Shoestrings and Duct Tape
Intro lick
then Verse1
Daddy had to sell the farm, it just wasnt payin like it used to
And Ma took a job at the diner, serving breakfast until 2
They moved to a house, near the edge of town, that aint so clean
Theres broken windows, a broken doorknob, and a few broken dreams
Pre Chorus
Daddy always said, when things start falling apart
youve got to pick up the pieces, and work with what youve got
Chorus1
If youve got Shoestrings and Duct tape, you can hold it all together
Baseball games and birthday cake can make it all feel better
Its the little things in life, that help us to endure
And what holds it all together, is in the kitchen drawer
If youve got Shoestrings and Duct tape
Intro lick
then Verse2
The folks right down the street, can barely pay the rent
Maybe all over, things really aint much different
Problems come, life gets tough, so it seems
Theres broken families, broken hearts, and a few broken dreams
Pre Chorus2, Chorus2 then
Bridge
Its tough to get by, in this world
But you dont need shiny diamonds, or big old fancy pearls if you got
Chorus3 has breakdowns and drawn out riffs 1st 2x
Shoestrings and Duct Tape, (drawn out riffs?)
Baseball games and Birthday cake (drawn out riffs?)
Its the little things in life, that help us all endure
What holds it all together is in the kitchen drawer
If you got Shoestrings and Duct Tape
Chorus 4 is Normal and Big? then intro lick out
