I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner

And I'm waiting for someone to play me now and then

My strings are kinda rusty and I'm a little dusty

Oh, but you'd be too if you've been where I've been



I've done some shows with Haggard back in 1967

Now I'm dying for someone to play me back home



I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner

Hey, come on by and listen to my song



I've seen at least a million of those tiny smoke bar rooms

And I've helped to heal some heartaches and I've helped to sell some beer

And the last one to help me

Just couldn't wait to sell me for 20 dollars and left me hanging here



But I dream about the spot light and the roaring of the people

And I wonder if I'm ever gonna hear 'em sing along



I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner

Hey, come on by and listen to my song



I've got a lot of memories and a song or two left in me

And some day someone will pick me up and play me back home



I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner

Hey, come on by and listen to my song

Won't ya come back by and listen to my song?
