Play Guitar Play

(Album: Someone Loves You Honey - 1978)

Play, guitar play
Take me back to yesterday
Let me see cotton growing in the fields
Let me hear my momma calling
"Look a yon-der y'all who's comin'!
Down the road, he's coming home!"
But they know I never will.

I left them living with that awful thang I done
I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run

Play guitar play
Help me through another day.
Help me make another dollar before I go
We got time for one more song
Then we'll have to move along
Another town another crowd
Lord I wonder if they know

Can they read between the lines in my songs
As I sing about a good boy, that went wrong
Guitar we got years to kill
Got to climb that distant hill
I wonder if they think of me.
