[Verse 1]
Case in the closet
String dust, rusted fret
You watched me learn the hard way
Every scar, every set
You heard her slam that screen door
Heard me swear I’d never beg
Pick in my shaking fingers
Boot heel tapping on the leg
[Chorus]
My old guitar
You always take me back too far
Backroads, bar smoke, busted car
Same three chords, same broken heart
My old guitar
You turn my damage into stars
Every cracked note, every scar
I still bleed on my old guitar
[Verse 2]
Rap verse, but I’m still country
Mud on the tires of this flow
Snapback, dashboard Bible
Waffle house coffee to-go
808s under these memories
Kick thump, but the pain don’t drop
You know every time that I fake a smile
‘Cause your low E string goes soft
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You were there when Dad got sober
There when my brother left town
You were loud when I stayed quiet
You talked when I just shut down
If I ever hit that main stage
Or just this roadside bar
I’ll die with these calloused fingers
Wrapped ‘round my old guitar
[Chorus]
