Emma Jean's Guitar |
| I found it in a pawn shop in a ragged cardboard case |
| With the guns and dusty watches it looked so out of place |
| With a Trailways baggage sticker yellow frayed and torn |
| Destination Nashville September '64 |
| And you could tell by the fingerboard her painted nails were long |
| She only needed three chords to play those good ole country songs |
| And her name’s etched in the finish like a fading battle scar |
| And this 1950 Gibson was Emma Jean’s guitar |
| I wonder if she played it in a small town talent show |
| With her hair teased to perfection in a dress her mamma sewed |
| And for a little inspiration she pasted on a star |
| Here up on the head stock of Emma Jean’s guitar |
| I wouldn’t even know her if I saw her face to face |
| But there’s a little bit of Emma Jean in every song I play |
| She passed along these hopes and dreams cradled in my arms |
| And I am just a guardian of Emma Jean’s guitar |
