Sixteen years ago I picked up my first guitar
And I looked at all the strings
Never thought I would go far
But that guitar taught me in a morning
More than you had taught me my entire life
Guess I never needed an uncle
Never needed a grandfather
You went your separate ways
And I wasn't gonna go chasing after
My family is this fretboard and my friends are these old janky strings
No matter how lonely I get
I don't want you around
'Cause I've got everything I need
And the sight of you would just bring me down
I ain't worried about why you left us
I don't want to know what made you turn
'Cause ahead of me is unfamiliar faces
That mean a lot more than yours
No matter how lonely I get
I don't want you around
'Cause I've got everything I need
And the sight of you would just bring me down
