Wood And Wire Lyrics - George Jones

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 

Chorus: 

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. 

Chorus: 

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

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...
