Read My Licks

[Verse 1: Chet Atkins]
You know I... baby
Like the flowers love the rain
And I'd do anything...
'Til the sun comes up again
I've tried my best to tell you
But the words don't do the trick
I guess you'll have to read my licks

[Verse 2: Steve Wariner & Chet Atkins]
When I... this morning
(Steve?)
I had a sweet dream on my mind
(I thought I fired you?)
I tried to... honey
But I couldn't get you on the line
(Wait a minute, she's my girl)
So I wrote this note to send you
The stamp it wouldn't stick
So, I guess you'll have to read my licks
Your turn, Chet

[Verse 3: Chet Atkins]
I let my fingers do the talking
When my tongue gets tied
'Cause when I see you walking
I get... inside

[Verse 4: Steve Wariner & Chet Atkins]
You'd be my one and only
If I only had my pick
(Is that a straight pick or a thumb pick?)
(That's a thumber)
And you'd see how much I...
If you could read my licks
(Speaking of licks)

[Verse 5: Chet Atkins & Steve Wariner]
(Hey, Steve)
When I get her to the chapel
I'm going to have to bring my box
(That's right)
And when the preacher asks...
(Just gonna have to let that guitar talk, Chet)
(I guess so)

[Verse 6: Steve Wariner]
But I'll tell her all my troubles after we get hitched
'Til then she'll have to read my licks

[Verse 7: Chet Atkins]
And I'll you all me... after we get hitched
'Til then you'll have to read my licks
Let's play some licks
