Close But No Guitar Lyrics - Toby Keith - Toby Keith

I'd sing the harmonies and Dixie sang the melody 

And we sing a little off key sometimes 

But we had some fun, son of a gun 

I wonder if I ever even cross her mind 

Then she ran away with Billy Bovine 

He was a flat top guitar pickin' friend o' mine 

And now I'm just sittin' home just countin' the stars 

I got close but no guitar 

I got close but no guitar 

She was a shooting star 

Who ran off with a guitar pickin' friend o' mine 

She's really on her way 

I hear her records every day 

I got close but no guitar

I still play piano bars, still drive that same ol' car 

I live in that little shack in Tupelo 

Dixie is the queen of Billboard Magazine 

Playin' 'cross the country doin' one night shows 

A man walks up with a dollar in his hand 

Says let me hear the song by Dixie and the guitar man 

And as the dollar falls to the bottom of my jar 

I get close but no guitar 

I got close but no guitar 

She was a shooting star 

Who ran off with a guitar pickin' friend o' mine 

She's really on her way 

I hear her records every day 

I got close but no guitar

I got close but no guitar
