Went to the mall the other day
without a penny to my name
I walked into the music shop
ams something made my jaw just drop

there were 5 Washburns standing there
for me to play with if I dared
decided that I'd take a spin
so then I played "Dust in The Wind"

and this blue pony had a ring
that made me really want to sing
with 30 people standing there
but at the time, I didn't care

I reaches the chorus double quick
reached in my pocket, pulled my pick
and sat on a piano seat
this guitar sounded pretty sweet

I dropped my pick and finished up
with sweaty, shaking hands
I placed it back upon it's rest
and pulled one from it's stand

this one was orange, I understood
and didn't quite sound just as good
played Kryptonite, it rang so proud
that I'd attracted quite a crowd

and by this time, I felt so jolly
I picked a red one and played "Polly"
and Enter Sandman on it, too
before I went right back to blue

and when I played "Wish You Were Here"
it almost made me shed a tear
the manager rolled up his sleeves
and I knew it was time to leave
That day I got some good, free practice in, courtesy of "Showtime Music"
