Lyrics

Well, my truck's broke down, and my job's gone south,
Ain't got much left but the words in my mouth,
She took the house, she took my dog.
I’m living a country song.

When bills stack up and shit gets deep.
When I’ve lost my mind, can't find no sleep,
In the corner over there, is a friend I know well,
An old six-string I’d never sell.

[Chorus]
When my world goes dark and the nights get long,
I strum my guitar, and it don't take long,
I write myself another song.
These silver strings, they patch my heart,
Hold me together when I'm fallin' apart.


Every chord I play, every note I find,
It leads the way to my peace of mind,
From the crack of dawn to the midnight moon,
Just me and my guitar in this empty room.

[Chorus]
When my world goes dark and the nights get long,
I strum my guitar, and it don't take long,
I write myself another song.
These silver strings, they patch my heart,
Hold me together when I'm fallin' apart.

Don’t need the whiskey to sing these blues,
my guitar’s all I choose.
