Beat Up Guitar

In a bar down in Texas In a poor part of town Sat an old man playin' the blues Played 'em dirty and low-down Just trying to make a living But you know it can't go far Playing them old blues Playing them old blues Playing them old blues On a beat up, beat up old guitar But he hug it like a woman Hold it close to his chest Runs his hands across the body With a soft, soft caress Though he never made much money When he passed around the jar But he could really play the blues He could really play the blues He could really play the blues On a beat up, beat up old guitar The body was all scratched up The neck a beat up thing But when that man started pickin' He could make the guitar sing Though it never made him famous He never was a star But he could really play the blues He could really play the blues He could really play the blues On a beat up, beat up old guitar One day that guitar just broke down You know the old man, he broke down too This mean ol' life gonna get you No matter what you do But if your ever down in Texas And you listen really hard You'll hear an old man playin' the blues Old man playin' the blues Old man playin' the blues On his beat up, his beat up old guitar On his beat up, his beat up old guitar On his beat up, his beat up old guitar
