Second Fiddle To An Old Guitar

Second Fiddle To An Old Guitar - Jean Shepard

Written by：Betty Amos

Once we were so happy you were my very own

But then you bought that guitar and you ruined our happy home

You told me that you're gonna pick you're gonna be a star

I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an old guitar

You gaze at that guitar on your knee

In a way that you ain't never looked at me

This love affair of yours has gone too far

And I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an old guitar

You said it wouldn't be long till you'd be number one

That we'd have lots of money and we'd have lots of fun

Well all you've done is pick and grin and sing all piece so far

I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an old guitar

You gaze at that guitar on your knee

In a way that you ain't never looked at me

This love affair of yours has gone too far

And I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an old guitar

I've talked and preached and fought with you

And tried most everything

If you keep pickin' that old guitar

Then I'm a gonna sing
