American Guitars Lyrics

They were failing dutifully

 If youre going to fail at all

 Failing came more easily

 Than it did to us all

 And i wanted to be there

 See them begin

 It was easy to see they were

 The best band to be in

 I gave up drugging

 When you spiked my drink

 Stopped freeloading

 When i could not get in

 I gave up singing

 When i was told

 I could not dance

 Knew my place in the world

 When i heard them start

 

 Woke up on sunday morning

 With a hole

 The size of my pool

 Couldnt believe

 Id grown so ugly

 Couldnt believe

 Id been so cruel

 I shouldve set back

 Thought about their past

 East coast to west coast

 How theyd struggled

 For their art

 

 Some people

 Were born to write

 Some people

 Were born to dance

 Thought i knew my place in the world

 Thought i knew my art

 Glad to be there, see them begin

 It was easy to see

 They were the best band to be

 American guitars...
