Old Maple Guitar[Verse 1]I got my first guitar, when I turned thirteen Daddy said here ya go son, now you can play like me I got that honky-tonk fever, deep down in my bones From that old maple guitar, and a good country song [Verse 2] I remember the dry heat, and the Mojave sand Just me and that guitar, and some old marine friends And about the only thing that got us through Twentynine Palms Was an old maple guitar, and some good country songs [Chorus] Lord that old maple guitar's got wood grains of gold And that good country music, just pours from your soul And it'll echo in the airways till god calls us home With an old maple guitar, and a good country song "Take her up boys" [Verse 3] I was stranded in Birmingham, and down on my luck 'Cause that wife took my money, and then a bank took my truck Oh but, there's two things I still have, that they better leave alone That's this old maple guitar, and these good country songs [Chorus] Lord that old maple guitar's got wood grains of gold And that good country music, it just pours out from the soul And it'll echo in the airways till god calls me home With an old maple guitar, and a good country song [Outro] Mark, play that old maple guitar, and a good ole Hank Williams country song |
