The Bacon Brothers - Old Guitars lyrics

She gave me an old guitar She said teach yourself to play You've been lookin kind of bored Maybe this will fill your days She went out and I stayed in And I struggled with that Fenn She went west and I stayed east And I tried my best to sing And I sang Sam and Dave Catch that wave The Boss and Buddy Holly And every happy song I sang Sounded meloncholy I learned C and G and D and E and F and F sharp minor And in my mind when she walked out I'd gone to Carolina And I went do do do, do do do do, do do do, do do do do do do do, do do do do, do do do, do do do do Hearts can break just like a string Old guitars can't fix a string I Put that Martin in it's case With the memory of her face Where it stayed to gather dust And I went and found someone to trust I couldn't stand to twist and shout Not too much to sing about No more Dave Clark, five cars, see the three dog night too hot to handle Even Mozart leaves me cold Brahms and Bach can't handle Oh oh Creedance preach croochie could and get my heart a pumpin Jimmy Smack would not come back Jack Flash wasn't jumpin and no more do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do Fifteen years have come and gone And my wife hands me this old X She said I want to pretty please Watch your big scissory hands He got six more shiny strings and you got me alone tonight Stroke that neck that you've got me On that guitar nice and tight And I sang Don and Phil Who on the hill the band and man a lion But every sad sad song I sang I sang with a smile I learned Marvin Gaye Got double paid The strings and the blue goes Dolphin king and forcin heart and even some tomorrow And I went do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do I feel fine, Patsy Cline The king and Stan Dimazie Maybe we could harmonize Just like June and Johnny Thinner than the glimmer twins And both illusionary Monkeys sturdy drifters toasters Jackson and the Opries One more time do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do
