Walking downtown shuffling my feet

I try to dream my dreams above the concrete

Store windows, traveled for miles

But something I passed really caught my eye

It was cracked down the middle, permanent scars

But I fell in love with this here guitar

Nice to meet you, can I teach you

All I know, can you show me what you do

Where have you been

What have you seen

Who were you before you even knew me

Have you been played for endless hours

Or were you left in the corner

Or were you someone's best friend

This here guitar

It was my baby, anyone could see

I love the cracks, the curves, the hidden beauty

But I can't help wondering why

It came to me and where we'll say goodbye

The cracks down the middle

Can't see where they are

Since I fell in love with this here guitar

Nice to meet you, can I teach you

All I know, can you show me what you do

Where have you been

What have you seen

Who were you before you even knew me

Have you been played for endless hours

Or were you left in the corner

Or were you someone's best friend

This here guitar

Were you a present from a father to a son?

Did he forget you

Or just play you 'til you came undone?

Hey, did some prima donna love you

'Til she got her fame and fortune?

I won't do that to you

Nice to meet you, can I teach you

All I know, can you show me what you do

Where have you been?

What have you seen?

Who were you before you even knew me?

Have you been played for endless hours

Or were you left in the corner

Or were you someone's best friend?

This here guitar

You're my guitar

This here guitar
