They said this ole guitar wouldn't take me places
But this ole guitar's been all over West Texas
It's been in bars, it's been in cars, broke some hearts and healed some scars
This ole guitar
They said this ole guitar wouldn't make me famous
But this ole guitar's been on a lot of stages
It's seen me shine through the dark, soaked up sweat as I worked hard
This ole guitar
There's a treasure in this box I hold
Memories and stories still untold
It's just wood and strings
But it's seen some things
This ole guitar
It's seen the inside of the bedroom when I'm crying
And it tells me so, when it knows that I'm lying
It keeps my secrets every time, then turns around and makes them rhyme
This ole guitar
There's a treasure in this box I hold
Memories and stories still untold
It's just wood and strings
But it's seen some things
This ole guitar
And I know I might seem lonely, but I'm not
I'm just holding on to everything I've got
I'm spending time with my confidant
There's a treasure in this box I hold
Memories and stories still untold
It's just wood and strings
But it's seen some things
This ole guitar
Yeah it's just wood and strings
But it's seen some things
This ole guitar
This ole guitar
They said this ole guitar wouldn't take me places
