lyrics

THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT YOUR SWEET GUITAR

I wept all night when I forgot my axe
Down in New Orleans at the One-Eyed Jack's
And that's no way to treat your sweet guitar

She's a patient gal, I drag her place to place
Loyal even when I leave her in her case
But that's no way to treat your sweet guitar
That's no way to treat your sweet guitar

I give her talk-back flak for her rusty old strings
Then put her in a dusty corner like another dirty thing
And that's no way to treat your sweet guitar

I yell you're just like me, you only buckle and bruise
Why don't you give up on me like I give up on you
And that's no way to treat your sweet guitar

That's no way to treat your sweet guitar
That's no way to treat your sweet guitar

I could tie you up on a railroad track
Take my leave on you and never look back
But that's no way to treat your sweet guitar

I could shut my trap, I could fight to be free
I could do unto you like I think you're doing unto me
But that's no way to treat your sweet guitar

I spend my time getting in your head
Keep my mind on you, leave myself for dead
But that's no way to treat my sweet guitar

Or I could keep my eyes on the heavens above
While I try to be holy and deny our lowly love
But that's no way to treat your sweet guitar

That's no way to treat each other baby
That's no way to treat your sweet guitar
