Rick Reger does the barrelhouse thing. Would love to have Randy Travis cover this one.
lyrics
PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
C-F-G
This old heart is a piece of equipment
Left in the rain over the weekend
Dropped in the soup at the Tidy Bowl restaurant
Back to the pot and the cook’s flicking ashes
A
Em A
But youwouldn’t want to know about that
Em A
Not your idea of chewing the fat
Dm Am G
But ho-ney, I got nothing else to do
C-F-G
These old hands are shakin and shrinking
Barely holding the glass that they’re drinking
Picking a nose that can’t take no more
My face wrinkled up like an unsettled score
A Em A
But you don’t wanna hear about it
Em A
I made the bed were agreed on that
Dm Am G
All I wanted was a chance at perfection
Dm Am G
didn’t give a rat’s about any affection
A# – D#
And if we stacked upery single song
A# D#
Where the man realizes, what he done wrong
C# A#
That’s the biggest collection, of liars on the planet
C F C G
Outdone only by the la-dies who’ve bought it
C-F -G
This old huse is so full of infection
My dog Lou can’t even get a connection
He sits outside and howls at the grass
I let him inside and he chews out my ass
A Em A
And even he still talks about you
Em A
Looks at me like you did it to you
Dm Am G
All that I wanted was a chance at perfection
Dm -Am G
