What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Helpin' my friend Alex unload his rented truck
2
A score spent in the city hadn't changed him all that much
3
Laughin' 'bout the silly things men never throw away
4
Like this red four buckle over shoe, hope to find the left someday
5
Then underneath an underwood in a chest too big to lift
6
Was a dusty old black leather case and I realized what I'd missed
7
I hollered at old Alex, "Time to pay for all our help!"
8
So he strapped on that old Mastertone and this is what he yelled
9
(Chorus)
10
Funny thing about pickin', You never really do forget
11
Then he cut loose on his five-string and he never missed a lick
12
Pretty soon our toes were tappin' out the rhythm on the floor
13
Of a rented Rider truck box underneath the roll up door
14
(Banjo instrumental)
15
Neighbors gathered 'round the lift gate like the grand ol' opry's stage
16
I stood proudly by my best friend as they all looked so amazed
17
Then he cut loose with another and he sent our hearts to space
18
Just a rented truck box but at the time there weren't no better place
19
Neither beer nor whiskey nor those home-grown cigarettes
20
Ever made me feel so happy as the day I found that chest
21
With the five-string Gibson Mastertone so elegantly held
22
By the master of the art form, my friend Alex when he yelled
23
(Chorus)
24
(Banjo instrumental)
