He was sellin' an old guitar and I bought it

I saw her smilin' picture in his wallet

He said I call her baby but her christian name is, charlotte.

She spends her days downtown hooked up to some machine

They say time can heal, but time can't heal everything

The lords gonna take her home real soon flyin' on, angels wings

I'm gonna cry right now and that's okay

We're all gonna die, someday

You won't remember a single word I'm tryin' to say

It's all a grand delusion when you think you're in control

She's all I got left, I'm sellin' everything I own

There's no good in a goodbye, it's the beginning of the end

I left some songs in this guitar

Sing em' good my friend

Ah yeah

This old guitar case has been a million miles

Been a fools disciple, missed dance recitals, and the birth of every child

Honestly, honesty never goes out of style

Sing the pain my friend

So the world see's her as just desperate, gray, and old

All I see is my true love, my heart, my life, my soul

At least for one more night I got a beautiful wrinkled hand to hold

Sing the truth my friend.

I'm gonna cry right now and that's okay

We're all gonna die, someday

You won't remember a single word I'm tryin' to say

It's all a grand delusion when you think you're in control

She's all I got left, I'm sellin' everything I own

There's no good in a goodbye, it's the beginning of the end

I left some songs in this guitar

Sing em' good my friend

I'm gonna sing the pain away

I'm gonna sing the truth, and then

I'm gonna sing em' good, for my old friend

Well I cried when I got in my truck, so I put on my shades

Looked up at the crimson sky, as the sun began to fade

And for the first time, in a long time, I swear

I think I prayed

I'm gonna sing the pain away

I'm gonna sing the truth, and then

I'm gonna sing em' good, for my old friend

Yeah my old friend.
