There's at least part (if not all of it) at: Second Fiddle To An Old Guitar. (Btw, if you're searching, the name is Shepard)

Transcribed from the sound file at the Record Lady's site:

SECOND FIDDLE (TO AN OLD GUITAR)
(Betty Amos)

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 playing second fiddle to an old guitar.

CHORUS: 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 playing second fiddle to an old 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
And I'm tired of playing second fiddle to an old guitar. CHORUS

I've talked and preached and fought with you and tried 'most ever'thing
If you keep a-picking that old guitar, then I'm a-going to sing.
[Yodeling.]

[As sung by Jean Shepard.]
