    HEART STRINGS (a country muse)

    Well,
    I've played so many concerts
    from Albuquerque to Abilene
    at rodeos and reunions
    and roadhouses in between
    ain't had much time 4 lovin
    'cept the hit and run kind
    b'cuz everytime I stop 2 consider
    it's time 2 head on down the line

    They call it Country Music
    but it's really music of the soul
    for the farmers in Nebraska
    and the miners of that West Virginia coal
    Now,
    I ain't got nuthin against the city
    bright lights they sho nuff shine
    but my soul ain't never satisfied
    'till I smell that Ponderosa Pine

    My momma always said
    life ain't worth a plug nickel
    I ya can't find someone 2 sing
    2 the melody of love's music
    when you're pluckin them heart strings

    Well,
    I've made some stops in Memphis
    visited the brithplace of Elvis
    in Tupelo
    listened 2 jazz in New Orleans
    and sang the blues in Chicago
    been on the Mississippi
    God bless that Mighty Brown
    borrowed Ray Bob's binoculars
    on the banks saw the Indian burial grounds

    Have some folks who travel
    everywhere I go
    like family
    the've become 2 me
    they've been 2 every show
    we sit sometimes after concerts
    have some bar-be-que
    and share a taste
    then I pull out my harmonica
    ans start playin Amazing Grace
    My friend Belle is always askin
    when I'm gonna settle down
    I say, Belle I'd like 2 to
    but ain't no kind of steady life
    travellin' from town 2 town

    But my momma always said
    life ain't worh a plug nickel
    if ya can't find someone 2 sing
    2 the melody of love's music
    when you're pluckin them heart strings

    2 the meoldy of love's music
    when you're pluckin them heart strings
