Six Strings Away Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Waylon Jennings) 

In days gone by but not forgotten 

I plowed in the fields and I pulled in the cotton 

Things you'd never think I've done when you see me now 

I pick and sing and they think I'm a star 

But every time I look down at my old guitar 

I know I'm just six strings away from that same ol' plow. 

I drive a new Royce Rolls 

Buy them tailor made clothes 

How long will good times stay 

A poor boy ways 

And hard time days 

Just six strings away.

I met a girl 'bout a year ago 

In a little country town where I played a show 

And though I love her I still wonder just what she'd do 

If I laid that old guitar down 

How long would she hang around? 

Or is she just six strings away from someone new.

Well, them six little strings 

Buy rings and good things 

But how long would she stay 

If she knew poor boy ways 

And and hard time days 

Just six strings away...
