Lyrics

Been runnin' around, seen many a town So maybe you'll find I'm the kind of guy to brag But listen to me and see, if you don't agree No melody rolls like that old steel guitar rag. And when they slide that thing along the strings It sounds so doggone heavenly, you hear an angel sing An' when you start your feet, your heart will beat The rhythm to that old steel guitar rag. You may be kind choosy 'bout the kind of songs you hear You may like songs that's bluesy, so you cry right in your beer But if you like a tune that's bound to drive away your care Make happy your soul with that old steel guitar rag.
