Hand Me Something With a Soul

Verse 1

Well I pulled in the lot at the Broken Spur

Some fella had a speaker and a laptop on the bar

No fiddle no steel just a hum and a click

Sounded like a tractor with a busted carburetor

He said boy this here is the future of sound

I said buddy that ain't music that's a microwave frown

Chorus

Y'all can keep your robot songs

I want a Telecaster and a room that's wrong

Keep your robot songs

I want a woman hollering back the whole night long

Ain't nobody ever cried in a truck to a machine

Keep your robot songs and hand me something with a soul in between

Verse 2

My cousin loads playlists off a screen all day

Don't know a single word that the singer didn't say

He told me Hank was old news and out of style

I told him son go sit a spell and listen for a while

Machines don't miss nobody

Machines don't get the blues

They just spit out pretty noise in a pair of borrowed shoes

Chorus

So y'all can keep your robot songs

I want a Telecaster and a room that's wrong

Keep your robot songs

I want a woman hollering back the whole night long

Ain't nobody ever cried in a truck to a machine

Keep your robot songs and hand me something with a soul in between

Bridge

I'll take a busted string and a cracked old amp

Over a perfect little program in a perfect little camp

Give me wrong notes give me heartbreak

Give me something somebody had to make

Chorus

Y'all can keep your robot songs

I want a Telecaster and a room that's wrong

Keep your robot songs

I want a woman hollering back the whole night long

Ain't nobody ever cried in a truck to a machine

Keep your robot songs and hand me something with a soul in between

Post-Chorus

Keep your robot songs

Keep your robot songs

Hey hey hey

Keep your robot songs
