Hollywood |
Well, I was passing by a pawn shop |
In an older part of town |
Something caught my eye |
And I stopped and turned around |
I stepped inside and there I spied |
In the middle of it all |
Was a beat up old guitar |
Hanging on the wall |
«What do you want for that piece of junk?» |
I asked the old man |
He just smiled and took it down |
And he put it in my hand |
He said, «You tell me what it’s worth |
You’re the one who wants it» |
Tune it up, play a song |
And let’s just see what haunts it |
So, I hit a couple of chords |
In my old country way of strumming |
And then my fingers turned to lightning |
Man, I never heard it coming |
It was like I always knew it |
I just don’t know where I learned it |
It wasn’t nothin' but the truth |
So I just reared back and burned it |
Well, I lost all track of time |
There was nothing I couldn’t pick |
Up and down the neck |
I never missed a lick |
The guitar almost played itself |
There was nothing I could do |
It was getting hard to tell |
Just who was playing who |
When I finally put it down |
I couldn’t catch my breath |
My hands were shaking |
And I was scared to death |
The old man finally got up |
Said, «Where in the hell you been? |
I’ve been waiting all these years |
For you to stumble in» |
Then he took down an old dusty case |
Said, «Go on and pack it up |
You don’t owe me nothing» |
And then he said, «Good luck» |
There was something spooky in his voice |
And something strange on his face |
When he shut the lid |
I saw my name was on the case |
