He was selling an old guitar and I bought it
I saw her smilin' picture in his wallet
He said, 'I call her baby but her christain name is Charlotte'
(Doo Do Do Do Doo Do Do Do Do)
She spends her days downtown hooked up to some machine
They say time can heal but it can't heal everything
The Lords gonna take her home real soon flying on angel's wings
(Doo Do Do Do Doo Do Do Do Do)
I'm gonna cry right now and that's ok
We're all gonna die someday
You won't remember a single word I'm tryin' to say
(Doo Do Do Do Doo Do Do Do Do)
It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control
She all I got left I'm sellin' everything I own
There's no good enough goodbye
Its the beginning of the end
I left some old songs in this guitar
Sing 'em good my friend
(Doo Do Do Do Doo Do Do Do Do)
Awww yeah
(Doo Do Do Do Doo Do Do Do Do)
This old guitar and case has been in a million bars
Been a fools disciple miss dance recitles
And the birth of every child
Honestly honesty never goes out of style
So sing the pain my friend
(Doo Do Do Do Doo Do Do Do Do)
Awwww
So the world see's her as just desperate grey 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
So sing the truth my friend
(Doo Do Do Do Doo Do Do Do Do)
I'm gonna cry right now and that's ok
We're all gonna die someday
You won't remember a single word I'm tryin to say
(Doo Do Do Do Doo Do Do Do Do)
It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control
She's all I got left I'm selling everthing 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
(Im gonna sing the pain away
Im gonna sing the truth and then
Im 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
(Im gonna sing the pain away
Im gonna sing the truth and then
Im gonna sing 'em good for my old friend
Yeah, my old friend)
