about

This is about a few of the reasons why people (some guys at least) take
up guitars. With a bit familial biography, and more injustices which never seem to run dry. Fathers and children may recognise these situations.

lyrics

When I was just a young man, shy as I could be
I fell in love with a pretty little girl but she would not look at me
Well I got a guitar, wrote her a song, practiced night and day
And just as soon as she heard that tune I saw her look my way

Chorus
So I’ll keep right on singing my song, ‘till destiny calls me home
I’ll keep right on singing my song ‘till destiny calls me home
As through this world I ramble, as through this world I roam
I’ll keep right on singing my song, ‘till destiny calls me home

One day I got a letter, Uncle Sam he says to me
Gotta fight this war on terror to keep our country free
Grabbed my guitar, wrote him a song, told him what he could do
There’s millions more don’t like your war, and I don’t like it too

Chorus

Now my son’s a young man, more like me than me
He’s real sweet on a pretty little girl, doin’ what comes naturally
He got my guitar, wrote her a song, she turned to him and said
“I believe you’re the one for me, so come on right ahead.”

Chorus

I look around your cities, I look around my town
They’re putting folks in boxes, covering the ground
Take my guitar, write lots of songs, sing ‘em down your way
You’ll see my friends that what goes up, must come down some day

Chorus

Now I’m gettin’ old, losing my hair, I can’t see quite so far
But I still can see it ain’t no use to send our boys to war
Take my guitar, write one more song, play it loud and clear
Let’s bring ‘em home no more to roam or fall so far from here

Final Chorus
