Song Description

Singer finds renewed inspiration when he uses the guitar that was willed to him by an old friend

Lyrics

I dusted off your old guitar
Rusty strings are hard to tune
It took me back to your garage
Those days ended way too soon
I can't believe it's been so long since we sat and wrote a song

Music is the spirit
We both could understand
I wish you were here to hear it
It's taken twenty years without you
To live the dream that we began

You always had the answers
Believed that we could do it all
Then the question came to cancer
I could only watch your ashes fall
My direction died with you my friend
But in these chords it lives again

Music is the spirit
We both could understand
I wish you were here to hear it
It's taken twenty years without you
To live the dream that we began

I still can hear your lyrics
Your melody still sings
Only now do I see clearly
As these fingers play the strings on your guitar

Music is the spirit
We both could understand
I wish you were here to hear it
It's taken twenty years without you
To live the dream that we began

I picked up your old guitar
Sat down and wrote this song
