This Old Guitar

Six strings on a maple wood neck

Couple burns from a late night cigarette

Little worn out patch on the frets from when I tried to get her back

Drop of wine from the time that she kissed me

For playing her favorite Waylon and Willie

Couple cracks on the front from when she walked out on me

She's every word

Every song, every verse

Every melody I've ever sung's because of her

I spilled my heart through all of the love in the pouring rain

She's every scar on this old guitar

Red stain from her lipstick in Mexico

Watched her dance while I strummed on some Rolling Stones

We sailed out on the ocean until the sun painted it gold

She carved our names out driving in Tennessee

On the day that I got down on my knee

I dropped it on the sand while we made love on that beach

Oh, she's every word

Every song, every verse

Every melody I've ever sung's 'cause of her

I spilled my heart through all of the love in the pouring rain

Yeah, she's every scar on this old guitar

Yeah, she's all down the road

In the lines, in the nose

All the memories she made

And the moments she stole

Oh, I just can't hide the music inside

And this tattoo she left on my soul

Oh, she's every word

Every song, every verse

Every melody I've ever sung's 'cause of her

Oh, I spilled my heart through all of the love in the pouring rain

Yeah, she's every scar

Yeah, she's every scar on this old guitar

On this old guitar

On this old guitar
