lyrics

When the holidays came we'd all drive down to your place
Rush through the front door, get all of my hello's out of the way
The game's on in the other room, Grandma's packing up the food
I learned a tune or two from your steel guitar

So thank you for this old guitar
And the violin that warmed my heart
When the times got bad
When I could not understand this crazy world

Wabash Cannonball and Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms
Amazing Grace, I'll Fly Away, Oh How Great Thou Art
It was always there it just had to be uncovered
And now I don't know what I would do without the other
These strings and wood

So thank you for this old guitar
And the violin that warmed my heart
When the times got bad
When I could not understand this crazy world

And as time marches on
And more question marks are drawn
I'll lay to rest what's dead and gone
Open my eyes to the sun
