Bacon Brothers - Old Guitars Lyrics

Send "Old Guitars" ringtone to your cell

She gave me an old guitar

She said teach yourself to play

You've been lookin kind of bored

Maybe this will fill your days

She went out and I stayed in

And I struggled with that thing

She went west and I stayed east

And I tried my best to sing

And I sang Sam and Dave and Catch that Wave

The Boss and Buddy Holly

And every happy song I sang sounded melancholy

I learned C and G And D and E

And F and F sharp minor

And in my mind when she walked out

I'd gone to Carolina

And I went

Do do do, do do do do, do do do do, do do do

Do do do, do do do do, do do do do, do do do

Hearts can break just like a string

Old guitars can't fix a string

I Put that Martin in it's case

With the memory of her face

Where it stayed to gather dust

And I waited for someone to trust

I couldn't stand to twist and shout

Not too much to sing about

No more Dave Clark Five, Four Seasons, Three Dog Night, Too Hot to Handle

Even Mozart leaves me cold and Brahms and Bach and Handel

Creedance, Creech, and Croce could not get my heart a pumpin

Jimmy Smack would not come back

Jack Flash wasn't jumpin'

And no more

Do do do, do do do do, do do do do, do do do

Do do do, do do do do, do do do do, do do do

Fifteen years have come and gone

And my wife hands me this old ax

She said I want to hear you play

Watch your face as you relax

He got six more shiny strings

And you got me alone tonight

Stroke that neck and think of me

Hold that guitar nice and tight

And I sang Don and Phil, Fool on the Hill, The Band, and Van and Lyle

But every sad sad song I sang I sang with a smile

I learned Marvin Gaye, Dock of the Bay, the Spinners, and the Blue Notes

Goffin, King, and Boyce and Heart, and even some that I wrote.

And I went

Do do do, do do do do, do do do do, do do do

Do do do, do do do do, do do do do, do do do

I feel fine, Patsy Cline, The king and Sting and Bonnie

Maybe we could harmonize just like June and Johnny

Zimmerman, The Glimmer Twins, and both Neils, Young and Diamond

Monkeys, Turtles, Drifters, Coasters, Jacksons, and the Osmonds.

One more time

Do do do, do do do do, do do do do, do do do

Do do do, do do do do, do do do do, do do do
