Johnny Paycheck "Old Violin" |
Well, I can't recall, one time in my life I've felt as lonely as I do tonight I feel like I could lay down, and get up no more It's the damndest feelin'; I never felt it before. Tonight I feel like an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say I only wish this feelin' would just go away. I guess it's 'cos the truth Is the hardest thing I ever faced 'Cos you can't change the truth In the slightest way. I tried. So I asked myself I said: "John, where'd you go from here?" Then like a damned fool I turned around and looked in the mirror. And there I saw, an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again. So one more time, just to be sure I said: "John, where in the hell do you go from here?" You know that when a nickel's worth of difference And I looked in the mirror, that's when I knew. That there I was seein', an old violin Soon to be put away, and never played again. And just like that, it hit me That old violin and I were just alike We'd give our all to music And soon, we'd give our life... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
