Lyrics

COUNTRY MUSIC MEMORIES

Words & Music Darryl S. Brannen


V.1) JUST A LAD OF EIGHT, I'D GUESTIMATE
I WAS PLAYIN' MY DADDY'S FLAT TOP
AFTER SITTIN' BACK WATCHIN' EVERY MOVE HE MADE
FROM THE " MAN IN BLACK" TO ELVIS
AND A LITTLE CHEATIN' HEART
WHEN HE PLAYED OLD SHEP, I KNEW MY CHOICE WAS MADE AFTER SUPPER CHORES AND HOME FROM SCHOOL
I'D GRAB MY "KAY" GUITAR AND STOOL
AND ON THE FRONT PORCH SLAPPIN' MOSQUITOES AND TRYIN' TO SING
WE'D BE PICKIN' AND A'GRINNIN' JUST ME AND MY PA
LIKE ROY AND BUCK ON OLD HEE HAW
AND LET THE PINE TREES BE OUR NASHVILLE AUDIENCE

C.) AND HE SANG, TIMBER I'M FALLIN'
WITH MY TWO PART HARMONY
SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON WAS IN "C"
SIXTEEN TONS AND WHATTA YOU GET
HE WAS SINGIN' FROM THE HEART
HE SAID, "HELLO, I'M JOHNNY CASH"
I WAS LUTHER ON GUITAR

V.2) NOW TWENTY SOME ODD YEARS HAVE PASSED
BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
I WAS BEGGIN' HIM TO TEACH ME WABASH CANNONBALL
HE DON'T PLAY AS MUCH AS HE USED TO
AND THAT'S ALRIGHT
GOT THESE COUNTRY MUSIC MEMORIES TO RECALL
AFTER SUPPER AND CHORES AND HOME FROM SCHOOL
I'D GRAB MY "KAY" GUITAR AND STOOL
AND ON THE FRONT PORCH SLAPPIN' MOSQUITOES AND TRYIN' TO SING
WE'D BE PICKIN' AND A'GRINNIN' JUST ME AND MY PA
LIKE ROY AND BUCK ON OLD HEE HAW
AND LET THE PINE TREES BE OUR NASHVILLE AUDIENCE

C.) REPEAT, TAG, END.
