Lil'Z Country - Six String Shout Lyrics

I got my first string, the kid in the log house
Strummed a couple chords and it all turned around
Those strings spoke to me in a language so true
In that moment I knew what I was meant to do

Every note I played, I found a piece of me
From the back porch blues to the rolling country
The old songs of the legends, they paved my way
Taught me to sing and how to play

This is my sixth string shout to the ones who came before the pickers
And the strummers who opened the door
With every strum I feel the spirit come alive
This is the heart of the sixth string and music survives

This is my sixth string shout where my soul takes flight
From Cash to Clapton and everything between
They carved out the path and I'm living the dream
Their licks and riffs are the roots of my sound

And every song I write, their echoes are found
With every note I played, I found a piece of me
From the back porch blues to the rolling country
The old songs of the legends, they paved my way

Taught me to sing and how to play
With every note I played, I found a piece of me
From the back porch blues to the rolling country
The old songs of the legends, they paved my way

Taught me to sing and how to play
This is my sixth string shout to the ones who came before the pickers
And the strummers who opened the door
With every strum I feel the spirit come alive

In the heart of the sixth string and music survives
This is my sixth string shout where my soul takes flight
Played my first gig on a Friday night
In a dusty old bar under neon lights

With every chord I hit, I felt their hand
Guiding my own in a honky-tonk band
Years have passed and I've found my way
But I still feel them there every time I play

The songs are the strings that tie us tight
To the love of the music and the joy of the night
This is my sixth string shout to the ones who came before the pickers
And the strummers who opened the door

This is my sixth string shout to the ones who came before the pickers
And the strummers who opened the door
With every strum I feel the spirit come alive
In the heart of the sixth string and music survives

This is my sixth string shout where my soul takes flight
Pass it on to the next in line
Teaching them the chords, letting their light shine
With every note they play, the circle grows

And the love for the sixth string forever flows
So here's to the sixth string, my faithful friend
With you by my side, the journey won't end
This is my sixth string shout to the past and the new

In every song, their legacy shines through
This is my sixth string shout, playing loud and clear
For the love of the music and the ones I hold dear
