Old Violin Songtext
von Daryle Singletary feat. Johnny Paycheck

I can′t recall one time in my life
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight
I feel that I could lay down, and get up no more
It′s the damnest feelin', I've 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, hell, I can′t say
I only wish this feelin' would just go away

I guess it′s 'cause the truth
Is the hardest thing I′ve ever faced
'Cause you can′t change the truth
In the slightest way, 'cause I've tried


So I asked myself
"Where do you go from here?"
And then like a fool
I turned around and I looked in the mirror

And there I was seeing 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′s when a nickel′s worth the difference
When I looked in the mirror

'Cause 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′ll give our life
