That chorus, though.
This morning, Ernest took to twitter to share part of a brand new song, “Takes After You,” as well as some pretty cool insight on how he got the inspiration for it.
“I heard someone talking to Johnny Cash in a video – they said “Johnny I’ve known ya a long time…. And I got a son now, and if he don’t take after Jesus… I’d be quite alright if he took after you”
Ernest then goes on to say how it immediately made him think of his wife and two-year-old son, Ryman.
“I couldn’t agree more with Ryman and Delaney. She is the most humble, kind, empathetic, nature loving, giving, selfless and downright WHOLESOME human I know….That being said , I want to instill in him a KNOWING of God and the importance of gratitude and faith… My wild side has won too many times and I hope by my mistakes I can help him avoid some… but like the song says… If he don’t take after Jesus, i hope he takes after YOU.”
Ernest has been on the road opening for Morgan Wallen but just recently announced his 15-date headlining “This Fire Tour.” The tour kicks off in Oxford, Ohio on October 18 and runs through November 28, where the tour will wrap up in Nashville, Tennessee.
I imagine we’ll probably get to hear this one out on the road, soon. Hope they sell a pack of tissues with the tall boys…
Prolly gonna drop this new song soon. I heard someone talking to Johnny Cash in a video – they said “Johnny I’ve known ya a long time…. And I got a son now, and if he don’t take after Jesus… I’d be quite alright if he took after you”… so I immediately thought….
