Conway Twitty – Play Guitar Play lyrics

Play, guitar play
Take me back to yesterday
Let me see, cotton growing, in the fields
Let me hear, my momma calling
Look a-yonder ya’ll who’s coming
Down the road, he’s a coming home
But they know I never will.

I left them living with that awful thing I done
I didn’t tell them I just packed my clothes and run.

Play, guitar play
Help me through another day
Help me make another dollar, before I go
We got time, for one more song
Then we’ll have to move along
Another town, another crowd
Lord, I wonder if they know.

Can they read between the lines in my song
As I sing about a good boy that’s went wrong
Guitar we got years to kill
We got to climb that distant hill
I wonder if they think of me.
(Guitar play)…
