He was selling an old guitar and I bought it I saw her smiling picture in his wallet He said "I call her 'baby' but her Christian name is Charlotte" .
She spends her days downtown hooked up to some machine They say time can heal but time can't heal everything The Lord's gonna take her home real soon flying on angel's wings . I'm gonna cry right now and that's OK We're all gonna die someday You won't remember a single word I'm tryin' to say .
It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control She's all I got left, I'm sellin' everything I own There's no good in a goodbye, it's the beginning of the end I left some songs in this guitar Sing 'em good my friend . This old guitar and case has been in a million bars Been a fool's disciple, missed her dance recitals And the birth of every child Honestly honesty never goes out of style So sing the pain my friend . So the world sees her as just desperate grey and old And all I see is my true love, my heart, my life, my soul At least for one more night, I got a beautiful wrinkled hand to hold So sing the truth my friend . I'm gonna cry right now and that's OK We're all gonna die someday You won't remember a single word I'm tryin' to say .
It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control She's all I got left, I'm sellin' everything I own There's no good in a goodbye, it's the beginning of the end I left some songs in this guitar Sing 'em good my friend I'm gonna sing the pain for me I'm gonna sing the truth for me I'm gonna sing em good for my friend . Well I cried when I got in my truck so I put on my shades Looked up at the crimson sky as the sun began to fade And for the first time in a long time I swear I think I prayed . I'm gonna sing the pain for me I'm gonna sing the truth for me I'm gonna sing em good for my old friend Yeah my old friend .
