Emma Jeans Guitar lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Emma Jean s Guitar lyrics I found it in a pawn shop in a ragged cardboard case With the guns and dusty watches it looked so out of place With a Trailways baggage sticker yellow frayed and torn Destination Nashville September 64 [Chorus:] And you could tell by the fingerboard her painted nails were long She only needed three chords to play those good ole country songs And her name s etched in the finish like a fading battle scar And this 1950 Gibson was Emma Jean s guitar I wonder if she played it in a small town talent show With her hair teased to perfection in a dress her mamma sewed And for a little inspiration she pasted on a star Here up on the head stock of Emma Jean s guitar [Chorus] I wouldn t even know her if I saw her face to face But there s a little bit of Emma Jean in every song I play She passed along these hopes and dreams cradled in my arms And I am just a guardian of Emma Jean s guitar [Chorus] song lyrics
