When I get home I'm going to pick up that old guitar bass of mine And take it for a walking down a bass line I'll take my girl and show her How to make up for lost time when I get home And pick up that old guitar bass of mine When I get back We'll make up for the loving that we lack I'll tell you about my traveling down a railroad track I know you turn to leave is coming I hoe you can pack, I'll still be playing That same old guitar bass when you get back When you are gone I'll play this song to keep me warm I'll play this song and it'll mend me when I'll torn So if you feel a cold wind blow And have no shelter from the storm Remember this song to keep you warm
