Travelin' By Guitar

TRAVELING BY GUITAR


SHAPED LIKE A WOMAN AND FUN TO HOLD
TIGHT WOUND STRINGS THE COLOR OF GOLD
STRUMMING OUT A RHYTHM AND HARMONY
TAKING A RIDE AND PLAYING The LEAD
WE PRACTISE HARD AND PAY OUR DUES
> > WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET TO YOU

(CHORUS)
UP AND DOWN THE ROAD TO THE CORNER BAR
PLAYIN’ FOR DRUNKS AND TIPS IN A JAR
STEALIN’ HEARTS AND SETTIN’ THEM FREE
WITH A FEW CHORDS AND A MELODY
RIDIN’ AROUND OUR FRIENDLY STAR
IT LIFTS US UP FROM WHERE WE ARE
WE’RE TRAVELIN’ BY GUITAR

LIKE A TEENAGE KID IN A BASEMENT ROOM
SHOOTING FROM THE HIP PRAYING FOR THE MOON
PLAYING ALL NIGHT TILL THE FINGERS BLEED
GOT DESIRE AND FEELING THE NEED
THROWING ALL CAUTION TO THE WIND
YEA WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE AND BACK AGAIN

(CHORUS)

YOU MIGHT BE A FRONT PORCH PICKER
NEVER GET ABOVE THIRD FRET
OR IN THE COMPANY OF OTHERS
LIKE LES PAUL MERLE AND CHET


(CHORUS)
