Lyrics
I found her there on a pawnshop wall
Between an Ibanez and an Epiphone
Covered in dust, she only had four strings
I took her home and I cleaned her up
Bought new strings, straightened her truss
She wasn't pretty, but she was beautiful to me
She's gotten me through thick and thin
Every situation I've been in
She don't take the hurt, just lets it out
Through Skynyrd, Cash, Waylon and Combs
She leaves the scars, but heals my bones
Without her, I'd be gone
This pawnshop guitar saved my life
She was there when I couldn't sleep
Cause somewhere inside there was a melody
That needed to be played, needed me to hear
She was there the day that I met my wife
And I know damn well that she caught her eye
'Cause she didn't fall in love, with just me
She's gotten me through thick and thin
Every situation I've been in
She don't take the hurt, just lets it out
Through Skynyrd, Cash, Waylon and Combs
She leaves the scars, but heals my bones
Without her, I'd be gone
This pawnshop guitar saved my life
The day my son died,
I tried to make a deal with The Devil
"Take me instead, he's only 21"
And I've had low days
I didn't wanna live with the grief
But somehow, this guitar keeps me breathing
She's gotten me through thick and thin
Every situation I've been in
She don't take the hurt, just lets it out
Through Skynyrd, Cash, Waylon and Combs
She leaves the scars, but heals my bones
Without her, I'd be gone
This pawnshop guitar saved my life
This pawnshop guitar saved my life
Saved my life
