He was selling an old guitar at a bar
|
I saw her smiling picture in his wallet
|
He said "I call her 'baby' but her Christian name is Charlotte"
|
|
She spends her days downtown hooked up to some machine
|
The say time can heal but time can't heal everything
|
The Lord's gonna take her home real soon flying on angel's wings
|
|
I'm gonna cry right now and that's ok
|
We're all gonna die someday
|
You won't remember a single word I'm trying to say
|
|
It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control
|
She's all I got left of sellin everything I own
|
There's no good in a goodbye it's the beginning of the end
|
I left some songs in the guitar
|
Sing 'em good my friend
|
|
This old guitar and case has been in a million bars
|
Been a fools deciple miss dance recitles
|
And the birth of every child
|
Honestly honesty never goes out of stiyle
|
So sing the pain my friend
|
|
So the world she's her as just desperate grey and old
|
All i see is my true love my heart my life my soul
|
At least for one more night, I gott a beautiful wrinkled hand to hold
|
So sing the truth my friend
|
|
I'm gonna cry right now and that's ok
|
We're all gonna die someday
|
You won't remember a single word i'm tryin to say
|
|
It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control
|
She's all I got left of selling everthing I own
|
There's no good in a goodbye it's the beginning of the end
|
I left some songs in the guitar
|
Sing em good my friend
|
|
|
Well I cried when I got in that truck so I put on my shades
|
Looked up at the crimson sky as the sun began to fade
|
And for the first time in a long time I swear
|
I think I prayed
|

Sing 'Em Good My Friend
