SECOND FIDDLE (TO AN OLD GUITAR)
(Betty Amos - Guy Willis)

Once we were so happy you were my very own
Then you bought that guitar and ruined our happy home
You told me that you're gonna pick you're gonna be a star
Well I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an ole guitar

You gaze at that guitar on your knee
In a way that you never look at me
This love affair of yours has gone too far
And I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an ole guitar
[ guitar ] You said it wouldn't be long till you'd be Number One
That we'd have lots of money and we'd have lots of fun
Well all you've done is pick and grin and sing off key so far
I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an ole guitar

You gaze at that guitar on your knee...
I've talked and preached and fought with you and tried most ev'rything
If you keep a pickin' an ole guitar then I'm a gonna sing
