it started back in 1963
his momma wouldn't buy him
that new red harmony
he settled fgor a sunburst with a crack
but he's still trying to break his momma's back.
Chorus
Solo Guitar - Same Chords as intro.
he loved that guitar just like a girlfriend
but every good thing comes to an end
now he just sits in his room all day
whistling every note he used to play
there out to be a law with no bail
smash a guitar and you go to jail
with no chance for early parole
you don;t get out till you get some soul
Chorus
late at night the end of the road
he wished he still had the old guitar to hold
he'd rock it like a baby in his arms
never let it come to any harm
