I'm just an old guitar in the pawn shop on the corner And I'm waiting for somebody to come by and play me now and then My strings are kinda rusty and I'm a little dusty Oh but you'd be to if you'd been where I've been I did some shows with FLATT back in 1971 And one more time I'd love to Roll in Some Sweet Baby's Arms Chorus I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner Hey come on by and listen to my song Wow, Lester Flatt I saw him just a few times when Kenny Ingram played the banjo with the Nashville Grass I've seen at least a million little honky tonks and fairgrounds I've help to heal some heartaches And I've helped to shed some tears And the last one that held me Just couldn't wait to sell me And for twenty dollars left me hanging here Chorus But I dream about the spotlight And the roaring of the people And I wonder if I'm ever, gonna hear 'em sing along I'm just a banjo in the pawn shop on the corner Hey come on by and listen to my song One night at Bean Blossom, Reno picked me up and played Charlotte Breakdown Don Reno? And Sonny needed help at the Opry one night and I was on stage for Rocky Top with him and Bobby You know, Doc was at the Ash Grove in California, and played a set with me and we showed the Hollywood folks what flatpicking was Doc Watson was the coolest! Chorus I've got a lot of memories And a song or two left in me And someday, someone will pick me up And play me back home I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner Hey come on by and listen to my song Tag Oh I'm just a banjo in the pawn shop on the corner Hey come on by and listen to my song Just come back by and listen to our song I also heard that Del played you a few nights at the Ryman back when he was with Monroe
