Jonathan East Lyrics
Six Strings and a Song Lyrics
I left home at 18 with an old flat top guitar
On my way to make myself a name
On the back streets of the city, I stood outside a bar
Pickin� my songs out in the rain
I poured my heart out while the sweat rolled down my cheek
I tipped my hat as folks just walked along
Didn�t have a dime then, nor too much to eat
Livin� on six strings and a song.
I played in all the beer joints, every roadhouse near and far
I cranked it out and left �em wanting more
But it wasn�t �til I walked up in an Alabama bar
�Til I found the sound that I�d been lookin� for
Just a couple of long haired boys, but son, they sure could play
We hit the road thinkin� we could do no wrong
Burning up that blacktop, in a beat up Chevrolet
Nothing but six strings and a song.
(Chorus)
Well, I�m a little bit gypsy, a little bit ramblin� man
This life I live, it keeps me movin� on
So, if your lookin� to hold me, you better do it while you can
�Cause I�m just here for six strings and a song.
We knocked �em out in Houston, tore �em up in Baton Rouge
Papers said we sure put on a show
Woke up in Mississippi with matchin� new tattoos
And just what it says, I still don�t know
Livin� on this highway ain�t no ordinary life
Everywhere I�ve been, I call my home
Truck stop cookin� and cheap motels and flashin� neon lights
But, all I really need is six strings and a song.
(Repeat Chorus)
Honey, I�m just here for six strings and a song.
