life has a funny way
of keeping me on my toes
oh how my shoulders ache
under the weight of my woes
my tears fall
on my old guitar
and I just wail and weep
over softly bending strings
lovers and friends the same
everyone’s fair game
everyone can hurt your heart
when it all falls apart
my tears fall
on my old guitar
and I just wail and weep
over softly bending strings
no matter where I go
the music guides my soul
through all the ups and downs
it can help turn me around
my tears fall
on my old guitar
and I just wail and weep
over softly bending strings
