SOUND OF THE DOBRO

LONG LONGAGO IN MY TEENAGE YEARS
ROCK 'N' ROLL WAS TRULY MY THING
THEN ONE DAY MY EARS WERE AWOKEN
A NEW SOUND WAS MAKING ME SING
I HEARD SOMETHING CALLED COUNTRY MUSIC
THE SOUNDS I HEARD WERE HARD TO BEAT
NOW IT'S JIVIN' HONKY TONK RHYTHM
IS HERE TO GET ME ON MY FEET

(CHORUS)

SOMETIMES THERE'S THAT OL' PEDAL STEEL
MAYBE A BANJO OR FIDDLE
BUT IT'S THE SOUND OF THE DOBRO
THAT FOR ME HOLDS SUCH HUGH APPEAL
TO ME IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NOISE
OH YEH THE SOUND OF THE DOBRO
DELIVERING A DEPTH AND FEEL
THAT IT ALONE CAN DRIVE ON HOME
OH YEH THE SOUND OF THE DOBRO

JERRY DOUGLAS'S CHANGING CHANNELS
WAS THE FIRST SONG TO STRIKE A CHORD
FROM THAT FIRST SPIN ON MY TURNTABLE
LET ME TELL YOU I WAS FLOORED
IT GOT ME WRAPPED UP IN THE WHOLE THING
NOT MUCH ELSE MAKES ME FEEL THE SAME
IT SPENT YEARS LURKING IN THE DISTANCE
READY TO POUNCE AND STAKE IT'S CLAIM

(CHORUS)

(SOLO)

IT JUST HAS ONE OF THE SWEETEST SOUNDS
THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD ELSEWHERE
WHEN I HEARD WHAT IT HAD TO OFFER
IT CAUGHT ME TIGHT WITHIN IT SNARE
THESE DAYS I OFTEN SIT AND WONDER
HOW I IGNORED IT FOR SO LONG
CAUSE THERE'S ONE THING THAT'S FOR CERTAIN
IT HAS A RHYTHM THAT'S SO STRONG

(CHORUS X 2)

YEH! YEH! THE SOUND OF THE DOBRO

(REPEAT TILL FADE)
