And, Lord, I was hooked But on top of all that, that woman can cook On top of all that, that woman can cook Old rednecks and hippies Know that theyre somewhat alike The rednecks out drivin his pickup Oh the hippie, ridin his bike Hippies love everybody That's a side effect from smokin all that weed A rednecks gotta love, down deep in his heart But he'll kick some ass, if that's what you need Old rednecks and hippies Aint that much different, you see?

They both want the man to leave ‘em alone They both just wanna live Rednecks out making some moonshine The hippie is growin his herb Hippies might flash you a peace sign Rednecks will flip you the bird They both hate to get dressed up in a suit Driving some fancy new car They both believe that the truth You just have to be who you Old rednecks and hippies Ain't that much different, you see?

They both want the man to leave ‘em alone They both just wanna be free Well they say that this country is divided They show red and blue states on TV I turned off the news, I decided Maybe purple's the right color for me All of them people in power I don't think they understand How many old rednecks and hippies Are living across this great land Yeah, we're old rednecks and hippies And we ain't that much different, you see?

We both want the man to leave us alone We both just wanna live free Don't we all want the man to leave us alone We all just wanna live free When I was a kid, I wanted to do it.

And then I stopped because it was like, I'm not going to make it, I'm not good enough.

And so then when I was in 56, I thought, Im going to try it again.

And I realized when I got back into it I was good enough.

I could have done something.

And what I needed to do when I was younger was lean into what made me unique.

And I didn't understand that when I was a kid.

And I'm trying to do that now.

It's like, because that's the only thing you really got.

There's a bunch of people that are better guitar players than me, better singers, better songwriters.

But I'm the best Rusty there is, and nobody can beat me at being Rusty.

So I got to lean into that.

And if you're older and it was something you really wanted to do, whether it's music or anything else, it's like, just jump back into it just go get your feet wet.

If you wanted to play in the NFL, it might be too late for that.

But you could coach or you could do something else, you know, because I'm having the time of my life right now.

At an age where a lot of my friends are getting depressed, it's like I'm not depressed because I feel like I'm living my life.

So just jump into whatever it is you loved when you were a kid.

Well, I'm livin in Idaho Livin in Idaho There aint no place to go When youre livin in Idaho All them people from Spokane Cross the border whenever they can They like to buy cigarettes and gas But they make our traffic jam Livin in Idaho, livin in Idaho Ain't no place to go When you're livin in Idaho Over in Washington they dont care They sell that wacky tobacky over there But you better not use your phone, theyll bust you for that!
