Lyrics

I grew up out on the rural route
There was one road there and there was one road out
From the very first time he set me on his knee
There was one thing daddy always said to me
"Get a guitar, start a band
It's somethin' worth doin' with your two hands
If you wanna get ahead, son, here's the ticket
Get a guitar and learn how to pick it"
Soon as I was old enough to hold my own
You sent away the Sears for a Silvertone
I played for the cows, played for the chickens
I could hear them peckin' while I was a pickin'
He said, "Get a guitar, start a band
It's somethin' worth doin' with your two hands
If you wanna get ahead, son, here's the ticket
Get a guitar and learn how to pick it"
Billy got some drums and Bobby got the bass
I got a used Fender with a worn-out case
I knew just as soon as I plugged it in
I'd never break a sweat on that farm again
Yeah, I played it at a dance at the city high school
And I played it loud and I played it cool
I saw that night what my daddy meant
And I ain't quit playin' this guitar since
Yeah, Daddy said, "Get a guitar, start a band
It's somethin' worth doin' with your two hands
If you wanna get ahead, son, here's the ticket
Get a guitar and learn how to pick it"
I got a guitar and learned how to pick it, oh yeah
