Jim Morris Hallowood Jones lyrics

I was playing in this road house
About to take the stage
When I saw this drunken stranger standing there
He shook my hand said I'm a guitar man
By the name of Hallowood Jones
He said that's Hallowood just like in the prayer
Would you let me play along
I know everybody's songs
I can play it hot and fast and loud and clean
Before I could tell him no
He opened up his case
He had the finest looking axe I've ever seen

He said I love this old guitar I can't replace her
Then he slammed a fine tequila with a moonshine
chaser
He said hold on it's a long song
I gotta play it till I feel it in my bones
I said alright we've got all night
Let me hear you play that guitar Mr. Jones

The crowd was nearly hypnotized
As he blasted out his song
And I saw them stunned bedazzled shocked and dazed
And I was truly humbled
As I tried to play along
Astounded and astonished and amazed


He said I love this old guitar I can't replace her
Then he slammed some more tequila with a
moonshine chaser
He said hold on it's a long song
I gotta play it till I feel it in my bones
I said alright we've got all night
Let me hear you play that guitar Mr. Jones

It was early in the morning
When the final note was played
A big pile of happy people on the floor
He said I'm sober enough to know
That I'm way too drunk to drive
He packed his case and he walked on out the door

He said I love this old guitar I can't replace her
Then he slammed some more tequila with a
moonshine chaser
He said hold on it's a long song
I gotta play it till I feel it in my bones
I said alright we've got all night
Let me hear you play that guitar Mr. Jones
Let me hear you play that guitar Mr. Jones
Hallowood be thy name, Mr. Jones
