Get A Guitar Lyrics - Jeff Carson

I grew up out on the rural [Incomprehensible] 

There was one road there and there was one road out 

From the very first time he set me on his knee 

There was one thing daddy always said to me 

Get a guitar, start a band 

It's is somethin' worth doin' with your two hands 

If you wanna get ahead, son, here's the ticket 

Get a guitar and learn how to pick it 

Soon as I was old enough to hold my own 

You send away the sears for a silver tone 

I played for the cows, played for the chickens 

I could hear them pickin' will I was a kickin' 

He said, get a guitar, start a band 

It's somethin' worth doin' with your two hands 

If you wanna get ahead, son, here's the ticket 

Get a guitar and learn how to pick it 

Billy got some drums and Bobby got the bass 

I got a used spender with a worn out case 

I knew just as soon as I plugged it in 

I'll never break sweat on that farm again 

Yeah, I played it out of bands at the Silly House Goon 

I played it down and I played it cool 

I saw that night what'd daddy meant 

And I ain't quit playin' this guitar since 

Yeah, daddy said, get a guitar, start a band 

It's somethin' worth doin' with your two hands 

If you gonna get ahead, son, here's the ticket 

Get a guitar and learn how to pick it 

I got a guitar and learned how to pick it, oh yeah
