Lyrics

This Old Guitar
(Bill Harris, Charles Allen Bouton, Mike T. Lounibos)

I cut my teeth on Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and
George Jones
When my daddy?s band would play he?d let me tag along
Every night when we?d get home and he?d go off to bed
I?d pick up that old flat top and play ?till my fingers bled (but)

Chorus:
I wouldn?t have the country
I wouldn?t have a song
If it wasn?t for this guitar
My Daddy?s - Daddy passed on
Now I?ll be the singer
Give you all my heart
But I couldn?t tell the story
Without this old guitar

If you want to get to know me put this guitar in my hand
It reaches way down in my soul just like a woman can
It?s a best friend and a work of art all rolled up in one
As long as there?s a tale to tell, our work is never done

Chorus:
Bridge:
I live for the moment when I can sing these words to you
Make you smile or shed a tear, yeah that?s what a country song can do

Chorus:

Yeah there wouldn?t be a story - without this old guitar
