Kindly put your coins away
Well I'm not here for financial gain
Cause' music sounds sweetest to me
When from the heart and played for free
Cause' this old curb it ain't to bad
And this guitar's the best friend I ever had
And I try to sing of truth
So would you lend a ear
If I sang to you
Oh if I sang to you
What I've seen and where I've been
Is written in the lines upon my skin
And people stare, Then they go
And what they think of me, I think I know
Cause' this old curb it ain't to bad
And this guitar's the best friend I ever had
And I try to sing of truth
So would you lend a ear
If I sang to you
Oh if I sang to you
And I'd sing
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
Well I know no fortune or no fame
My own family barely knows my name
And you can bury me beneath the trees
But I'll keep playing here till I can't breath
Cause this old curb it ain't so bad
And this guitar's the best friend I ever had
And I try to sing of truth
So would you lend a ear
If I sang to you
Oh if I sang to you
Yeah if I sang to you
