A song I wrote today
This is called OLD GUITARS
The old bluesmen from down in Mississippi With Sears & Roebuck guitars from the thirties Wailin' away with their plaintive sound Created a style that's still around The hillbillies from the Appalachians All the way south down to the Cajuns With Martin guitars, fiddles and banjos Created their style so the story goes Young kids with electric guitars Singin' about girls, surfin' and cars And anything else you can think of Created a style we all love OLD GUITARS ON THE WALL TELL A STORY THEY'RE STILL IN THEIR DAYS OF GLORY MILLIONS BEGAN PLAYIN' 'EM IN '64 AFTER THE BEATLES CAME TO AMERICA'S SHORE SO MANY OLD GUITARS ARE STILL AROUND SCARRED FROM HARD NIGHTS ON THE TOWN AND YOU KNOW THE WORLD STILL SINGS TO MUSIC FROM OLD GUITAR STRINGS Old guitars all down through the ages Have been played on so many stages From Carnegie Hall to the GrandOl' Opry That's where the best pickers wanna be Local bars to weekend jam sessions Millions of pickers who never took lessons Playin' melodies with chords one, four & five Keepin' their dreams of stardom alive Even though most will never get there Guitar music they still wanna share Old guitars become their lifelong friends Here's hopin' their music never ends OLD GUITARS ON THE WALL TELL A STORY THEY'RE STILL IN THEIR DAYS OF GLORY MILLIONS BEGAN PLAYIN' 'EM IN '64 AFTER THE BEATLES CAME TO AMERICA'S SHORE SO MANY OLD GUITARS ARE STILL AROUND SCARRED FROM HARD NIGHTS ON THE TOWN AND YOU KNOW THE WORLD STILL SINGS TO MUSIC FROM OLD GUITAR STRINGS Last edited by DaveKell; 05-22-2018 at 06:53 AM. |
