This Guitar Never Lies
Clements-Stonier
Hear me talkin' to you, hear me sing my song
Can you tell if it's really me, if I'm right or if I'm wrong
If I was telling the truth, could you see it in my eyes
Whatever I tell you now, this guitar never lies
It's just a wooden box with holes in, and wires fastened on
Made by a man in Nazareth, Tijuana or Taiwan
And as for the man who plays it, he might be real or otherwise
The only thing you need to know it is, this guitar never lies
Chorus:
Never says forever never lies
However long you pick it, the same old thing applies
There was a man before me, and he was the living proof
Of just how far a boy can go with three chords and the truth
Sure he had his share of lowdown ways you might despise
But everywhere you played they all said, this guitar never lies
Instrumental:
Never says forever never lies
However long you take it, the same old thing applies
The boys are back in town with the stories and the spin
The PR man has made his pitch, so let the show begin
It's the song you've heard before, it's a tale you'll recognize
But anyway you choose to tell it, this guitar never lies
Never lies, never lies
