I can't recall one time in my life
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight
I feel like I could lay down and get up no more
It's the damndest feeling I never felt it before

Tonight I feel like an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
Don't ask me why I feel like this I can't say
I only wish this feeling would just go away

I guess it's cause the truth is the hardest thing I ever faced
Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way cause I tried
So I asked myself where'd you go from here
Then like a damned fool I turned around and looked in the mirror
And there I was seein' an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again

So one more time just to be sure
I asked myself where in the world do you go from here
And there was a nickel worth of difference when I looked in the mirror
Cuse there I was seein' an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again

And just like that it hit me that old violin and I were just alike
We'd give our all to country music and soon we'd give our life
