The band: Sara Watkins, Mike Elizondo, Eric Doob, Brittany Haas, Shaun Martin, Noam Pikelny, and Bryan Sutton. — Lyrics: Morse has chained the lightning The rumors are true All this dashing and dotting’s gonna bring the world home to you And tell you what it is or what it might be So drink today’s coffee with tomorrow’s news...
