Guitar From The Soul

I don't read no music never learned the charts But I play what's buried deep in my heart Every note I bend every string I hold Ain't from my fingersit's comin' from my soul I'm playin' the guitar from the soul Where the pain and the passion take control No script no plan just a story to be told Yeah I'm playin' the guitar from the soul My daddy played blues on a porch in July Said"Boy don't fake it just testify" So I closed my eyes let the spirit lead Now the fretboard knows just what I need I'm playin' the guitar from the soul Where the joy and the sorrow both roll It ain't fancy but it's real and bold Yeah I'm playin' the guitar from the soul Some folks chase gold some chase fame But I'm chasin' the truth in every flame Let the amp hum low and the night unfold My blues ain't borrowed my heart ain't sold Still playin' the guitar from the soul Let the music mend what life stole And when my time's up and the curtain is closed Let 'em say"He played the guitar from the soul"
