They saved up and bought it for Christmas
And hid that guitar ‘neath his bed
But tragedy struck their son’s 55 ford
And It got forgotten instead
It laid there untouched through the 50’s
Missed out while they built rock n’ roll
While the ventures and buddy holly
Played songs like the one in its soul…while it cried …
Chorus
Play me play there’s magic in my guitar strings
Play me play me somebody let my music ring
In the 60’s it went to the attic
While Jimi Hendrix was breakin’ new ground
No one heard it silently crying
For someone to hear it’s sound
In the 70’s the case just got dusty
But it was perfect like the day it was made
Ones just like it were out getting’ funky
But this guitar still had never even been played
The next thirty some years it lay silent
Till it was opened and it thought now’s my chance
But no collector had ever found one this perfect
So It wound up on a wall behind glass… still cryin’
Chorus
Play me play me won’t somebody let me sing
Play me play me Play me play me somebody let my music ring
Play me play there’s magic in my guitar strings
Play me play me won’t someone let my music ring….
