Old Guitar Case

It was back in '88 when she came my way

Ups and downs and no-name towns and it's still here today

It sure ain't much to look at, handle's fallin' off

It spent its life on the road with me in this old modern box

Ain't no other could ever take its place

This old guitar case

Got stickers sayin' Luckenbach and Wheeling Jamboree

Some on top of others, so faded you can't read

It still reeks of whiskey and stale cigarettes

Of all those dingy barn rooms I never will forget

Been travelin' round from place to place

With this old guitar case

It was there when Claire walked out and gave up on my dreams

I've got my stash and a little cash still hidden in the seams

Times pass by, I realize I'm finally slowin' down

There'll come a day when I can't play, no longer get around

Don't put my ashes in the sea or shoot 'em off in space

Put my remains with them Black Diamond strings

In this old guitar case

Ain't no other could ever take its place

This old guitar case
