Play Guitar Play lyrics - Charley Pride

(originally by Conway Twitty)

Play, guitar play

Take me back to yesterday

Let me see cotton growin' in the fields

Let me hear my momma callin' 

"Look a yon-der y'all who's comin'! 

Down the road, he's comin' home!" 

But they know I never will. 

I left them livin' with that awful thang I done

I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run

Play guitar play

Help me through another day. 

Help me make another dollar before I go

We got time for one more song

Then we'll have to move along

Another town another crowd

Lord I wonder if they know

Can they read between the lines in my songs 

As I sing about a good boy, that went wrong 

Guitar we got years to kill

Got to climb that distant hill 

I wonder if they think of me.
