An Old Piece Of Wood (Live) - Graeme Connors[00:00:00]

My daddy was a farmer a simple man[00:00:14]

Quick with his mind and good with his hands[00:00:17]

A real hard worker with a soft side too[00:00:20]

Never made a lot of money but he made do[00:00:22]

And I can well remember after supper each night[00:00:25]

He'd sit on the front porch smoking his pipe[00:00:28]

Take a piece of timber and whittle away[00:00:31]

And there'd be a surprise for us next day[00:00:34]

A sailing boat or a wooden gun[00:00:37]

A doll for my sister a comb for my mom[00:00:40]

We were all amazed at the way he could[00:00:43]

Make anything he wanted from an old piece of wood[00:00:46]

Well my thirteenth birthday was drawing near[00:00:54]

And as bad luck goes it was a real good year[00:00:56]

The weather went wrong the crops were poor[00:00:59]

And the banker was howling at our front door[00:01:02]

You know my friends and I'd just found rock n roll[00:01:05]

So I was hoping for a little pocket radio[00:01:08]

But when the big day finally came around[00:01:11]

My daddy said son don't want to let you down[00:01:14]

Though what I got for you not what you had in mind[00:01:16]

It's the best I could do in these hard times[00:01:20]

Then my eyes lit up when I understood[00:01:22]

What he'd made for me from an old piece of wood[00:01:25]

An old piece of wood carved real fine[00:01:31]

Some fencing wire and some fishing line[00:01:36]

And I had a guitar like Johnny.B.Goode[00:01:42]

Man I was proud of that old piece of wood[00:01:48]

Years have gone by and change gone down[00:02:20]

My daddy sold the farm and moved into town[00:02:23]

My little sister married and moved away[00:02:26]

My momma's hair turned silver grey[00:02:29]

A farmers life was not enough for me[00:02:32]

I had bigger plans for what to do and be[00:02:35]

So now I make my living travelling the land[00:02:38]

Picking hot guitar in a country band[00:02:41]

And many a time when I'm up on the stage[00:02:44]

I think of my daddy and the present he gave me[00:02:46]

Though I don't see him as much as I should[00:02:49]

I thank him every night for that old piece of wood[00:02:52]

An old piece of wood carved real fine[00:02:57]

Some fencing wire and some fishing line[00:03:03]

I had a guitar I was Johnny.B.Goode[00:03:09]

Man I was proud of that old piece of wood[00:03:15]

An old piece of wood carved real fine[00:03:22]

Some fencing wire and some fishing line[00:03:27]

And I had a guitar I wish Johnny.B.Goode[00:03:33]

I built my life on an old piece of wood[00:03:39]
