Nashville Picker

18 years I've been right here Just roping cattle on this old frontier Ain't got a woman but I got a guitar Bout to hit the road and start playin them bars Uncle Tucker said be careful son There's a lot in this world that ain't real fun Keep a pistol on your hip and the Bible in your mind Trust me boy you'll be alright I said just let me loose and I'll be fine Threw my guitar in the back of my 84' Ford Gonna go down town and round up the boys All packed up and ready to go Well I'm telling ya son no we ain't goin slow From Winslow, Arizona to Nashville, Tennessee Feeling pretty good and I'm happy to be me Playin every little joint that a man can play Livin ain't easy but its ok Just tune me up and put me on stage Now I'm making a living just picking out here Speeding through life and shifting them gears Holding on to something that's tried and true Lord I'm just doing what I love to do Makin music and working all day It just happens to be that way Lord I don't know how a man complains By just living the day to day And I'm just thinking you for your grace
