I got my first guitar when i turned 13
Daddy said here ya go son, now you can play like me
I got that honkytonk fever deep down in my bones
From that old maple guitar and a good country song
I remember the dry heat and the mojave sand
Just me and that guitar and some old marine friends
And about the only thing that got us through 29 palms
Was an old maple guitar and some good country songs
Lord that old maple guitar gots wood grains of gold
And that good country music just pours from your soul
And it'll echo in the air way till god calls us home
With an old maple guitar and a good country song
"take it up boys"
I was stranded in birmingham and down on my luck
Cause my wife took my money and then a bank took my truck
Oh but theres two things i still have that they better leave alone
Thats that old maple guitar and these good country songs
Lord that old maple guitar gots wood grains of gold
And that good country music it just pours out from the soul
And it'll echo in the air way till god calls me home
With an old maple guitar and a good country song
And a good ole hank williams country song
