Phil Celia - Out Of Tune Guitar Lyrics
Well I bought myself an out of tune guitarIn forty years I've never learned to tune itAnd I hoped that it would take me very farAnd so I play the best that I can do itAnd I never gave up trying and I never lost my faithIf I didn't make it through I would wait the waitAnd I just kept right on playing until my fingers swelledSome said they loved me some could go to hell'Cause I bought myself and an out of tune guitar and learned to play it wellWell I hit the road when I was just 19Heading west where I could show some promiseBut you know the grass is always greenAnd pretty soon I had to fill my walletAnd I met a real fine lady and I took her for my brideAnd way up in the canyon we found a place to hideAnd I'd learn my favorite love songs sing them just for herWent and had some babies, tried to get things stirred'Cause I bought myself an out of tune guitar, I wanted to be heardAnd I never gave up playing had my hands tied to my waistI never was for sitting down or falling on my faceI just kept keeping at it it was all that I could doOne thing is for certain once I quit, I am throughSometimes I see friends that used to playBut they've gone and put it in the closetThey sit around and talk about the dayAnd how they could have been someone but dropped itWell I don't pay attention I don't have the timeI'm just hanging in there trying for that dimeOr maybe a few million well today you need a fewTo start an institution to start something new'Cause I bought myself an out of tune guitar and tuned it just for you, just for youWell I bought myself an out of tune guitar, tuned it just for you
