Guitar (For Guy Clark) |
Just an old guitar swinging in the window of a five and dime |
And I knew we’d be together for the rest of time |
So I ran home and begged on both my knees |
From my folks to set it free |
There’s a feeling in this world I can’t describe |
Like only the bird knows how it feels to fly |
And when that guitar hit my hand |
It was flying I understand |
Runnin around thick as thieves |
Was the story of that old guitar and me |
A boy so easy inspired |
By wood and glue, steel and wire |
Now, I hope this old guitar remembers the song |
The one that kept me holding on |
Hold her right you’ll hear that sound |
My old friend won’t let you down |
I think back now to those younger days |
Dreamed to stand in the lights of a stage |
Got a closet full of worn out shoes |
From doin' just what I said I’d do |
For some day I will turn to dust |
As sure these old strings turn to rust |
And I trust my fate will bring |
Another set of hands to make this old girl sing |
Now, I hope this old guitar remembers the song |
The one that kept me holding on |
Hold her right you’ll hear that sound |
My old friend won’t let you down |
My old friend won’t let you down |
