Sing 'Em Good My Friend
Kenny Chesney

He was selling an old guitar and I bought it

I saw her smiling picture in his wallet

He said I call her 'baby' but her Christian name is Charlotte


She spends her days downtown hooked up to some machine

They say time can heal but time can't heal everything

The Lord's gonna take her home real soon flying on angel's wings


I'm gonna cry right now and that's ok

We're all gonna die someday

You won't remember a single word I'm trying to say


It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control

She's all I got left I'm sellin everything I own

There's no good in a goodbye it's the beginning of the end

I left some songs in this guitar

Sing 'em good my friend


This old guitar and case has been in a million bars

Been a fools disciple miss dance recitles

And the birth of every child

Honestly honesty never goes out of style

So sing the pain my friend


So the world see's her as just desperate grey and old

All I see is my true love my heart my life my soul

At least for one more night, I got a beautiful wrinkled hand to hold

So sing the truth my friend


I'm gonna cry right now and that's ok

We're all gonna die someday

You won't remember a single word I'm tryin to say


It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control

She's all I got left I'm selling everthing I own

There's no good in a goodbye it's the beginning of the end

I left some songs in this guitar

Sing em good my friend


Well I cried when I got in my truck so I put on my shades

Looked up at the crimson sky as the sun began to fade

And for the first time in a long time I swear

I think I prayed
