Skaggs, Ricky - 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...
