Washburn Wager

Intro

Oh Lord

Hmm

Verse 1

Crossroads cut through red clay

Me and my Washburn held him at bay

Iron strings snapped like a whip

Tightened my grip

Pre-Chorus

Black smoke rising up high

I saw the fire in his eye

Took his soul by surprise

Chorus

He couldn't match my rhythm

No he couldn't match my rhythm

Hammer on the hollow wood

I did what no one else could

Won the wager with a slide

Nothing left for him to hide

Verse 2

Sulfur smelling like a scorched tire

He couldn't quench the cold desire

Wicked hand shaking on the frets

Paid his debts

Pre-Chorus

Black smoke rising up high

I saw the fire in his eye

Took his soul by surprise

Chorus

He couldn't match my rhythm

No he couldn't match my rhythm

Hammer on the hollow wood

I did what no one else could

Won the wager with a slide

Nothing left for him to hide

Bridge

Told me he owned the wind

Told me he owned the rain

Told me he owned the pain

But he lost to a common man

Chorus

He couldn't match my rhythm

No he couldn't match my rhythm

Hammer on the hollow wood

I did what no one else could

Won the wager with a slide

Nothing left for him to hide

Post-Chorus

Washburn sang out

Lord it sang out

Beaten at the bend

Winning at the end
