lyrics

MY FIRST GUITAR

LOST ON THE BACKROADS
I HEARD DANNY’S LAUGH
HE ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW
AND THREW OUT ALL THE MAPS
IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR I COULD SEE THEM FLAP
LIKE DRUNK PIGEONS FLYING DOWN THE ROAD.

HE SAID DON’T LOOK BACK, BROTHER,
DON’T EVER LOOK BACK,
SEE, EVERYTHING BEHIND US – IT’S TIME HAS PASSED,
FROM HERE ON OUT WE WALK IN WOODY’S TRACKS
BOUND FOR GLORY, BABY, THAT’S RIGHT,
WE’RE BOUND FOR GLORY, YEAH…
CHORUS
GIVE ME BACK MY FIRST GUITAR - I’M TAKING IT TO MY GRAVE
I’M GONNA WRITE MY VERY LAST SONG
FOR THE FRIEND I COULD NOT SAVE
IT’LL GO LIKE THIS…. NA NA NA NA NA NA…

WE PLAYED SOME BIG SHOWS - A LOTTA GIGS FROM HELL
WE ALMOST MADE IT… LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
OUR SONGS WERE TRUE BUT TRUTH DOESN’T SELL
THAT’S WHAT WE TOLD OURSELVES ANY HOW

I WROTE A TON OF SONGS THEN - NOT MANY SURVIVED,
DANNY ONLY WROTE THREE BUT THEY ALL MADE ME CRY
IT ALL UNRAVELED & I DON’T KNOW WHY (repeat 2 X) SAY..
CHORUS
THOSE DAYS HAVE PASSED THAT WORLD IS GONE
NO ONE BUYS MAPS NOW – HELL, NO ONE BUYS SONGS,
I’M IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR NOW
BUT LIFE MOVES ON - LIFE MOVES ON

WELL I THOUGHT I’D LOOK UP DANNY THEN I CHANGED MY MIND
GUESS I WAS AFRAID OF WHAT I’D FIND - I HOPE HE’S OUT…
THERE WITH WOODY SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE
BOUND FOR GLORY, BOUND FOR GLORY YEAH
