Old Violin

(앨범: That's Why I Sing This Way - 2002)

I can't recall one time in my life
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight
I felt like I lay down, and get up no more
It's the damndest feeling, I never felt it before

Tonight I feel like an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
Don't ask me why I feel like this, I can't say
I only wish this feeling would just go away

I guess it's cause the truth
Is the hardest thing I ever faced
Cause you can't change the truth
In the slightest way, cause I've tried

So I asked myself
Where do you go from here?
And then like a fool I turned around
And I looked in the mirror

And there I was seeing, an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
So one more time, just to be sure
I asked myself where in the world do you go from here?

And there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference
When I looked in the mirror

'Cause there I was seeing, an old violin
Soon to be put away, and never played again

And just like that, it hit me
That old violin and I we were just alike
We'd give our all to country music
And soon, we'll give our life
