Six strings seen every town Beat up in shout full of ups and downs My daddy gave me that fifty eight Hmmm one strum and I was hooked He lend me some songs in his soul ohh Late at night I still hear him say You learn one thing before I'm gone The whole damn world can change With just a little song So sing it from the heart like you mean it oh Keep playing that guitar until they feel it Do it 'coz you loving me maybe one day you'll get lucky Don't you ever do it for the girls or the money No matter where you are oh ohh hoo Sing it from the heart At twenty one I hit the road Some know it all and nobody knows I never did call home enough When I miss mom and dad getting old Whenever I'm ready for when they go And now I can't call home enough Did know my knees tried to write of my loss And line by line realized what he was saying all along Was sing it from the heart Like you mean it Oh keep playing that guitar Until they feel it And do it 'coz you're lovin' Maybe one day you'll get lucky Don't you ever do it for the girls or the money No matter where you are oh ohh hoo Sing it from the heart Sing it from the heart Ho ohh ohh ohh hooo Ho ohh ohh ohh hooo Do it 'coz you're lovin' Maybe one day you'll get lucky Don't you ever do it for the girls or the money And no matter where you are oh ohh hoo Sing it from the heart
