Hal Ketchum – My Friend The Carpenter lyrics
My friend the carpenter
grew up in New York
Nailing boards for a living
driving an old Ford pickup
Living under the stars
down by the river
In a teepee
across from the trolley tracks where we partied
Strumming a guitar
to keep warm
Who ever knew
we were chasing dreams
Years went by
until he answered his call
Singing his song
about our hometown Saturday nite
He saw Nashville...
Hal the singer
made it to the bigtime
Hosting the Opry
singing his country songs
My friend the carpenter
down by the river
Saw the Light
(Happy Birthday Hal)
your old friend Len
