I’ve got grandpa’s beat up guitar It’s got stories that I will never know Some will make you smile, some are better left untold It’s been worn in, fixed and broken It’s got bruises, but ever one was earned Sometimes getting hurt is just the only way you learn But, if I tune it up just right And play it loud and bright The stars will realign And you might understand where I’m coming from I’m not perfect, hardly worth it I’ve got stories that you will never know Some of them are mine, but all the better ones I stole But, if you play your cards just right And open up your eyes You might just see the light And you might understand where I am coming from I am trying to keep on fighting It’s so easy to let ‘em drag you down Will I keep it up when there’s no one else around? There’s no where left to hide I am who I am and I’m doing alright If you just take the time Then you might understand where I am coming from I am my father’s son And I know that he’s proud of the things I have done If you knew the mess I was Then you might understand where I am coming from
