Ooops I Forgot The Words

Before I go any further, realize that this happens ALL THE TIME-to everyone! Actually, most of the time it happens when artists are singing their own songs, believe-it-or-not.  On this…

Before I go any further, realize that this happens ALL THE TIME-to everyone!

Actually, most of the time it happens when artists are singing their own songs, believe-it-or-not.  On this occassion though, we'll give Eric Church a pass as he was looking to pay tribute to a hero of his, Waylon Jennings.

On Friday night, it was opening night of the "Double Down" Tour in Omaha, Nebraska.  Church led the band into "Ain't Livin Long Like This," and not too far in, there's some trouble.

And it gets worse later.

Eric forgot some of the lyrics.

He laughs it off, as he should.  He's amazing, and it is funny.

Warning, some of EC's language on-stage might not be safe for work, so volume down!
