Once we were so happy you were my very own
|
Then you bought that guitar and ruined our happy home
|
You told me that you're gonna pick you're gonna be a star
|
I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an old guitar
|
You gaze at that guitar on your knee in a way that you never look at me
|
This love affair of yours has gone too far
|
And I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an old guitar
|
[ ac.guitar ]
|
You say it wouldn't be long till you'd be Number One
|
That we'd have lots of money and we'd have lots of fun
|
Well all you've done is pick and grin and sing off key so far
|
I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an old guitar
|
You gaze at that guitar on your knee...
|
I walked and preached and fought with you and tried most everything
|
If you keep a pickin' an old guitar and I'm a gonna sing (yodel)
