Leon Long - Rusty Strings Songtexte

Songtexte Rusty Strings - Leon Long




I grew up in a downtown diner where my momma worked every night
Never saw my daddy too much, he could never seem to get it right
I spent my nights with the rockin jukebox
And all the songs my momma sang
Found an old flattop in the back one night,
It was a beat up greasy thing
Momma said, "Son while you're sittin round here,
Oughtta learn to play and sing"
So I started picking out those jukebox songs
On those rusted guitar strings
Daddy played the lottery, you know he never won a thing
Momma played the jukebox, Johnny, Willie and the king
I played that old flattop boy I loved to hear her sing
Momma played the jukebox and I played those rusty strings
'Fore too long I knew those songs, I could play near everything
From the rockin jukebox on the old flattop,
All those songs my momma sang
As I got a little older, played the VFW for the soldiers Fridy nights
Had a local DJ come to hear me play, said, "that boy is outta sight!"
Momma said "Son, they'll be screaming your name,
Gonna be the next big thing" so,
As I stand up here in the stage and lights I can still hear her sing
With the old jukebox, late at night, as I play those rusty strings
Momma played the jukebox and I played those rusty strings
Momma plays the jukebox and I play these rusty strings
