The Night Gretsch Roared Live

Steel guitar cryin', bass thumpin' low, neon buzzin' through the smoky show

Crowded bar, faces in a haze, singin' our hearts out in a whiskey daze

Midway through a twangy tune, a voice cuts through the saloon

"Mind if I join y'all for a song or two? Got a Gretsch itchin' to wail with you."

He stumbled up, swayed like a willow in the breeze, hair a mess, clothes lookin' like a rodeo's knees

But when he held that Gretsch, a fire in his eyes, a melody bloomed beneath the starry night skies

We handed him a mic, a little wary of the plan

But the first note he picked, it blew us off our stand

Fingers flew across the fretboard, a story in each bend

A hidden soul unleashed, a musician without end
