In a house on a hill with a rise above the river
And the dogs out back diggin’ up some bones from who knows when
Sittin’ on the drive with the window down, an old Mercedes Benz
Age wears you in like a fine glass o’ wine on a late September
Old guitar
Never got too far
Strummin’ on them heartstrings
Like you always are
In a door downstairs to a room below the cellar
With a hum up top driftin’ like some song from who knows when
Sippin’ on your wine from a paper cup, ain’t no Chardonnay
Age wears you in like a fine glass o’ wine on a late September (day)
Old guitar
Never got too far
Strummin’ on them heartstrings
Like you always are
Strum, strummin’ that old guitar
Nobody knows who you are
Strummin’ that old guitar
Nobody knows who you are
