Luther Played Guitar
Now we were young and we were bold We were three out on the road Stayin' up all night and drivin' past the dawn Me and two from Tennessee, up in lights on that marquee From Folsom Prison to San Quentin, oh but now those days are gone His guitar was dark and deep, he played in the lower range Even now it sends a shiver up my spine He played a twangin' metal string, and his tone was round and strange He left too soon and no one's ever took his place inside my mind Luther, can you hear me where you are? I'm still out here on the road and travelin' so far Yeah, Luther? Yes, and I still miss the time, when we'd three play "Walk The Line" With Marshall on the bass, I sang And Luther played guitar Now my heart still skips a beat, when I look at that back seat And think back on those crazy times and one night stands And all through the early days, past the booze and pills and haze Oh, time just moves along and no one's left but God to understand Luther, can you hear me where you are? I still hear your guitar play at every honky-tonk and bar Letras de cancionesLuther? And late at night when I close my eyes I see black suits and bolo ties And Marshall on the bass, I sing And Luther plays guitar You ready, Luther? Luther, can you hear me where you are? Now we're sleepin' in this big jet plane instead of your old car Yeah, Luther? And while through this old world I roam, if the Lord should call me home Put Marshall on the bass, I'll sing And Luther play guitar From Letras Mania
