Steel Guitar Heaven Ry Cooder

[Verse 1]
Oh well, I want to go to steel guitar heaven
That's the only resting place for me
I want to go to steel guitar heaven
There's a lot of swinging cats I been wanting to see
Like Joaquin Murphy and Jimmy Day
I'll shake hands with Speedy and shout hooray
That's steel guitar heaven to me

[Verse 2]
I heard about steel guitar heaven
I'm going when I die
I heard Paul Bixby's been waiting
He's got something new that he wants me to try
Turns itself on, tells you a joke
It lights you a drink and pours you a smoke
Paul, I don't think it's ready!
That's steel guitar heaven to me

[Spoken interlude]
Well, folks, I think the good Lord must love steel players. You know, He's made so many of 'em. And matter of fact, He's still trying

But the good Lord knows that the steel player's life on Earth isn't often easy. So He's set aside a little corner of Heaven, custom made, just for you

First thing you'll notice, there's always plenty of courteous free parking. And don't it just seem like that old triple-neck ain't near as heavy as it used to be?
