When I Could pick Like Chet
Brother, when I could pick like Chet
I saw the world begin to change
and every heart ever broken apart
found a bright and open stage
Sister, when I could play like him
every roll of the dice would win
and every long and twisting road
was short and straight again
< chorus >
children, when the master lived in me
I felt like I was set free
I laid all my burdens down
to that warm country sound
Brother, when I could pick like Chet
there wasn't a note I could forget
there was a groove that no one could lose
we all played a perfect set
