I can't recall one time in my life
 
 I've felt as lonely as I do tonight
 
 I feel like I could lay down and get up no more
 
 It's the damndest feeling I 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 I can't say
 
 I only wish this feeling would just go away
  
 
 I guess it's cause the truth is the hardest thing I ever faced
 
 Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way cause I tried
 
 So I asked myself where'd you go from here
 
 Then like a damned fool I turned around and looked in the mirror
 
 And there I was seein' 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 was a nickel worth of difference when I looked in the mirror
 
 Cuse 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'd give our life
