George Strait — Old Violin

[Verse 1] Well I can't recall one time in my life I've felt as lonely as I do tonight I feel like I could lay down and get up no more It's the damndest feeling, I never felt it before [Chorus] Tonight, I feel like an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again [Verse 2] Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say I only wish this feeling would just go away I guess it's 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I've ever faced 'Cause you just can't change the truth in the slightest way I tried [Verse 3] So I asked myself I said, "George, where do you go from here?" Then like a fool, I turned around and I looked in the mirror [Chorus] And there, I was seeing an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again [Verse 4] So one more time, just to be sure I said, "Now, Troubadour, where in the hell do you go from here?" And you know, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference When I looked into the mirror [Chorus] 'Cause there, I was seeing an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again [Verse 5] And just like that, it hit me Why that old violin and I, we're just alike We give our all to music, and soon we'll give our life [Outro] Precious memories, how they linger, ooh
