lyrics

This old piece of wood
That used to be a tree
This old piece of wood
That was handed down to me

Oh I bet this one has seen
a many of a memory
Like Christmas time at Grandma's
I can't believe it made its way to me

This old piece of wood
That used to be a tree
I'm so glad it found its way
Found its way to me

Well I hope I play it good
Like Grandma played for me
She'd play that A7 with the G
And Pappy made me go shake the pecan tree

This old piece of wood
I'm so glad it found its way
Found its way to me

This old piece of wood
Weren't meant to be a broom
This old piece of wood
You know it calls my name from across the room

This old piece of wood
Has seen many of a gospel tune
Like That Old Rugged Cross
Yeah I believe in that wood too

This old piece of wood
That used to be a tree
I'm so glad it found its way
Found its way to me

Well I hope I play it good
Like Grandma played for me
She'd play that A7 with the G
And Pappy made me go shake the pecan tree

This old piece of wood
That used to be a tree
I'm so glad it found its way
Found its way to me
