Lyrics

My New Friend

I remember daddy handing me ... his Old Guitar
He said if you stick to it ... it can take you far
So, I spent my days with my new friend
Just me and my friend named Martin

My new friend ... Daddy's old Guitar
It was a beauty ... without a scar
A custom case ... to place him in
Daddy introduced me to my new friend

I learned to play ... all those bluegrass pearls
Songs from Ralph and Carter ... Lester and Earl
Fiddle tunes from Kenny, songs from Bill Monroe
Like Jerusalem Ridge and Footprints in the snow

My new friend ... Daddy's old Guitar
It was a beauty ... without a scar
A custom case ... to place him in
Daddy introduced me to my new friend

Daddy was so right ... about his old guitar
For over the years ... it has taken me very far
All the places I've played, the songs I've learned
I've travelled all around this whole wide world

My new friend ... Daddy's old Guitar
It was a beauty ... without a scar
A custom case ... to place him in
Daddy introduced me to my new friend
