I sold my guitar today
for a hundred dollar bill
I didn't play too much anyway
it was no big deal
he played it better than I did
it gave me nothing but bad luck
why did I go and do that

I sold my guitar today
for a hundred dollar bill
I guess I needed some extra cash
wow a hundred bucks goes fast
he's gonna give it a good home
and teach it things that I can't
so why am I so upset

one day I'll find another
and it will last forever
and we'll ride off into the sunburst

he played it better than i did
it gave me nothing but bad bad luck
I guess I'll never be famous now
