Goshdarn Geet

I been fiddlin on this thing for one hundred twenty days

It seems like it just got nothin good to say

I strum and strum all day long

And nothing happens but noise

All I wanna do is play one song

Try to keep up with the boys

But no notes are coming out right

Its sure putting up a fight

I'll try something new

Press a little harder

But thats got my fingers feeling blue

And I'm no music martyr

So I'll take a ****

And see if the strings turn to smoke

And 'course they don't

But I'll keep playing

til' my fingies fall off

Or my calluses turn to leather

Cuz it can rain or pour

These strings just gotta soar

Don't really care if my songs a bore

At least my foots in the door.
