Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Got my hands around her neck, oh

But it's done with respect, oh

I've had a few, but no other

Has the love of my mother

[Chorus]

I'm in love with my first guitar

I'm in love with my first guitar

[Verse 2]

Baby looks the way she feels, oh

And it almost seems surreal, oh

She'll make you glad that you're alive

When she kicks in to overdrive, oh

[Chorus]

I'm in love with my first guitar

I'm in love with my first guitar

[PreChorus]

The cardboard case and her starburst finish

One power chord, and I'm right back in it

Playing old KISS records in my folks' backyard

Seventeen years old, I'm a rock and roll star

[Chorus]

In love with my first guitar

I'm in love with my first guitar

[Bridge]

She's the only one who knows the way I feel

She's the only one who knows the way I feel

[PreChorus]

The cardboard case and her starburst finish

One power chord, and I'm right back in it

Playing old KISS records in my folks' backyard

Seventeen years old, I'm a rock and roll star

[Chorus]

In love with my first guitar

I'm in love with my first guitar

In love with my first guitar

I'm in love with my first guitar

[Chorus]

Whoa

Whoa, huh

[Outro]

I'm in love with my first guitar

I'm in love with my first guitar
