Close but No Guitar Songtext
von Toby Keith

I′d sing the harmonies and Dixie sang the melody
And we sing a little off key sometimes
But we had some fun, son of a gun
I wonder if I ever even cross her mind

Then she ran away with Billy Bovine
He was a flat top guitar pickin' friend o′ mine
And now I'm just sittin' home just countin′ the stars
I got close but no guitar

I got close but no guitar
She was a shooting star
Who ran off with a guitar pickin′ friend o' mine
She′s really on her way
I hear her records every day
I got close but no guitar


I still play piano bars, still drive that same ol' car
I live in that little shack in Tupelo
Dixie is the queen of Billboard Magazine
Playin′ 'cross the country doin′ one night shows

A man walks up with a dollar in his hand
Says let me hear the song by Dixie and the guitar man
And as the dollar falls to the bottom of my jar
I get close but no guitar

I got close but no guitar
She was a shooting star
Who ran off with a guitar pickin' friend o' mine
She′s really on her way
I hear her records every day
I got close but no guitar

I got close but no guitar
She was a shooting star
Who ran off with a guitar pickin′ friend o' mine
She′s really on her way
I hear her records every day
I got close but no guitar
