I'm just an old guitar in a pawnshop down on the corner
And I'm waiting for somebody to come by and play me now and then
My strings are kinda rusty and I'm a little dusty
But you'd be too if you'd been where I been
I did some shows with Haggard back in 1967
And I'm just dying for someone to come by and play me back home
I'm just an old guitar in a pawnshop on a corner
Hey come on by and listen to my songs
But I seen a least a million of those tiny smoky bar rooms
And I've helped to heal some heartaches and I've helped sell some beer
And the last one who held me just couldn't wait to sell me
And for twenty dollars left me hanging here
But I dream about the spotlight and the roaring of the people
And I wonder if I'm ever gonna hear em sing along
**
-ve got a lot of memories and a song or two left in me
And someday somebody will pick me up and play me back home
