---->()D (verse 1) This old guitar and me   The things that we’ve been through C.F. Martin  built it  back in 1942 I remember when we met I was only seventeen I spent all my college money On a half a dozen strings (verse 2) I thought my folks would kill me I found out I was wrong They said your future’s written on your face When you sing those travlin songs (verse 3) So we headed for Kentucky With a suitcase full of dreams Rough out boots a few t-shirts a worn out pair of jeans Oooo Oooo Oooo            - Oooo Oooo Oooo            ----- Oooo Oooo Oooo (verse 4) This old guitar and me Spent a lot of nights alone Sometimes we’d get lucky               And take a barmaid home      (verse 5) One night stands for breakfast Two strangers with the blues Wake up in the mornin    Both feelin a little used (verse 6)   My home is just a highway I roam from town to town Just me and that old flat top Not carin where we’re at From Maine to California A five piece travelin band Singin songs about the hard times That face the common man Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo This old guitar and me We did the best we could One was born a sinner And one a piece of wood God sent a wooden angel To guid me on my way we were meant to be together Till my dyin day Now my dearest old companion Lies underneath my bed Well our travelin days are over Man but the memories fill my head We’ll I’ve settled with my family Here in the hills of Tennessee To teach my childrens children Bout this old guitar and me Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un lien profond entre un musicien et sa guitare, symbole de leurs aventures communes. Dès leur rencontre à dix-sept ans, l'instrument devient son fidèle compagnon, l'accompagnant à travers des souvenirs marquants et des défis de la vie. Ensemble, ils parcourent le pays, partageant des moments de solitude et de chance, tout en évoquant les luttes du quotidien. Le protagoniste se remémore les jours passés, chantant des mélodies sur des routes lointaines. Il exprime la fierté d’avoir transmis son amour de la musique à ses enfants, soulignant la valeur des souvenirs accumulés au fil du temps. En fin de compte, la guitare et lui ont traversé bien des épreuves, et leur union est destinée à perdurer dans ses souvenirs, même si désormais ils se reposent en paix.
