6 String Stories

A ponytail smile, a few houses away

Had me so heartsick, first love, seventh grade

I'd write her a note, pretty words that I knew

Folded in torn-up pages of college rule

It was hot and heavy but I wasn't ready

To be tied to one girl that long

She cried when I tried to move on

That's when I wrote my first song

Oh, little moments like that

You can't freeze-frame time and get 'em back

I never did write it down in a diary

Instеad I painted the scenе with a melody

All the smiles, all the scars

Every memory of broken hearts and glory

I tell 'em with my guitar

In six strings stories

Now the wheels turn slow, but years sure fly

My old van with a band went a lot of miles

It took lots of wrongs, to run into right

And somehow a winding road led me to my wife

I never had a doubt, one night I took her out

Umbrella in the pouring down rain

Hit a knee with a diamond ring, yeah

Oh, little moments like that

You can't freeze-frame time and get 'em back

I never did write it down in a diary

But I can paint that scene with a melody

All the smiles, all the scars

Every memory of broken hearts and glory

I tell 'em with my guitar

In six strings stories

In January my son was born

And with happy tears we thanked the Lord

I was overjoyed for all I had

That was just three months before I lost my dad

Oh, little moments like that

You can't freeze-frame time and get it back

I never did write it down in a diary

'Cause I can paint that scene with a melody

All the smiles, all the scars

Every memory of broken hearts and glory

I tell 'em with my guitar

In six strings stories, yeah

There's therapy in guitar

And six strings stories
