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
