[00:09.00]
[00:12.97]I was walking the streets of Nashville
[00:18.71]Seemed like a good place to start
[00:23.97]I found me a job as a shingler's helper
[00:28.59]It was August and it was hot
[00:35.16]They were hiring in the city
[00:38.87]Put a new roof on the Rhyman Auditorium
[00:44.23]I guess God smiled down on this picker
[00:49.22]This was as close to show business
[00:51.98]I had come
[00:53.73]
[00:57.69]Well, Lord, it got too hot to hammer
[01:02.75]The hide was torn off of both knees
[01:08.61]I'd sweat 'til I just about passed out
[01:13.05]I sat down poured me some ice tea
[01:19.67]When I noticed him looking
[01:23.51]From underneath
[01:24.89]An Ace Hardware Company hat
[01:30.20]You look like you could use a helpin' hand
[01:33.88]In a way that's kinda where I'm at
[01:37.77]
[01:39.28]And humbly walking out from his garden
[01:44.08]He said "How'd you like to try and get your star''
[01:49.04]Why choose me among all of these pickers
[01:56.61]From just an old man
[01:59.24]Just from the kindness of his heart
[02:03.85]
[02:13.04]Well, I told him that I was a songwriter
[02:17.85]New in town by way of Baton Rouge
[02:23.86]I felt like a flame on it's last flicker
[02:28.55]He smiled and said "Sometimes dreams come true''
[02:35.06]Take your tools and give them to your foreman
[02:38.56]Grab your songs and follow me
[02:44.02]It ain't far to the stars if you walk fast
[02:49.32]And he offered
[02:50.56]"Do you know what I mean''
[02:53.20]
[02:54.64]And humbly walking out from his garden
[02:59.19]He said "How'd you like to try and get your star''
[03:04.33]Why choose me among all of these pickers
[03:11.70]From just an old man
[03:14.20]Just from the kindness of his heart
[03:18.46]
[03:28.40]Well, he'd helped one or two to get started
[03:32.59]Patsey Cline, Hank Williams and his son
[03:38.09]And the Beatles were often now his favorite
[03:42.91]Don't forget every choir in every nation
[03:49.54]So he sat me up an audition
[03:53.15]Now audition is a funny word to sing
[03:58.23]Still you know
[04:00.10]Because we're all just pickers
[04:03.54]Some like me Missin' one or two guitar strings
[04:07.53]
[04:09.23]And humbly walking out from His garden
[04:13.92]He said "How'd you like to try and get your star''
[04:18.61]Why choose me among all of these pickers
[04:26.20]From just an old man
[04:28.88]Just from the kindness of his heart
[04:33.50]
[05:25.61]So they hired me on at the Opry
[05:30.61]It's steady and it sure pays the rent
[05:35.79]And the country music fans
[05:38.42]Are brilliant in themselves
[05:42.11]And I love air conditionin'
[05:47.37]When I look back from the window
[05:51.07]Of the custom bus I'm headin' for Detroit in
[05:56.18]I thank God for all of His kindness
[06:01.56]And sending to help me that old man
[06:04.81]
[06:06.82]And humbly walking out from His garden
[06:11.37]He said "How'd you like to try and get your star''
[06:16.32]Why choose me among all of these pickers
[06:26.46]From just an old man
[06:29.20]Just from the kindness of his heart
