He was selling´ an old guitar and I bought it I saw her smiling´ picture in his wallet He said I call her baby but her Christian name is, Charlotte
She spends her days downtown hooked up to some machine They say time can heal, but time can´t heal everything The lord´s gonna take her home real soon flying´ on, angel wings
I´m gonna cry right now and that´s okay We´re all gonna die, someday You won´t remember a single word I´m trying to say
It´s all a grand delusion when you think you´re in control She´s all I got left, I´m selling´ everything I own
There´s no good in a goodbye, it´s the beginning of the end I left some songs in this guitar Sing Em´ Good My Friend
Ah Yeah
This old guitar case has been a million miles Been a fools disciple, missed dance recitals, and the birth of every child Honestly, honesty never goes out of style Sing the pain my friend
So the world see´s her as just desperate, gray, and old
All I see is my true love, my heart, my life, my soul At least for one more night I got a beautiful wrinkled hand to hold Sing the truth my friend
I´m gonna cry right now and that´s okay We´re all gonna die, someday You won´t remember a single word I´m trying to say
It´s all a grand delusion when you think you´re in control She´s all I got left, I´m selling´ everything I own There´s no good in a goodbye, it´s the beginning of the end
I left some songs in this guitar Sing Em´ Good My Friend
I´m gonna sing the pain away I´m gonna sing the truth, and then I´m gonna sing em´ good, for my old friend
Well I cried when I got in my truck, so I put on my shades Looked up at the crimson sky, as the sun began to fade And for the first time, in a long time, I swear I think I prayed
I´m gonna sing the pain away
I´m gonna sing the truth, and then I´m gonna sing em´ good, for my old friend Yeah my old friend
