American Guitars

They were failing dutifully
If you're going to fail at all
Failing came more easily
Than it did to us allAnd I wanted to be there
See them begin
It was easy to see them
They were the best band to be inI gave up drugging
When you spiked my drink
Stopped freeloading
When I could not get inI gave up singing
When I was told I could not dance
Knew my place in the world
When I heard them startAmerican guitars
American guitars
American guitars
American guitarsWoke up on Sunday morning
With a hole the size of my pool
Couldn't believe I've grown so ugly
Couldn't believe I've been so cruelI should've set back
Thought about their past
East coast to west coast
How they've struggled for their artSome people are born to write
Some people are born to dance
Thought I knew my place in the world
Thought I knew my artGlad to be there
See them begin
It was easy to see them
They were the best band to beAmerican guitars
