Life has a funny way of keeping me on my toes Oh how my shoulders ache under the weight of my woes My tears fall on my old guitar And I just wail and weep over softly bending strings Lovers and friends the same, everyone's fair game Everyone can hurt your heart when it all falls apart My tears fall on my old guitar Time and time again, my surest friend My tears fall on my old guitar And I just wail and weep over softly bending strings No matter where I go, the music guides my soul Through all the ups and downs, it can help turn me around My tears fall on my old guitar And I just wail and weep over softly bending strings *
