COMFORT
IS THE MUSIC
I want to play this old guitar
Be your favorite country star
Sing a song for you
That's the only thing I do
Takes away the pain
Keeps the devil sane
And if it makes you dance
Well that's alright with me
I've been strummin' on this old box
Since I was a kid from Little Rock
Brought up on "Blue Suede Shoes"
And the Mississippi blues
Travlin' through this land
Playing anywhere I can
From the California sun
To the hills of Tennessee
Let the rain come down when it's needin'
Heal the wound when it's bleedin'
Drop you to your knees
Let it give you all you please
I can play you one more song
You don't have to sing along
May the music comfort you
May it comfort you
Now I've got a wounded heart
It's tearin' me apart
I think this old guitar is killin' me
It's like a monkey on my back
Leavin' scars and tracks
The music's got my soul
It won't let me be
I travel through the night
I'm not up on the Vegas lights
You don't see the likes of me on MTV
But down at the waterin' hole
Almost any night you go
On a dim and smoky stage is where I'll be
