In days gone by but not forgotten
I plowed in the fields and I pulled in the cotton
Things you'd never think I've
I pick and sing and they think I'm a star
but every time I look down at my old guitar
I know I'm just six strings away
I drive a new Royce Rolls buy them tailor made
clothes how long will good times stay
A poor boy ways and hard time days just
I met a girl bout a year ago in a little
country town where I played a show
And though I love her I still
wonder just what she'd do
If I laid that old guitar down how
long would she hang around
Or is she just six strings away
Well them six little strings buy rings and
good things but how long would she stay
If she knew poor boy ways and and hard time
days just six strings away
