I spotted these classic country lyrics by @kingwoodkowboy and couldn't resist 'em!

Once you were mine and love was fine and oh, so good
Then came a time when a line was misunderstood
And by design songs intertwine with steel and wood
This old steel guitar plays the songs it knows it should
I’ve got an old steel guitar that once was brand new
Just as once I had a love that said she’d be true
With this old steel guitar and old mem’ries of you
I can play, night and day, songs that still make me blue
The old strings are so worn but they still sound the same
Like my heart that’s so torn when I still call your name
This old crying steel says it’s real what you became
This old steel guitar should be in the Hall of Fame
Once you were mine and love was fine and oh, so good
Then came a time when a line was misunderstood
And by design songs intertwine with steel and wood
This old steel guitar plays the songs it knows it should
I’ve got an old steel guitar that once was brand new
Just as once I had a love that said she’d be true
With this old steel guitar and old mem’ries of you
I can play, night and day, songs that still make me blue

Ooh great find! Perfect marriage between lyrics and music. Who’s that on fiddle? Is it Terry? Wunderbar! This is so solid. Radio ready!

funny how sometimes a song can sound like a saturday night honky- tonk bar. now that is a sign of authenticity

Really nice all around. Very polished sound. I enjoyed the listen.

Perfect music for the lyrics! And I'm GASsing badly for a lap steel, so this one kinda resonated VERY strongly with me. Love it!
