I'd Play My Old Guitar Lyrics

My old 12-string was my rider

I was trucking coast to coast

I sang about being lonely

I sang about the one I loved the most

I sang about the mountains

I sang underneath the stars

Every time I stopped that truck

I'd play my old guitar

Played my old guitar

I turned 22 in Cheyenne

Remember writing a song

I was drinking in a honky tonk

Lost the napkin I wrote it on

I sang about the high plains

And drinking in truckstop bars

Every time I stopped that truck

I'd play my old guitar

Played my old guitar

Now I'm getting older

Not trucking anymore

The road is all just memories

Guess that is all it was ever good for

I sing about the romance

I sing about the scars

Walked away from driving truck

I still play my guitar

Still play my guitar

My old 12-string was my rider

I was trucking coast to coast

I sang about being lonely

I sang about the one I loved the most

I sang about the mountains

I sang underneath the stars

Every time I stopped that truck

I'd play my old guitar

Still play my guitar
