Off the Record Songtext
von Zane Lewis

Learned my first guitar lick
Playin′ along with
The intro to "Ramblin' Fever"
I played it with pride
Just like it was mine
And hoped no one listened to Haggard
′Cause I stole it right off the record

Tenth grade, my first love
Too scared to speak up
So I wrote my love down in a letter
I used my own pen
But the chorus from "When You Say Nothing at All"
Helped me get her
Yeah, I got it right off the record


So this one goes out to the songs I grew up to
The best teachers I can remember
Some things in this life are done right the first time
Yeah, they can't be said any better
So I took it right off the record

So tonight in this bar
With this broken heart
Doin' my best to forget her
Don′t blame it on me
If I just sit here and drink
And drown in this old whiskey river
′Cause I learned it right off the record

So this one goes out to the songs I grew up to
The best teachers I can remember
Some things in this life are done right the first time
Yeah, they can't be said any better
So I took it right off the record

Learned my first guitar lick
Playin′ along with
The intro to "Ramblin' Fever"
