Six Shiny Strings (六字箴言) - Chris Wall[00:00:00]
A one two[00:00:00]
One two three[00:00:02]
On a downtown street in Memphis[00:00:10]
A gets walkin into Elvis' shoes[00:00:12]
Ain't got enough[00:00:16]
To make the rent much less to pay his dues[00:00:18]
But he walks into an old pawn shop[00:00:23]
And he plunks down everything he's got[00:00:25]
Six shiny strings on an old wooden box[00:00:28]
Well the man throws in an old case[00:00:34]
Can't wait to get it home[00:00:37]
And he plays and he plays in a secret place[00:00:40]
'Til there's a pounding on the wall[00:00:43]
Well the guy next door yelling knock it off man[00:00:47]
I don't want to have to call the cops[00:00:50]
But he can't stop he done heard the call[00:00:52]
Six shiny strings on an old wooden box[00:00:58]
Put her in the right hands man[00:01:03]
The dang thing nearly talks[00:01:05]
It'll thrill your soul it will cheer your bones[00:01:07]
Brother right down to your socks[00:01:10]
Six shiny strings on an old wooden box[00:01:13]
Well he picks and he plays on it every day[00:01:19]
'Til he finally gets the call[00:01:21]
The guitar man's too drunk to play[00:01:24]
Down at the legion hall[00:01:26]
Well he hits the stage and he burns it up[00:01:30]
The crowd starts yelling brother turn it up[00:01:33]
And he takes his first step down a lost highway[00:01:35]
Six shiny strings on an old wooden box[00:01:41]
Put her in the right hands man[00:01:46]
The dang thing nearly talks[00:01:48]
It'll thrill your soul it will cheer your bones[00:01:50]
Brother right down to your socks[00:01:53]
Six shiny strings on an old wooden box[00:01:56]
And they said play your heart out kid[00:02:23]
Oh Lord don't you know he did[00:02:25]
In a cloud of dust he was on the bus and gone[00:02:28]
Bright lights and neon signs[00:02:34]
The years flew by in forth fore time[00:02:36]
Now he calculates the price for every song[00:02:40]
On an old tour bus in Texas[00:02:45]
Cat's pickin out a lonesome tune[00:02:47]
He tells himself he's trying to write[00:02:51]
He's just a howling at the moon[00:02:54]
Well he starts downhill and it hits the steel[00:02:58]
Assorted wives and a few ex kids[00:03:00]
And he can't make the change that's a coming soon[00:03:03]
In some old Nashville hock shop[00:03:08]
A man's living with the cash in hand[00:03:10]
He traded in a Martin box and one shiny golden band[00:03:14]
Outside some kid had stopped a guy[00:03:20]
Starring in the window of that old pawn shop[00:03:23]
Six shiny strings on an old wooden box[00:03:26]
Six shiny strings on an old wooden box[00:03:33]
Put her in the right hands man[00:03:38]
The dang thing nearly talks[00:03:40]
It'll thrill your soul it will cheer your bones[00:03:42]
Brother right down to your socks[00:03:45]
Six shiny strings on an old wooden box[00:03:48]
Six shiny strings on an old wooden box[00:03:54]
