This Old Guitar

(album: Back In The Game - 2019)

Six strings on a maple wood neck
Couple burns from a late night cigarette
Little worn out patch on the frets from when I tried to get her back
Drop of wine from the time that she kissed me
For playing her favorite Waylon and Willie
Couple cracks on the front from when she walked out on me

She's every word
Every song, every verse
Every melody I've ever sung's 'cause of her
I spilled my heart through all of the love in the pouring rain
She's every scar on this old guitar

Red stain from her lipstick in Mexico
Watched her dance while I strummed on some Rolling Stones
We sailed out on the ocean until the sun painted it gold
She carved our names out driving in Tennessee
On the day that I got down on my knee
I dropped it on the sand while we made love on that beach

Oh, she's every word
Every song, every verse
Every melody I've ever sung's 'cause of her
I spilled my heart through all of the love in the pouring rain
Yeah, she's every scar on this old guitar

Yeah, she's all down the road
In the lines, in the nose
All the memories she made
And the moments she stole
Oh, I just can't hide the music inside
And this tattoo she left on my soul

Oh, she's every word
Every song, every verse
Every melody I've ever sung's 'cause of her
Oh, I spilled my heart through all of the love in the pouring rain
Yeah, she's every scar

Yeah, she's every scar on this old guitar
On this old guitar
On this old guitar
