Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

Wood and Wire

Fame... A dream put off for the familys needs

He puts in eight down at the factory

When he gets home his feet are tired

If he had his way he'd been a workin'

With his hands on wood and wire

Saginaw spruce

Tennessee maple

Sears and Robuck

Black Diamond Strings

Late at night he fans that fire...

When he grabs a hold of that wood and wire

Days... years... his dream just disappeared

They never once heard him complainin'

Their every wish is his desire

And without them he might have made it

With his hands on wood and wire...

Saginaw spruce

Tennessee maple

Sears and Robuck

Black Diamond Strings

Late at night he fans that fire...

When he grabs hold of that wood and wire

If u ask him... he will tell u...

That he don't have no regrets

Then he'll take his calloused fingers

And let 'em fly across those frets

Saginaw spruce

Tennessee maple

Sears and Robuck

Black Diamond Strings

Late a night he fans that fire

When he grabs a hold of that wood and wire

Late a night he fans that fire

When he grabs a hold of that wood and wire...
