lyrics

Lost my soul in a card game
to a devil I didn't know
says she'll be back to collect on Sunday
by Friday I'll be gone
well it's more than I can handle
but still I'm keepin' on
with this old guitar
and this newly written song

Well the time's come to reckon
for all that we've done
still the spans they stay open
as the boats run toward the sun
and it's more than I can handle
but still I'm keepin' on
with this old guitar
and this newly written song

And my mind, isn't all
I can ride on
I've got these here strings
makin' chords of sound

It's been, four sunrises
and only three sunsets
and I'm sittin' here and wonderin'
how much harder life'll get
got this smudge on my soul
that your touch can't rub out
got this hole in my mind
the thought of you can't fill up

And my mind, isn't all
I can ride on
I've got these strings makin' chords
chords of sound
And my mind, isn't all
I can ride on

It's this old guitar
and my soul is trapped in these strings
and my heart's tied up just the same
in this old guitar
