One time I was just like ya'll, I drove a fancy car With the luck that ran through my life I was gonna be a star I always had a good friend to see, no matter where I'd go At the bars and the dancing halls and at the picture shows But through the fickle friends, the break-ups and the brawls I've always had a song that I could sing Through the thick and thin I've had this old guitar And I'd wash my worries right down the drain When my turn for a party came, I knew just what to do And when it come to illegal drugs, I guess I've tried a few I recall how I loved to drink, and I'd refuse to ride When my head went through the steering wheel I nearly lost my mind I was on the brink, they say I almost died I could hear the angels calling me away But heaven's fine for me, some cloud up in the sky Just make sure I have a harp that I can play Took a while till I came around, found my friends were gone The bank came and they took my car, and I was all alone Took a while till I learned to speak, to talk naturally Please forgive me if I'm slow sometimes, you know it's hard for me I turned to the only friend I had, this old guitar of mine The one thats seen me through my better years and the worst of times But the songs that I used to sing, don't come so easily All I had that was worth a shit it seems he took from me With all you take from me, don't take away my song It's the only thought I had for me to stay If you give me anything, please give me one more song Without it I don't want to live another day Did you ever get the feeling that you wanted to go? Still had the feeling you needed to stay? The man in the mirror is a vision of what you've become Because he ain't got a feeling or a reason to stay And all of his thoughts are promises of yesterday Did you ever get the feeling like you wanted to go? |
