david wilcox – guitar shopping lyrics
from what you whispered
…
there’s a guitar here in the window
i’d like to play before it’s sold
its such a cl-ssic, mint condition
great shape for one this old
now all these axes have their stories
of the gigs that they have seen
but when this one sold the first time
i was seventeen
‘course back then i didn’t want it
it was way too new for me
i needed something old and righteous
with it’s own authority
so the first guitar i ever bought
was twice as old as me
cause it’s life was full of music
as i dreamed that mine might be
and i played that thing a thousand nights
and traded it away
for something slightly newer
that was easier to play
but now lately i buy new guitars,
they’re shiny as a he-rs-
i still like the look of road wear,
but the roles have been reversed
and now this thing is a cl-ssic
but i still don’t need to buy
yeah the old ones have their stories
but by now, so do i
