This old guitar is just like me
Full of dust and old memories
It might be a little broken and a little out of tune
But if you give it some love it just might
Write a song for you
This old guitar is just like me
Full of sand and salt from the sea
Sometimes it sounds heartbroken sometimes happy as a fool
Sometimes it sings a love song and sometimes
It sings the blues
But that sound that sweet old sound
Keeps the bottle half full and the demons at bay
It taught my heart how to love, how to give, and not to take
Through the worst of days and the darkest of nights
Through the beautiful moments, the best times of my life
It was right there by my side
This old guitar is just like me
From Tulsa to Yosemite
It's seen mountains and plains
It's seen those rare desert rains
From Tomales Bay to that
Nashville stage
This old guitar is just like me
Singing songs that it probably shouldn't sing
It ain't no Taylor or Martin, it ain't no J-45
And I sure as hell know, well
I aint no dime.
But that sound that sweet old sound
Keeps the bottle half full and the demons at bay
It taught my heart how to love, how to give, and not to take
Through the worst of the days and the darkest of nights
Through the beautiful moments, the best times of my life
It was right there by my side
This old guitar is just like me
Full of dust and old memories
It might be a little broken and a little out of tune
But if you give it some love it just might
Write a song for you
