Steel Strings & Faded Songs

Описание: [Verse 1]
Dust on the jukebox
Boot marks on this old pine floor
Neon’s hummin’ crooked
But I’ve heard that tune before
Steel’s cryin’ in the corner
Fiddle sawin’ soft and sweet
Every heartache in this bar
Got a table, got a seat

[Chorus]
Give me that steel guitar, that fiddle moan
A lonesome voice that shakes my bones
Three chords holdin’ up this broke-down soul
Singin’ ’bout trucks and hard luck nights
Mama’s prayers and barroom fights
That old tradition makes this circle whole
I was raised on that traditional country song

[Verse 2]
Granddad in his work shirt
Turned the kitchen radio loud
Said, “Listen, boy, that story
Makes a poor man stand up proud”
Now I’m in this worn-out tavern
Where the band still plays it right
Hear that bow dance on the strings
And it carries me tonight

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Some folks chase the shine and smoke
Dress it up in glittered lines
But give me pickers in the back
Tunin’ up before showtime
When that steel bends into tears
And the fiddle cuts the air
I remember who I am
And why I ever cared

[Chorus]
