[00:02.27].
[00:02.77].
[00:03.33].
[00:03.80]
[00:13.80]He was selling an old guitar and I bought it
[00:19.36]I saw her smiling picture in his wallet
[00:24.74]He said "I call her 'baby' but her Christian name is Charlotte"
[00:29.55].
[00:30.05]
[00:35.50]She spends her days downtown hooked up to some machine
[00:41.07]They say time can heal but time can't heal everything
[00:46.88]The Lord's gonna take her home real soon flying on angel's wings
[00:52.26].
[00:57.76]I'm gonna cry right now and that's OK
[01:03.40]We're all gonna die someday
[01:08.96]You won't remember a single word I'm tryin' to say
[01:13.65].
[01:14.58]
[01:20.05]It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control
[01:25.55]She's all I got left, I'm sellin' everything I own
[01:30.61]There's no good in a goodbye, it's the beginning of the end
[01:36.11]I left some songs in this guitar
[01:41.99]Sing 'em good my friend
[01:44.36].
[01:55.05]This old guitar and case has been in a million bars
[01:59.86]Been a fool's disciple, missed her dance recitals
[02:02.49]And the birth of every child
[02:05.43]Honestly honesty never goes out of style
[02:09.81]So sing the pain my friend
[02:11.93].
[02:17.50]So the world sees her as just desperate grey and old
[02:22.56]And all I see is my true love, my heart, my life, my soul
[02:27.86]At least for one more night,
[02:29.87]I got a beautiful wrinkled hand to hold
[02:32.37]So sing the truth my friend
[02:34.74].
[02:39.49]I'm gonna cry right now and that's OK
[02:45.30]We're all gonna die someday
[02:50.81]You won't remember a single word I'm tryin' to say
[02:55.99].
[02:56.31]
[02:59.15]It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control
[03:07.41]She's all I got left, I'm sellin' everything I own
[03:12.35]There's no good in a goodbye, it's the beginning of the end
[03:18.10]I left some songs in this guitar
[03:23.73]Sing 'em good my friend
[03:26.91]I'm gonna sing the pain for me
[03:32.16]I'm gonna sing the truth for me
[03:37.35]I'm gonna sing em good for my friend
[03:42.77].
[03:47.33]Well I cried when I got in my truck so I put on my shades
[03:53.02]Looked up at the crimson sky as the sun began to fade
[03:58.59]And for the first time in a long time I swear
[04:02.77]I think I prayed
[04:05.02].
[04:05.71]I'm gonna sing the pain for me
[04:10.96]I'm gonna sing the truth for me
[04:16.46]I'm gonna sing em good for my old friend
[04:24.33]Yeah my old friend
[04:27.96].
