Ode To Chet
Written by - Clint Black & Hayden Nicholas
From - Nothin' But the Taillights
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
An' I'll oblige her anyway I can

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

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

Recognize any of those?
Oh, yeah
There's so many people in there
And they're so good
Recognize that lick you taught me?
That I stole from Jerry Lee?
You're not gonna take credit for that one?
No, I won't
I steal a lot of my material
I thought you'd always said you borrowed it
Well, I do
'Cause I forget
That's good
If you're gonna steal something
Forget where you got it
How's your dog?
Ah, he's not playin' guitar yet
Oh, okay
I know that's right
