Lyrics
Don't act as though you don't know me
You've aged a little bit too
Was a long time ago that you first throwed me
For the loop that I'm still jumping through
Now wait just a minute that's mine line
This is my bar, why are you here?
Hell yes, it's still on the jukebox
No, nobody's played it in years
Time heals some wounds and others just scar
It's another full moon at The Old Texas Star
And many's the night that I've sat in this bar
And thought how I missed my old Martin guitar
Have you forgotten your birthday?
Was the year that you turned 21
I spent every penny I had girl
Just to write and record you a song
You looked at me like I was crazy
I guess you expected a ring
But the only gift God every gave me
Was the talent to pick and to sing
Time heals some wounds and others just scar...
First I thought you were smiling
Then you just started to laugh
You turned away to another and I threw my gift in the trash
Bartender rescued that record
I was frozen right where I stood
Then I shattered my soul on a fencepost
And splintered this old heart for good
It's nights like this when I'm lonely
And I miss that old friend of mine
Give all I had if I owned it
Could hold that guitar one more time
Time heals some wounds and others just scar...
