Well, I can't recall one time in my life
I felt as lonely as I do tonight
I feel like I could lay down
And get up no more
It's the damnedest feeling
I never felt it before
Tonight I feel
Like an old violin
Like an old violin
So I can't recall one time in my life
Soon to be put away
And never played again
Don't ask me why I feel like this
The hell I can't say
I only wish this feeling
Would just go away
I guess it's cause of truth
Is the only way
The hardest thing
I've ever faced
Cause you just can't change the truth
In the slightest way
I tried
So I asked myself
I said, George
Where do you go from here?
And like a fool
I turned around
And I looked in the mirror
And there I was seeing
An old violin
Soon to be put away
And never played again
And there I was seeing
An old violin
So one more time
Just to be sure
I said, now, troubadour
Where in the hell
Do you go from here?
And you know there wasn't
A nickel's worth of difference
When I looked in the mirror
Cause there I was seeing
An old violin
Soon to be put away
And never played again
And just like that it hit me
Why that old violin and I
Were just alike
We give our all to music
And soon
We'll give our life
Precious memories
How they linger
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
