I found this old guitar at a pawn shop It was calling out my name I had no idea where it came from Or the last time it'd been played I said, "Mister, can you tell me" "A little somethin' about its life?" He said, "It's been in here for five days now" "Pawned by some songwriter's wife" She said, "It's laughed and it's cried" "It's loved and it's lied" "It's had its heart broken one too many times" "Closed down every bar it's ever gone into" "And every song it plays leaves you feeling blue" I said, "Honestly" "That old guitar sure sounds like me"
From the moment that I held it I knew I'd found a friend Something I could count on to be there Right 'til the very end I put it in the front seat Couldn't wait to get back home For the first time in a long time I didn't feel alone You see I've laughed and I've cried I've loved and I've lied I've had my heart broken One too many times Closed down every bar I've ever gone into And every song I play Leaves me feeling blue I'll tell you honestly This old guitar sure sounds like me ♪ You see I've laughed and I've cried I've loved and I've lied I've had my heart broken One too many times Closed down every bar I've ever gone into And every song I play Leaves me feeling blue I'll tell you honestly This old guitar's been a good friend to me This old guitar's been a good friend to me This old guitar's been a good friend to me
