Lyrics by Tony Harris (a tribute to a SoundCloud friend)
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem

MAMA ORDERED A SILVERTONE GUITAR
SEARS AND ROEBUCK BACK IN THE DAY
ELVIS WAS A BIG BIG STAR
ROCK N ROLL WAS HERE TO STAY

LOVED COUNTRY ROCK AND ROLL
COULDN'T WAIT TO LEARN TO PLAY
SORE FINGERS TOOK IT'S TOLL
DECIDED TO LEARN ANYWAY

(CHORUS)
SOMETIMES LIFE'S REWARDS
NOT IN THE CARDS
A SILVETONE GUITAR
WITH BLACK DIAMOND STRINGS
WANT MAKE YOU A STAR
WANT MAKE YOU A STAR

WAS IN THE SUMMERTIME
AFTER BREAKIN' SEVERAL STRINGS
HE WENT TO THE LOCAL FIVE AND DIME
BOUGHT HIMSELF SOME BLACK DIAMOND STRINGS

HIS DADDY WAS A PREACHER MAN
HELPED HIM TO LEARN TO PLAY
DREAMED ABOUT PLAYIN' IN A BAND
HE WAS SOON ON HIS WAY

(CHORUS)

(GUITAR SOLO)

(CHORUS)

PLAYED THE NIGHT CLUBS AND STAGE SHOWS
WELL OVER THIRTY FIVE YEARS
BEFORE HE CAME TO HIS SENSES
THE ANSWER TO HIS MAMA'S PRAYERS

(CHORUS)
