This Old Guitar And Me Lyrics - Vince Gill

This old guitar and me 

And the things that we've been through 

C.F. Martin built him 

Back in nineteen fourty-two. 

I remember when we met 

I was only seventeen 

I spent all my college money 

On a half a dozen strings. 

I thought my folks would kill me 

I found out I was wrong 

They said your future's written on your face 

When you sing those travelin' songs. 

So we headed for Kentucky 

With a suitcase full of dreams 

My rough-out books, a few t-shirts 

A worn out pair of jeans.

Ooh. 

This old guitar and me 

We spent a lot of nights alone 

Well, sometimes we'd get lucky 

And take bar maid home. 

One night stands for breakfast 

Two strangers with the blues 

We'd wake up in the morning 

And both feel a little used. 

Well, home was just a highway 

We'd roam from town to town 

Just me and that old flattop 

Not caring where we're bound. 

>From Maine to California 

With a five piece travelin' band 

Singin' songs about the hard times 

That face the common man.

Ooh. 

This old guitar and me 

Lord, we did the best we could 

One was born a sinner 

And one a piece of wood. 

God sent a wooden angel 

To guide me on my way 

We were meant to be together 

Until my dyin' day. 

Well, now my dearest old companion 

Lies underneath my bed 

Well, our travelin' days are over 

Man, but the memories fill my head. 

Well, I've settled with my family 

Here in the hills of Tennessee 

To teach my children's children 

'Bout this old guitar and me. 

Ooh...
