lyrics

Lyrics:
Pull up a stool
Because I’ve got this tune
For you to put your melodies to
Do what, just do what you do
And let those licks fill the room

Play that lap steel for me, baby
Help set the mood
Listen just how so very empty
This sounds without you

I can appreciate
The phrasing and space
You learned listening to the greats
Clear, it’s clear as day
You’ve got the look, the feel, the taste

Play that lap steel for me, baby
Pepper the groove
Meat and potatoes, you’re gravy
So what’s eating you?

It’s always been my four track, my four walls, and me
No one to follow or to lead
Opening up this world doesn’t come naturally
Let’s see if I can be accompanied, here’s two bars for free

You’re so in the pocket
But you still let it rip
There’s something true and real in those thumb and finger picks
The count off hangs on your lips
Seal this record with your kiss

And play that lap steel for me, baby
Country, bluegrass, and blues
I’d spend a lifetime just strumming
Through songbooks with you

So pull up a stool
Because I’ve got this tune
For you to put your melodies to
