Wail and Ride - Grayson Capps NOTE 1: I could not find lyrics for this song anywhere, this is my interpretation. The name "Purslane" was derived from a character in the movie: "A Love Song for Bobbie Long", in which Grayson Capps wrote and composed the title song. His father, Ronald Everett Capps, wrote the screenplay for the movie. However, it sounds as tho the "s" in "Purslane" is silent in the recording. NOTE 2: The song was acually recorded in Dm (NOT Am, as shown), however: I believe the band used non-standard tuning (low E tuned to D') (Intro) Am - Am - Am - Am - Am - Am - Am - Am (Verse 1)
