Ricky Skaggs - Brand New Strings lyrics

Daddy Came runnin’ ‘cross the railroad tracks Said boy, you won’t believe your ears There’s pickin’ on the front porch at Johnny Stacks He ain’t played like that in years Ain’t played nothin’ like that in years His heart is poundin’ like that ole guitar Lord, just listen to it ring All he ever played was the blues before But love can do wonderful things Hey, Johnny’s got some brand new stings They say she’s a waitress down in Carbondale He met her at the county fair She’s a good Baptist girl with amber eyes And long, long chestnut hair Lord, have mercy, way down to here His heart is poundin’ like that ole guitar Lord, just listen to it ring All he ever played was the blues before But love can do wonderful things Hey, Johnny’s got some brand new stings His heart is poundin’ like that ole guitar Lord, just listen to it ring All he ever played was the blues before But love can do wonderful things His heart is poundin’ like that ole guitar Lord, just listen to it ring All he ever played was the blues before But love can do wonderful things Hey, Johnny’s got some brand new stings Johnny’s got some brand new stings Johnny’s got some brand new stings…
