CANTANTE: David Allan Coe

TITULO:Piece Of Wood And Steel

I can feel your arms around me like it was yesterday
i can feel your breathing 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 this piece of wood and steel
Its 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 of this piece of wood and steel
I'm growing tired of searching now there's something 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
