Clint Black - Ode To Chet Lyrics

When I bought this guitar it had brand new strings
Brand new strap, all those things
Brand new picks both thumb and flat
All the elementary things like that

I went ahead and took it everywhere I went
Couldn't count the hours that I must have spent
I heard the girl was lookin' for a guitar man
And I'll oblige her any way I can

'Cause I can win her over
Like Romeo and Juliet
If I can only show her
I can learn to pick that legato lick like Chet

It'll take more than Mel Bay 1, 2, and 3
If I'm ever gonna play like CGP
My legato is staccato but what I don't fret
Is droppin' any note that I don't get

'Cause I can win her over
Like Romeo and Juliet
If I can only show her
I can learn to pick that legato lick like Chet

I can win her over
Like Romeo and Juliet
If I can only show her
I can almost pick that legato lick like Chet

Recognize any of those?
Oh yeah, so many people in there and they're so good
Recognize that lick you taught me?
Hahaha, that I stole from Jerry Reed, haha
You're not gonna take credit for that one?
No, I won't, I won't, I steal a lot of my material
Yeah, I thought you always said you borrowed it?
Well I do but, 'cause I forget
That's good if you're gonna steal something forget where you got it
Haha, that's right
How's your dog?
Oh, he's not playing guitar yet
Oh, okay, I know that's right
