"Pieces " - by Jim McPeak

Fast traditional Texas country honky-tonk, 116 BPM, Key of G Major, driving fast two-step dancehall groove, rich tenor lead vocal with heavy Texas twang, crying fast twin fiddles, weeping pedal steel, twangy Telecaster lead licks, honky-tonk piano, acoustic rhythm guitar, tight walking bass, vintage dry analog mix, no finger snapping, no clapping, no church choir.

We're bound to cross paths on this dance floor tonight,

Chasing down melodies under neon light.

A piece of a memory, a piece of a song,

Just providing the comfort of where we belong.

You can hold a shiny piece of gold,

And that feeling may never get old.

You can always give a piece of your mind,

You can enjoy a nice piece of pie.

You can offer a friend a piece of advice,

And pick up the pieces whenever they cry.

The only piece of true value, right from the very start,

Is when that girl gives you a big piece of her heart.

Out in our corner where the world fades away,

Laughing right through the trials of yesterday.

With every sweet step and each memory we share,

This little haven proves how much we care.

You can hold a shiny piece of gold,

And that feeling may never get old.

You can always give a piece of your mind,

You can enjoy a nice piece of pie.

You can offer a friend a piece of advice,

And pick up the pieces whenever they cry.

The only piece of true value, right from the very start,

Is when that girl gives you a big piece of her heart.

Life is a puzzle with pieces untold,

Locking right in as the story unfolds.

Moments and memories, both large and small,

Building the masterpiece, greatest of all!

You can hold a shiny piece of gold,

And that feeling may never get old.

You can always give a piece of your mind,

You can enjoy a nice piece of pie.

You can offer a friend a piece of advice,

And pick up the pieces whenever they cry.

The only piece of true value, right from the very start,

Is when that girl gives you a big piece of her heart.

You can enjoy your piece of mind.

You can enjoy a nice piece of pie.

You can hold that piece of gold real high.

Take a piece of advice and admire a piece of art,

But the only value is a piece of her heart.

(Fast twin fiddle turn-around and a sharp final stop)
