Picked up my guitar and passed it to the kid He said he found it heavy, I hadn’t thought about it He must have struck a chord, in the back of my mind Maybe from another time… It was light when I was young and set out on the road Hit the bars and taverns, every watering hole The colour of it darkened before my eyes As another world fell inside Late night tales, hanging from the moon Broken strings, stories out of tune Cracked from ache I drove into the wood You’d never guess it from afar… The weight of my guitar Ghosts from the past are hiding in there Skeletons from closets in need of repair Best kept secrets, whispered in a bar Under the bridge of my guitar Don’t tell she said, unless you do In a song that makes me a little less blue I’m a sucker for a punch line, that’s no joke And then I watched her go Chorus Bridge: From a block of wood he cut out from a living tree To Robert Johnson, Joni, Jimmy down on his knees It’s a key to your emotions, it’s unlocking your heart Betraying every secret, till your falling apart Let it out in love and anger, let it cry let it breathe Take six strings and tie it down to what you believe It holds a thousand stories and a million tears Releasing all the regret, destroying your fears Finger pick it, strum it like a gentle wind Attack it with a fury of a bomb comin’ in Listen to it crying in the dark all alone Or screamin’ from rooftop like a rolling stone Chorus
