The Guitar Song

.

I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner

And I'm waiting for someone to play me now and then

My strings are kinda rusty and I'm a little dusty

Oh but you'd be too if you've been where I've been

I've done some shows with Haggard back in 1967

Now I'm dying for someone to play me back home

.

I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner

Hey come on by and listen to my song

.

I've seen at least a million of those tiny smoke bar rooms

And I've help to heal some heartaches

And I've helped to sell some beer

And the last one that held me

Just couldn't wait to sell me

For 20 dollars and left me hanging here

But I dream about the spotlight

And the roaring of the people

And I wonder if I'm ever gonna hear 'em sing along

.

I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner

Hey come on by and listen to my song

.

I've got a lot of memories

And a song or two left in me

And someday someone will pick me up

And play me back home

.

I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner

Hey come on by and listen to my song

.

Won't ya come back by and listen to my song
