Story behind the song
My mom taught me to play the only 2 chords she knew and how to sing harmony with her when I was 12. This was one of the first songs I ever wrote, and I am working on finishing it. It was mixed by Wes at

I am very happy with the work and the communication from Wes and this studio, and would recommend contacting him if you need work done,
Thanks Wes
Lyrics
THIS OLD GUITAR
Letha Allen 1986
It doesnt sound as good
As it did when it was new
Not as good in my hands
As it sounded coming from you
But when I play this old guitar,
I close my eyes and there we are
This old guitar, and me and momma we sing
Now the frets theyre some wore down
Like the varnish on the neck
The Gibsons hard to read
A crack runs down the back
But when this old guitar I play
It takes me back to those sweet days
This old guitar and me and momma still sing
Chorus:
This old guitar
Sings a sweet song
Melody
Of days now past and gone
Strum a chord
On this old guitar
Close my eyes and me and momma sing again
Let the sweet sweet music
Soothe my soul
Chorus:
This old guitar
Sings a sweet song
A melody
Of days now past and gone
Strum a chord
On this old guitar
Close my eyes and me and momma sing again
I close my eyes, and me and momma sing again
