 A MAN AND HIS GUITAR  © ron burres
(Recitation) This song is about a man and his guitar, and the special bond that has grown between them.  If you can imagine a living guitar this is what might take place
(MAN) THIS OLD GUITARS GETTING’ HEAVY, its SONGS HAVE BEEN MANY
IT’S BEEN WITH ME THROUGH THIS CRAZY LIFE I’VE LED
PLAYIN’ OUT THE WORDS I’VE FELT, WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE TO TELL
THE FEELINS DEEP INSIDE MY SOUL

  (GUITAR) THIS OLD COWBOYS’ SO TIRED HIS MILES HAVE BEEN MANY
HE NEEDS A PLACE TO LAY HIS WEARY HEAD
I’LL KEEP PLAYING OUT THE WAY HE FEELS, THE ONES HE JUST CAN’T TELL
THE FEELINGS HE KEEPS HIDDEN, DEEP INSIDE HIS SOUL

THE ONLY WAY TO LOVE HIM, IS THROUGH THE SONGS HE’S WROTE
CAUSE THEY’RE WRITTEN IN THE LANGUAGE OF HIS SOUL
THEY GO BACK THROUGH HIS MEMORIES AND EVERYTHING HE’S KNOWN
AND THEY’RE THE ONLY WAY HE TELLS, WHAT’S DEEP INSIDE HIS SOUL

(MAN) THIS OLD BED FEELS SO LONELY WHEN IT’S USED FOR SLEEPIN’ ONLY
I T SEEMS SHE’S GONE AND LEFT ME ONCE AGAIN
I GUESS IT’S HARD TO LOVEME, WHEN I KEEP IT ALL INSIDE ME
I NEVER LET HER SEE WHATS IN MY SOUL

OLD GUITAR IM SO TIRED, I NEED TO REST A WHILE
LET ME LAY YOU DOWN RIGHT BESIDE ME
I’LL CLOSE MY EYES AND REST A WHILE, AND DREAM OF HEAVENS WELCOME SMILE
AND WHEN WE WAKE SOMEONE WILL REALLY KNOW ME
AND WHEN WE WAKE SOMEONE WILL REALLY KNOW ME
