Lyrics

Got her when I was seventeen,
Pawn shop find, strings cut and lean.
She’s been with me through every mile,
Every heartbreak, every trial.
Played her on backroads, bars, and beds,
Through goodbyes I wish I never said.
She’s been my prayer, my fight, my scar,
This old guitar.
She’s heard my lies, my “I’ll be fines,”
Every truth I’ve tried to hide behind.
Through the whiskey nights and long goodbyes,
She never once asked me why.
She’s been my peace, my alibi, my star,
This old guitar.
The paint’s all worn where my heart leans,
Ain’t much left but broken dreams.
But she still sings when I can’t talk,
Still hums when my faith walks.
And when the crowd don’t know my name,
She still calls me just the same.
Yeah, we’ve both been bent, both gone too far,
Me and this old guitar.
She’s heard my lies, my “I’ll be fines,”
Every truth I’ve tried to hide behind.
Through the whiskey nights and long goodbyes,
She never once asked me why.
She’s been my peace, my alibi, my star,
This old guitar.
If I ever find my way back home,
And lay my burdens down alone,
I’ll play one last song in the dark,
On this old guitar.
She’s heard my lies, my “I’ll be fines,”
Every truth I’ve tried to hide behind.
Through the whiskey nights and long goodbyes,
She never once asked me why.
She’s been my peace, my alibi, my star,
This old guitar.
Yeah… this old guitar.
