Sweet Steel String Guitar Lyrics

She was born as a rosewood tree-on-a-hill
In a dark green forest down in west-brazil
Lightning hit a branch and it felt quite hard,
A gypsy took it home and made this fine guitar
I bought her of a country-singer passing through
He was giving up music cause his wife said to
I wrote a song with him on the very first night
We were more than partners, it was love at first sight
Heres a song for the sweet steel string guitar,
Thats allways been here and carried me far,

Heres a song for the sweet steel string guitar
We share alot of stretches and a whole lot of scars
She stuns like a woman of elegant grace, lights so alluring in a velvet case
Didliane-neck with a renevoir face, we need to untangle, we need to embrace.

I pick her up gently and i play a song, she's allways excited, she allways responds
She's jealous when other pickers comes on by, with some fancy guitar, they wont need to try.

Heres a song for the sweet steel string guitar,
Thats allways been here and carried me far,
Heres a song for the sweet steel string guitar
We share many stretches and a whole lot of scars

There's no one like her when i get the booze, theres nobody else i need to go to
My heart and soul might be like a tomb, it doesnt take long til the sun shines through

Heres a song for the sweet steel string guitar,
Thats allways been here and carried me far,
Heres a song for the sweet steel string guitar
We share many stretches and a whole lot of scars
Heres a song for the sweet steel string guitar,
Thats allways been here and carried me far,
Heres a song for the sweet steel string guitar
We share many stretches and a whole lot of scars
THE END!
