A Good Friend To Me

I found this old guitar at a pawn shop
It was calling out my name
I had no idea where it came from
Or the last time it'd been played
I said, "Mister, can you tell me"
"A little somethin' about its life?"
He said, "It's been in here for five days now"
"Pawned by some songwriter's wife"

She said, "It's laughed and it's cried"
"It's loved and it's lied"
"It's had its heart broken one too many times"
"Closed down every bar it's ever gone into"
"And every song it plays leaves you feeling blue"
I said, "Honestly"
"That old guitar sure sounds like me"

From the moment that I held it
I knew I'd found a friend
Something I could count on to be there
Right 'til the very end
I put it in the front seat
Couldn't wait to get back home
For the first time in a long time
I didn't feel alone

You see I've laughed and I've cried
I've loved and I've lied
I've had my heart broken
One too many times
Closed down every bar
I've ever gone into
And every song I play
Leaves me feeling blue
I'll tell you honestly
This old guitar sure sounds like me

You see I've laughed and I've cried
I've loved and I've lied
I've had my heart broken
One too many times
Closed down every bar
I've ever gone into
And every song I play
Leaves me feeling blue

I'll tell you honestly
This old guitar's been a good friend to me
This old guitar's been a good friend to me
This old guitar's been a good friend to me
