lyrics
As I sidle up to the bar
And I notice the stage from afar
The glint of those 10 steel strings
Catches my eye
And since my heart is a-breaking
And my soul is just aching
I say to that steel-man…
Make it cry [C] [G]
Chorus:
Make it cry… make it cry
Until there’s a tear in every dry eye
Make it cry… don’t ask why
Just hear my plea, set us all free
Make it cry
I raise my glass to the band
I have to give them a hand
For helping me drown out my thoughts,
And sating my sorrow (UNUSED And my sorrows as well (to boot?) )
These past few days I’ve been hurting
So tell that fiddle I’m yearning
To feel the pull of the rosin... on that bow
Repeat chorus
I’m feeling lost and unsure (alone)
Like everyone else has before
Sometimes a good tune is all I need to get by
So I tell that ... guitar-man
To tune up and strike up the band
“Come on guitar-man, make it cry…“
