Old Guitars Lyrics - Singles - Bacon Brothers

She gave me an old guitar 

She said teach yourself to play 

You've been lookin kind of bored 

Maybe this will fill your days 

She went out and I stayed in 

And I struggled with that Fenn 

She went west and I stayed east 

And I tried my best to sing 

And I sang Sam and Dave 

Catch that wave 

The Boss and Buddy Holly 

And every happy song I sang 

Sounded meloncholy 

I learned C and G 

and D and E 

and F and F sharp minor 

And in my mind when she walked out 

I'd gone to Carolina 

And I went 

do do do, do do do do, do do do, do do do do 

do do do, do do do do, do do do, do do do do 

Hearts can break just like a string 

Old guitars can't fix a string 

I Put that Martin in it's case 

With the memory of her face 

Where it stayed to gather dust 

And I went and found someone to trust 

I couldn't stand to twist and shout 

Not too much to sing about 

No more Dave Clark, five cars, see 

the three dog night too hot to handle 

Even Mozart leaves me cold 

Brahms and Bach can't handle 

Oh oh Creedance preach 

croochie could 

and get my heart a pumpin 

Jimmy Smack would not come back 

Jack Flash wasn't jumpin 

and no more 

do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do 

do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do 

Fifteen years have come and gone 

And my wife hands me this old X 

She said I want to pretty please 

Watch your big scissory hands 

He got six more shiny strings 

and you got me alone tonight 

Stroke that neck that you've got me 

On that guitar nice and tight 

And I sang Don and Phil 

Who on the hill 

the band and man a lion 

But every sad sad song I sang 

I sang with a smile 

I learned Marvin Gaye 

Got double paid 

The strings and the blue goes 

Dolphin king and forcin heart 

and even some tomorrow 

And I went 

do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do 

do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do 

I feel fine, Patsy Cline 

The king and Stan Dimazie 

Maybe we could harmonize 

Just like June and Johnny 

Thinner than the glimmer twins 

And both illusionary 

Monkeys sturdy drifters toasters 

Jackson and the Opries 

One more time 

do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do 

do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do
