I'M Steeling Memories- Pedal Steel Guitar

Please don't take 
What's not yours
Because I need it

And don't think 
Your welcome to
What is mine

I've worked hard 
Earning all
These sad feelings

And I'm steeling memories and time

I'm steeling memories
One string at a time
It cries out with heartache
It bends and it whines

This old Emmons pulls
And it pushes real fine
So please take your memories
Cause I'm steeling mine

Tomorrow she said
I would be 
Over her

That pain goes away
And So does the hurt
But I know
the reason 
I love rhythms and rhyme

It's because
I steel memories
One note at a time

I'm steeling memories
One string at a time
It cries out with heartache
It bends and it whines

My old Marlen pulls
and releases with time
The heartaches and sadness
That still live
In my mind

I sat down at my 10 string
Grabbed my pedal and slide
I used my many heartaches
To make each of them cry

So please don't you steal
What I feel is mine

As I pour out the heartache
On that E9

Don't feel for my heartache
Cause I'll be just fine
I'm steeling memories.....
Cause you'll never be mine...
