Got a brand new Taylor sitting in its case
Haven't picked it up since that day you left me
And I miss you
I got a worn out Martin I use on the stage
The one I used to write with everyday
But it doesn't feel right in my hands
Some guitars they don't understand the blues

When I'm feeling sad
When I'm looking back
I take out that old blue guitar

It's got a belt buckle scratch on its back
Three-year old strings and worn out frets
Though I have to tune it constantly
It's the only place I found a melody
It's close to the hollow sound of pure lonely

When I'm feeling sad
When I'm looking back
I take out that old blue guitar

I guess it knows how it feels
To feel this alone
'Cause my heart's overflowing
As it fills up this song
