lyrics

Daddy's Guitar

I met her on a cold winters day, all alone she had no place to stay
Then she said I lost my family, but could you do just one thing for me

Can you fix this old guitar for me, it's all thats left of my dear daddy
She said I want to hear it sing, so I put on new strings
and that guitar, well know it's playing me.

Her daddy drove truck yeah he got around,
found the axe in a cold Canadian town
Brought it back to the good ol' USA
It was so sad when he passed away.

Can you fix this old guitar for me, it's all thats left of my dear daddy
She said I want to hear it sing, so I put on new strings
and that guitar, well know it's playing me.

She said he took his life it was such a tragedy
He's the hero I no longer see
But i can hear his spirit through the strings
I feel his love every time that guitar sings

Can you fix this old guitar for me, it's all thats left of my dear daddy
She said I want to hear it sing, so I put on new strings
and that guitar, well know it's playing me.

I play it now but it don't belong to me
Finest guitar that I'll ever see
Sounds like an angel chorus from above
and through that sound she feels her daddy's love.

Can you fix this old guitar for me, it's all thats left of my dear daddy
She said I want to hear it sing, so I put on new strings
and that guitar, well know it's playing me.
