Beat Up Guitar

In a bar down in Texas
 In a poor part of town
 Sat an old man playin' the blues
 Played 'em dirty and low-down
 Just trying to make a living
 But you know it can't go far
 Playing them old blues
 Playing them old blues
 Playing them old blues
 On a beat up, beat up old guitar
 But he hug it like a woman
 Hold it close to his chest
 Runs his hands across the body
 With a soft, soft caress
 Though he never made much money
 When he passed around the jar
 But he could really play the blues
 He could really play the blues
 He could really play the blues
 On a beat up, beat up old guitar
 The body was all scratched up
 The neck a beat up thing
 But when that man started pickin'
 He could make the guitar sing
 Though it never made him famous
 He never was a star
 But he could really play the blues
 He could really play the blues
 He could really play the blues
 On a beat up, beat up old guitar
 ♪
 One day that guitar just broke down
 You know the old man, he broke down too
 This mean ol' life gonna get you
 No matter what you do
 But if your ever down in Texas
 And you listen really hard
 You'll hear an old man playin' the blues
 Old man playin' the blues
 Old man playin' the blues
 On his beat up, his beat up old guitar
 On his beat up, his beat up old guitar
 On his beat up, his beat up old guitar
