Old Guitar Lyrics by The Steel Wheels

Leave Some Things Behind

2015

[Verse 1]
Sit me down this old guitar
Make it speak to me
I don't wanna breathe until it sings
I don't wanna breathe until it sings to me
[Verse 2]
Spider-web cracks and hard to tune
Bundle your bags and hit the moon
I don't wanna breathe until it sings
I don't wanna breathe until it sings to me
[Chorus 1]
I can hear you, but we're outa tune
And I don't know if I can sing along
I don't know if I can sing along
I don't know enough to sing along
[Verse 3]
There's a red dress goin' to France, I guess
I'm still waitin' for the dance I missed
I don't wanna breathe until it sings
I don't wanna breathe until it sings to me
[Verse 4]
And there's a little bird on the branch again
Waitin' for the song that never ends
I don't wanna breathe until she sings
I don't wanna breathe until she sings to me
[Chorus 2]
You don't own me, but you can release me
We can't borrow if it's gone for good
We can't borrow if it's gone for good
We can't borrow love if it's gone for good
[Verse 5]
There's still life inside the wood
String it up, the neck is good
I don't wanna breathe until it sings
I don't wanna breathe until it sings to me
[Verse 6]
So sit me down this old guitar
Make it speak to me
I don't wanna breathe until it sings
I don't wanna breathe until it sings to me
