[Verse 1]
In days gone by, but not forgotten
I worked in a bill and I pulled in the cotton
Things you never think I done if you see me now
I play, sing, and act like a star
But every time I look down at my borrowed guitar
I know I'm just six strings away from that same old plow

[Chorus 1]
I'm playin' Nashville shows
Wearin' hipster clothes
But how long will good times stay?
Well now, a poor boy [?]
[?] day
Just six strings away

[Verse 2]
I met a girl seven years ago
In somewhere hick town where I played a show
And though I love her
You know I wonder just what she'd do
If I laid this old guitar down
Just how long would she stay around?
Or is she just six strings away from someone new?

[Chorus 2]
Yeah these six little string
Buy drinks and new things
But how long will she stay?
Is she [?]
[?] days
Just six strings away
Well now, [?]
[?] days
Just six strings away
