Tonight I hold the one I love far from the one at home

I picked her up some time ago and I never feel alone

I held on tight too many years to ever set her free

And though she's not a lady she still means the world to me.



Chorus:

She's no lady but I love her, she's been known to be untrue

She's been knocked around and picked on, even dropped a time or two

She's been passed around at parties, sat on everybody's knees

This old guitar's changed hands a time or two but it still belongs to me.

It still belongs to me.



--- Instrumental ---



She's the one who keeps me from my wife and family half the time

She haunts me and she drives me to these honky tonk dives

I pick her up each evening as the neon starts to glow

And hold her closer to my heart than any lady's ever known



Chorus:

She's no lady but I love her, she's been known to be untrue

She's been knocked around and picked on, even dropped a time or two

She's been passed around at parties, sat on everybody's knees

This old guitar's changed hands a time or two but it still belongs to me.

It still belongs to me.



Chorus:

She's no lady but I love her, she's been known to be untrue

She's been knocked around and picked on, even dropped a time or two

She's been passed around at parties, sat on everybody's knees

This old guitar's changed hands a time or two but it still belongs to me.

It still belongs to me...
