The year was 2005.
I was in a bar with a girl that was MUCH more intoxicated than I was. I think it's funny now because currently I am the one that ends up waste beyond reproach.But as it went that night, I was sober and she was drunk. so drunk that we had to leave the bar so she could get some air.
outside there were some small tables and a band was playing music for the crowd that had gathered to enjoy the warm Oklahoma summer night. we sat at an empty table and denied any more drinks when the waitress asked if we needed anything.
the band was asking the crowd what song they should play next and someone offered up their suggestion of "Midnight train to Georgia". someone else said they wanted to hear something fast, but in the end "midnight" won.
I had been carrying a small camera with me the whole time so I turned it on at the first mention of the Gladys knight song being played.
I sat and enjoyed my song while my girl tried to stop the world from moving so fast.
in the end I was the one that drove everyone back home and the girl sat in the seat next to me and slept the whole way home.
its funny because she was there with me, and you can hear her in the video, but I always remember it as if I was alone.
here is the video of that moment.
