I can't recall one time in my life I've felt as lonely as I do tonight I feel like I could lay down and get up no more It's the damndest feeling I never felt it before
Tonight I feel like an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again Don't ask me why I feel like this I can't say I only wish this feeling would just go away
I guess it's cause the truth is the hardest thing I ever faced Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way cause I tried So I asked myself where'd you go from here Then like a damned fool I turned around and looked in the mirror And there I was seein' an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again
So one more time just to be sure I asked myself where in the world do you go from here And there was a nickel worth of difference when I looked in the mirror Cuse there I was seein' an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again
And just like that it hit me that old violin and I were just alike We'd give our all to country music and soon we'd give our life
