Luther Played Guitar

Now we were young and we were bold
 We were three out on the road
 Stayin' up all night and drivin' past the dawn
 Me and two from tennessee, up in lights on that marquee
 From folsom prison to san quentin, oh but now those days are gone
 His guitar was dark and deep, he played in the lower range
 Even now it sends a shiver up my spine
 He played a twangin' metal string, and his tone was round and strange
 He left too soon and no one's ever took his place inside my mind
 Luther, can you hear me where you are?
 I'm still out here on the road and travelin' so far
 Yeah luther?
 Yes, and I still miss the time, when we'd three play "walk the line"
 With marshall on the bass, I sang
 And luther played guitar
 Now my heart still skips a beat, when I look at that back seat
 And think back on those crazy times and one night stands
 And all through the early days, past the booze and pills and haze
 Oh, time just moves along and no one's left but God to understand
 Luther, can you hear me where you are?
 I still hear your guitar play at every honkey tonk and bar
 Yeah luther?
 And late at night when I close my eyes I see black suits and bolo ties
 And marshall on the bass, I sing
 And luther played guitar
 Luther, can you hear me where you are?
 Now we're sleepin' in this big jet plane instead of your old car
 Yeah luther?
 And while through this old world I roam, if the lord should call me home
 Put marshall on the bass, I'll sing
 And luther play guitar
