david allan coe - piece of wood and steel lyrics

Loading...

by richard dobson

i can feel your arms around me
like it was yesterday
i can feel your hearing next to me
and hear your laughter gay
you tried to tell me what was right
and i told you what was real
all i ever live for now
is this piece of wood and steel

in a world that’s full of trouble
a world that’s full of pain
lord, many fall beside the road
and they never rise again
many more are bending low
or broken at the wheel
all i need to carry on
is this piece of wood and steel

i was born my mother’s only son
she loves me all she can
but there isn’t much to say to her
since i became a man
and i often met the devil
but i never made a deal
i just thank the lord for hands to play
the piece of wood and steel

it’s face is scarred and beaten
like the ragged clothes i wear
like the body that god gave me
i might give it better care
but i play it for the ladies
and i play it for a meal
i play the strings just to hear ’em ring
on this piece of wood and steel

i’m growing tired of searching now
there’s nothing much i crave
give or take a little time
and you can write it on my grave
there’s nothing more i care to own
nothing left to feel
all i ever wanted
was this piece of wood and steel

in a world that’s full of trouble
a world that’s full of pain
lord, many fall beside the road
and they never rise again
many more are bending low
or broken at the wheel
all i need to carry on
is this piece of wood and steel

i was born my mother’s only son
she loves me all she can
but there isn’t much to say to her
since i became a man
and i often met the devil
but i never made a deal
i just thank the lord for hands to play
the piece of wood and steel

i’ll be playing this guitar till the day i die
