Lyrics:

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song,
taught me how to laugh and how to cry
it introduced me to some friends of mine and it brightened up some days
and helped me make it through some lonely nights
but a friend to have a on a cold and lonely night

this old guitar gave me my love la-ladie
opend up her eyes and air to me
it brought us close together, but i guess it broke her heart
and opened up the space for us to be

this old guitar gives me my life and my living
you know everything i love to do
to serenade those stars that shine from a sunny mountain side
but most of all to sing my songs for you
yes i do, you know
i love to sing my songs for you
