God's Country Song

You got me good.

Thank you, Atlanta, I love you.

Nice job, mate.

Wait here, wait a minute.

Noah! Noah! Noah!

- Bring it on back, bring it on back!

Noah! Noah! Noah!

How y'all doing?

Thanks for coming out tonight.

How was the show? You like it, you had a good time?

Good.

Oh wait, hey, hey, hey, hey, back up, back up, back up.

Hey, how you doing?

Olivia, that's such a pretty name.

Thank you.

- Could we take a picture, a little selfie there?

All right, get in here.

How big can you smile?

Yeah, there you go.

Hey, that's pretty, thank you so much.

Hey, thanks for coming out, man, I appreciate it.

I appreciate it.

Hey, everybody get in here,

let's get one big photo. Come on, hey, give him your phone.

All right, everybody say Noah Bryan on three.

One, two, three.

Noah Bryan!

Woo!

All right.

That was amazing.

How you feeling?

Good, I'm feeling good.

- That was the best one yet, Noah.

Oh, yeah.

- Keep it up, people are noticing, man.

They love me.

They love me.

- Now you back that up a little bit.

Let's not get the cart before the horse here, right?

Have a beer.

- What you supposed to mean by that, Larry?

What's that mean?

- Well, it means you gotta stay humble.

I'm humble, man, come on.

- Don't forget, pride always comes before the fall.

I've seen it before, know what I'm talking about, alight?

- You ain't getting religious on me, are you Larry?

Just talking the truth, kid.

- Oh, I think we should celebrate.

- Now I think you need to slow that down.

We got a whole lot more touring to go.

You can suit yourself.

Just looking out for you.

I got this, man.

I need to get some gas, boss.

- Can you grab me something to drink in there, please?

Thank you.

Non-alcoholic.

How you doing, kid?

What's that?

- Doing all right, you feeling good?

- Yeah, yeah I feel real good, yeah, thank you.

How are your parents doing?

My parents?

Uh, they're good as far as I know, still working the farm.

I'd love to be able to hire 'em a couple hands

if I could, you know?

- Now that's a good son right there.

- Yeah, well according to my daddy,

a good son would have stayed on the farm to help out.

You got a gift kid, truly.

A whole lot of people would give anything

to be able to sing and play the way you do, God-given.

- I wish you'd tell my daddy that.

- Lord, we thank you for this day.

Thanks for blessing our food.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Amen.

Just listen to one of his songs.

It'd mean the world to him and to me.

I'm not gonna change my mind.

God knows he's just like you.

- You need to read this, Noah James Bryan.

- Come on, Larry, this ain't the first time someone's

claimed I was their baby daddy.

- It's the first time a lawyer has said it

and they want you to take a paternity test.

- I don't even know Charlene Meyers, man.

Look at this, JJ short for Jeremiah James,

that's my daddy's name, okay?

They could have been a little less obvious than that.

That's a fake, brother.

- Look man, I know it's a lot to take in

but if the child is yours,

with the mother having passed away,

you're the legal guardian.

Thank you.

Love you, Biloxi.

Great job, guys.

We take off 07:00 tomorrow.

Good job, man.

- Hey, come here Noah, I wanna talk to you.

- What? - Have a seat.

What?

- Look, I spoke to the attorney today.

He wants you to take a paternity test right away.

If the kid's not yours, you can move on.

It's not.

- Well but if it is, you need to deal with it, man.

I'm not doing it.

- What do you mean you're not doing it? - I'm not doing it.

You need to take care of this before it gets any bigger.

- I didn't see your name on the pap-

Shh.

Quiet down, we don't have to let the whole room

know about this right now.

It's not mine.

- Noah, a man can only run from himself for so long.

What does that even mean?

- It means no matter where you go, there you are.

- Well, that sounds like another country song.

I think I'll write it.

Paternity test.

Ain't doing it.

That wasn't so bad.

That's easy for you to say,

that lady just about tickled my tonsils with that swab.

Hey, we leave in an hour, man.

Going to Little Rock?

Little Rock.

Alright.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Look, Noah,

I know that your relationship with your father

isn't the best right now,

and you may even be afraid to be a dad,

it's a huge responsibility, but worth every minute.

I do remember her.

What's that?

Charlie, JJ's mom.

She was different than the rest, you know, she,

she was the kind you write a song about.

What happened?

I don't know.

I mean, she, she was always backstage,

that little honky talk remember we used to play at

outside Fayetteville?

I don't know, one day she just, she never came back.

I never heard from her again.

- Well, either way, God has a plan.

I hope you're right, Larry.

You sure you wanna do this?

He's a great kid.

JJ, you're gonna come stay with me for a while.

Would you like that?

I miss my mom.

I know, sweetie.

Thanks, bye.

- It's just until we can establish paternity

unless other family surfaces.

I know.

Okay.

All right, you ready?

Well, here we go.

You want me to open it?

No, no, I can do it.

I need a drink first.

- No, no, no, no, have a seat, Noah,

that's not a good idea.

I can't do it, you do it.

Come on, what is it?

Congratulations.
