[00:00:00] An Old Piece Of Wood (Live) - Graeme Connors

[00:00:14] My daddy was a farmer a simple man

[00:00:17] Quick with his mind and good with his hands

[00:00:20] A real hard worker with a soft side too

[00:00:22] Never made a lot of money but he made do

[00:00:25] And I can well remember after supper each night

[00:00:28] He'd sit on the front porch smoking his pipe

[00:00:31] Take a piece of timber and whittle away

[00:00:34] And there'd be a surprise for us next day

[00:00:37] A sailing boat or a wooden gun

[00:00:40] A doll for my sister a comb for my mom

[00:00:43] We were all amazed at the way he could

[00:00:46] Make anything he wanted from an old piece of wood

[00:00:54] Well my thirteenth birthday was drawing near

[00:00:56] And as bad luck goes it was a real good year

[00:00:59] The weather went wrong the crops were poor

[00:01:02] And the banker was howling at our front door

[00:01:05] You know my friends and I'd just found rock n roll

[00:01:08] So I was hoping for a little pocket radio

[00:01:11] But when the big day finally came around

[00:01:14] My daddy said son don't want to let you down

[00:01:16] Though what I got for you not what you had in mind

[00:01:20] It's the best I could do in these hard times

[00:01:22] Then my eyes lit up when I understood

[00:01:25] What he'd made for me from an old piece of wood

[00:01:31] An old piece of wood carved real fine

[00:01:36] Some fencing wire and some fishing line

[00:01:42] And I had a guitar like Johnny.B.Goode

[00:01:48] Man I was proud of that old piece of wood

[00:02:20] Years have gone by and change gone down

[00:02:23] My daddy sold the farm and moved into town

[00:02:26] My little sister married and moved away

[00:02:29] My momma's hair turned silver grey

[00:02:32] A farmers life was not enough for me

[00:02:35] I had bigger plans for what to do and be

[00:02:38] So now I make my living travelling the land

[00:02:41] Picking hot guitar in a country band

[00:02:44] And many a time when I'm up on the stage

[00:02:46] I think of my daddy and the present he gave me

[00:02:49] Though I don't see him as much as I should

[00:02:52] I thank him every night for that old piece of wood

[00:02:57] An old piece of wood carved real fine

[00:03:03] Some fencing wire and some fishing line

[00:03:09] I had a guitar I was Johnny.B.Goode

[00:03:15] Man I was proud of that old piece of wood

[00:03:22] An old piece of wood carved real fine

[00:03:27] Some fencing wire and some fishing line

[00:03:33] And I had a guitar I wish Johnny.B.Goode

[00:03:39] I built my life on an old piece of wood
