Coe, David Allan - Piece Of Wood And Steel Lyrics
I can feel your arms around me
Like it was yesterday
I can feel your hearing next to me
And hear your laughter gay
You tried to tell me what was right
All I ever live for now
Is this piece of wood and steel
In a world that's full of trouble
A world that's full of pain
Lord, many fall beside the road
And they never rise again
Many more are bending low
Or broken at the wheel
All I need to carry on
I was born my mother's only son
She loves me all she can
But there isn't much to say to her
Since I became a man
And I often met the devil
But I never made a deal
I just thank the lord for hands to play
The piece of wood and steel
It's face is scarred and beaten
Like the ragged clothes I wear
Like the body that god gave me
I might give it better care
But I play it for the ladies
And I play it for a meal
I play the strings just to hear 'em ring
On this piece of wood and steel
I'm growing tired of searching now
There's nothing much I crave
Give or take a little time
And you can write it on my grave
There's nothing more I care to own
Nothing left to feel
All I ever wanted
Was this piece of wood and steel
In a world that's full of trouble
A world that's full of pain
Lord, many fall beside the road
And they never rise again
Many more are bending low
Or broken at the wheel
All I need to carry on
Is this piece of wood and steel
I was born my mother's only son
She loves me all she can
But there isn't much to say to her
Since I became a man
And I often met the devil
But I never made a deal
I just thank the lord for hands to play
The piece of wood and steel
I'll be playing this guitar till the day I die

Coe, David Allan Piece Of Wood And Steel Comments
Truly one of the greats!
He's still playin that guitar and touring at 80!! F$@& Yea David Allen!
Real DAC
So good
Written by the great Richard Dobson
Love this song
Great song..
One truly awesome song! Good job whoever wrote this one.
Richard Dobson. His is much less epic (in the poetic edda sense) and a more downpaced contemplative affair. DAC version is like a jack and coke around a campfire where as Dobson's is like warm scotch in a musty bar. Both great but one requires a little more age and grit to enjoy as much as the other.
If you are listening to this I love the fuck outta you!!!!
How bout you shut the fuck up and listen to the song
is he talking about a guitar/
Actually, yes he is. That's why I was listening to it. I play and it's one of favorite guitar songs. Got to see him play a lot back in the 1970's . This was his first album.
not his first album
