Get A Guitar

Lyrics

I grew up out on the rural [Incomprehensible]
 There was one road there and there was one road out
 From the very first time he set me on his knee
 There was one thing daddy always said to me
 Get a guitar, start a band
 It's is somethin' worth doin' with your two hands
 If you wanna get ahead, son, here's the ticket
 Get a guitar and learn how to pick it
 Soon as I was old enough to hold my own
 You send away the sears for a silver tone
 I played for the cows, played for the chickens
 I could hear them pickin' will I was a kickin'
 He said, get a guitar, start a band
 It's somethin' worth doin' with your two hands
 If you wanna get ahead, son, here's the ticket
 Get a guitar and learn how to pick it
 Billy got some drums and Bobby got the bass
 I got a used spender with a worn out case
 I knew just as soon as I plugged it in
 I'll never break sweat on that farm again
 Yeah, I played it out of bands at the Silly House Goon
 I played it down and I played it cool
 I saw that night what'd daddy meant
 And I ain't quit playin' this guitar since
 Yeah, daddy said, get a guitar, start a band
 It's somethin' worth doin' with your two hands
 If you gonna get ahead, son, here's the ticket
 Get a guitar and learn how to pick it
 I got a guitar and learned how to pick it, oh yeah
