Old Violin Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Paycheck

Well, I can't recall, one time in my life, 

I've felt as lonely as I do tonight. 

I feel like I could lay down, and get up no more, 

It's the damndest feelin'; 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, hell, I can't say. 

I only wish this feelin' would just go away. 

I guess it's 'cos the truth, 

Is the hardest thing I ever faced. 

'Cos you can't change the truth, 

In the slightest way. I tried.

So I asked myself, 

I said: 'John, where'd you go from here?' 

Then like a damned fool, 

I turned around and looked in the mirror. 

And there I saw, an old violin. 

Soon to be put away and never played again. 

So one more time, just to be sure, 

I said: 'John, where in the hell do you go from here?' 

You know that when a nickel's worth of difference, 

And I looked in the mirror, that's when I knew. 

That there I was seein', an old violin. 

Soon to be put away, and never played again.

And just like that, it hit me, 

That old violin and I were just alike. 

We'd give our all to music, 

And soon, we'd give our life.
