You gaze at that guitar on your knee In a way that you never look at me This love affair of yours has gone too far And I'm tired of playing second fiddle to an old guitar. I walked and preached and fought with you And tried most everything If you keep picking that old guitar Then I'm a gonna sing... --- Yodels to fade ---
