Lyrics
my martin guitar
gonna leave this town...start a brand new life...now i can move on...settled with my ex wife...there's a job waiting way out west...in a honky tonk bar...she took everything...but this old guitar.
chorus
well.. thank god for my martin..she's the prettiest thing i've ever held...by far....my ex wife just didn't know...it was worth a lot of dough...so thank god for my martin guitar.
verse
now her and i never really did get along...i'd play my guitar all night long...it's the reason we divorced..she got everything including the car...yea...she just left me...this old guitar.
repeat chorus
ah..funny how things sometimes work out.....well i guess that's what life is all about....got my martin appraised by the auction man...he said it was worth fifty grand...now she's the prettiest thing....to hold in my hand.
repeat chorus
well thank god....for my martin guitar.
