Walking downtown shuffling my feet I try to dream my dreams above the concrete Store windows, traveled for miles But something I passed really caught my eye It was cracked down the middle, permanent scars But I fell in love with this here guitar Nice to meet you Can I teach you all I know? Can you show me what you do? Where have you been? What have you seen? Who were you before you even knew me? Have you been played for endless hours Or were you left in the corner? Or were you someone's best friend? This here guitar It was my baby, anyone could see I love the cracks, the curves, I hear the beauty But I can't help wondering why It came to me and when we'll say goodbye The cracks down the middle can't see where they are Since I fell in love with this here guitar Nice to meet you Can I teach you all I know? Can you show me what you do? Where have you been? What have you seen? Who were you before you even knew me? Have you been played for endless hours Or were you left in the corner? Or were you someone's best friend? This here guitar Were you a present from a father to a son? Did he forget you? Or just play you 'till you came undone? Hey, did some primadonna love you 'Till she got her fame and fortune? I won't do that to you now Nice to meet you I can teach you all I know You can show me what you do Where have you been? What have you seen? Who were you before you even knew me? And I played you for endless hours Never left you in the corner You're my one and only friend Now I know where life lessons are This here guitar You're my guitar This here guitar
