Guitar Picker |
I remember back when I was sixteen |
I was sittin' around pickin' just my pops and me |
When his friend walked up in a cowboy hat |
Said I like what your doin' but it ain’t where it’s at |
I see this road will leave you cold and alone |
Old and broke and just a bag of bones |
So you better take heed to the words I say |
And stay quite clear of that lost highway |
Oh southern wind, won’t you take me high? |
I got seven ladies dancin' naked 'round an old camp fire |
Guitars pickin' with a bottle of wine |
I’ll be an old broke guitar picker, Lord, when I die |
Holes in my clothes, I got holes in my shoes |
I got a hole in my heart, that’s why I’m singin' the blues |
I put some change in my pocket but it’s all gone |
And everything that I do, it seems to be wrong |
So now I’m broke, I’m back on the street |
With a guitar case in front of Tate and me |
So you better listen up 'cause it ain’t no lie |
Please throw a nickel in when you walk by |
Oh southern wind, won’t you take me high? |
It’s hard to keep rollin' when all you got is flat tires |
Guitars pickin' with a bottle of wine |
I’ll be an old broke guitar picker, Lord, when I die |
I came in this world with nothin' on my back |
Now I’ll leave the same way and that’s a fact |
Ain’t in it for the money, ain’t in it for the fame |
I don’t really care if you remember my name |
So now I got to go, I got to hit the road |
I got to do the only thing that I know |
I got this feelin' deep down and I got to be true |
And I sure as hell ain’t gonna change for you |
Oh southern wind, won’t you take me high? |
When I hear the sounds comin' from an amplifier |
Guitars pickin' with a bottle of wine |
I’ll be an old, a broke guitar picker |
