Star Guitar B. Goode

I had the great privilege of watching today’s races with Chuck Berry. As expected, he had many profound things to say, but what he told me after the Louisiana Champions Day Classic was way too cool to keep to myself. Deep down Louisiana in old New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a racetrack made of earth and tar Where lived a country horse named Star Guitar Who never ever learned to read or write so well But he could win some races just like a ringing a bell Go go Go Star Guitar go Go Go Star Guitar go Go Go Star Guitar go Go Go Star Guitar go Go Star Guitar is Good He used to carry his jockey like a gunny sack Go graze beneath the tree by the railroad track Oh, the other trainers would see him working in the shade Running with the rhythm that his four hooves made People at the races they would stop for fun Oh my that little country horse could run Go go Go Star Guitar go Go Go Star Guitar go Go Go Star Guitar go Go Go Star Guitar go Go Star Guitar is Good His mother told him "Someday you will be a star, And you will be the leader of the race by far. Many people coming from miles around To see him win before the sun go down Maybe someday your name will be in lights Saying Star Guitar runs tonight." Go go Go Star Guitar go Go Go Star Guitar go Go Go Star Guitar go Go Go Star Guitar go Go Star Guitar is Good
