This Guitar Lyrics

Daddy played this Guitar for us

Back when we were just kids

Neil diamond and Elvis were some

Of the songs on his list

Mama taught us the words

We sang we danced

While he picked

Sittin in that living room

How we loved all those old hits

On this Guitar

Yeah it looks rough and a little battered

But that don't seem to matter

The songs still sound the same

And this guitar

It may seem like we need a new one

A little shinier without the peg hum

Or the bridge bulge it's ok

This guitar has seen our family

Through the tough stuff

Brought us smiles and tears

And big hugs

I guess that's why it stays

By the fire place on the wall

Will always be the space

For this guitar

Now a Martin or a Fender

You may think you need,

Maybe it's a Gibson

Or a nice little Takamine

I don't care what anyone says

They can't hold a pick

To this old Ibanez

That guitar still hangs on the wall

To this very day.

Every time I come back home

I grab that old guitar play

So now we dust it off, tune it up

To share with kids of our own

Though he may be missing his Lessons carry on in this guitar.

Yeah it looks rough and a little battered

But that don't seem to matter

The songs still sound the same

And this guitar

It may seem like we need a new one

A little shinier without the peg hum

Or the bridge bulge it's ok

This guitar has seen our family

Through the tough stuff

Brought us smiles and tears

And big hugs

I guess that's why it stays

By the fireplace, on the wall, will

always be the space,

Every time I come home

I'll look at that place

And this guitar
