Old Violin

I can't recall one time in my life I've felt as lonely as I do tonight I feel that I could lay down, and get up no more It's the damnest feelin', I've never felt it before Tonight I feel like an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say I only wish this feelin' would just go away I guess it's 'cause the truth Is the hardest thing I've ever faced 'Cause you can't change the truth In the slightest way, 'cause I've tried So I asked myself "Where do you go from here?" And then like a fool I turned around and I looked in the mirror And there I was seeing an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again So one more time, just to be sure I asked myself, "Where in the world do you go from here?" And there's when a nickel's worth the difference When I looked in the mirror 'Cause there I was seein' an old violin Soon to be put away, and never played again And just like that, it hit me That old violin and I were just alike We'd give our all to country music And soon, we'll give our life
