Morgan Wallen surprised fans during the first of three sold-out shows in Nashville, Tennessee, with a special performance alongside his longtime friend, Jimmie Allen.
In the midst of the East Tennessee native’s electrifying 26-song set, Wallen welcomed Allen to the stage to perform “The Way I Talk.”
“It sounds a little bit like my daddy / It don’t cuss around my mama / Got some words you’ve never heard / ‘Less you come from down yonder / The man upstairs gets it / So I ain’t tryna fix it / No, I can’t hide it / I don’t fight it, I just roll with it / Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi rolls / It’s the only way I know / Man, it ain’t my fault / I just live the way I talk,” Wallen sang before welcoming Allen to the stage to sing the track’s next verse.
Allen entered the stage to a capacity crowd, who roared in excitement upon seeing the “Freedom Was A Highway” singer.
“Yeah it’s, Yes sir, no ma’am, y’all come back, now / Fighting words if you run my last name down / I ain’t ashamed, matter of fact, I’m damn proud / Of the way I talk, y’all,” Allen sang, before he and Wallen harmonized on the second chorus.
