SONG LYRICS;

Found you in the corner of a secondhand store

Dust on your body, but you still wanted more

Neck a little crooked, strings worn thin

But I felt that fire the moment I walked in

Mama said, “Boy, that thing’s seen better days”

I said, “That’s alright, I like it that way”

Took you home, plugged into a beat-up amp

First chord hit...man, it lit a lamp

Yeah you buzzed, yeah you cried

But you sang when I tried

Hey! You were my first six strings

My midnight ride, my everything

Hey! Still hear you ring

Oh-oh-oh, my first six strings

Blisters on my fingers, couldn’t put you down

Neighbors yelling “turn that racket down!”

Learning every riff from the radio waves

Playing like a fool, but I felt like a king on stage

You didn’t care if I missed a note

You carried every dream I ever wrote

Scratches on your face, stories in your wood

Yeah, you made me feel misunderstood… but good

Every wrong turned right

Every dark got light

Hey! You were my first six strings

My midnight ride, my everything

Hey! Still hear you ring

Oh-oh-oh, my first six strings

(Slap that groove)

You and me, we learned to shout

Turn it up, don’t fade it out

Crackling amp and a heartbeat loud

We didn’t need no fancy crowd

Yeah! // SOLO //

Hey! First six strings!

Made me shout, made me sing!

Hey! Hear that ring!

Oh-oh-oh!

Now I got guitars lined up on the wall

Shiny and new, yeah I played ‘em all

But none of ‘em hit like that first chord did

On that beat-up dream from when I was a kid

Yeah…

Oh-oh-oh! First six strings!

Oh-oh-oh! Still hear you ring!
