Jeff Carson Get A Guitar Lyrics

Get A Guitar Lyrics

I grew up out on the rural [Incomprehensible]

There was one road there and there was one road out

From the very first time he set me on his knee

There was one thing daddy always said to me



Get a guitar, start a band

It's is somethin' worth doin' with your two hands

If you wanna get ahead, son, here's the ticket

Get a guitar and learn how to pick it



Soon as I was old enough to hold my own

You send away the sears for a silver tone

I played for the cows, played for the chickens

I could hear them pickin' will I was a kickin'



He said, get a guitar, start a band

It's somethin' worth doin' with your two hands

If you wanna get ahead, son, here's the ticket

Get a guitar and learn how to pick it



Billy got some drums and Bobby got the bass

I got a used spender with a worn out case

I knew just as soon as I plugged it in

I'll never break sweat on that farm again



Yeah, I played it out of bands at the Silly House Goon

I played it down and I played it cool

I saw that night what'd daddy meant

And I ain't quit playin' this guitar since



Yeah, daddy said, get a guitar, start a band

It's somethin' worth doin' with your two hands

If you gonna get ahead, son, here's the ticket

Get a guitar and learn how to pick it

I got a guitar and learned how to pick it, oh yeah
