Lyrics
VERSE: A dozen brand new wooden posts a couple coils of steel
Bouncing down an old dirt road with daddy at the wheel
I'd help him mend the fences when I was coming up
But even then it was plain to see I had music in my blood
After supper sitting on my bed
I'd play guitar until my fingers bled
CHORUS: Wire and wood that's still the family trade
Daddy rode the fences I'm up here on the stage
Wire and wood a six string guitar
I'm a new brand of cowboy working just as hard
VERSE: Now that old dirt road's become a four-lane interstate
We ride a silver eagle's wings to get to our next date
I remember daddy said a man must follow his own heart
That's why me and this old guitar are never far apart
It's my life I won't apologize
I'll do my job like my daddy did until the day I die
CHORUS
Karl Williams (ASCAP) / Robert C. Welsh (ASCAP) / Hunter Moore
