When I was a little boy I really wanted to be Singing on stage like Johnny Cash or Elvis Presley. A tennis racket for guitar And a hairbrush microphone. I'd sing love me tender And green green grass of home. My dreams of really makin' big lacked a lot of needed noise. Had to get me a real guitar And put away those toys. There's Not a lot of money for a fifteen year old kid. Headed to the west end of town is exactly what I did.
Chorus:
And bought me that pawn shop six string Got you at the pawn and loan. Laid down twenty dollars I was free to take you home. You probably didn't know it, But I feel scratched up too. Guess I'm just a pawn shop six string myself. Pawn shop six string, Oh the places you took me. Playin' guitar in raunchy bars for a burger and a drink. You probably didn't know it, but I feel scratched up too. Guess I'm just a pawn shop six string myself.
Verse 2:
I brought you home on the city bus And headed for my room. The lyrics started coming, We turned them into tunes. We wrote all about the girls I loved. The heartaches and the joys. To us, it sounded really good. To Mom, just a bunch of noise. Lots of scratches and a messed up bridge And frets that made me bleed. You were used...seemed very old. To a young boy like me. Many years later, I'm playing with new guitars. Writing songs that never get heard from the bottom of my heart.
Chorus:
Pawn Shop six string Got you at the pawn and loan. Laid down twenty dollars I was free to take you home. You probably didn't know it, But I feel scratched up too. Guess I'm just a pawn shop six string myself. Pawn shop six string, Oh the places you took me. Playin' guitar in raunchy bars for a burger and a drink. You probably didn't know it, but I feel scratched up too. Guess I'm just a pawn shop six string myself.
Bridge:
Just once I'd like the world to hear. What that old guitar and I've been up to all these years.
Chorus:
Pawn Shop Six String Got you at the pawn and loan. Laid down twenty dollars I was free to take you home. Guess you didn't know it, But I feel scratched up too. Guess I'm just a pawn shop six string myself. Pawn shop six string, Oh the places you took me. Playin' guitar in raunchy bars for a burger and a drink. You probably didn't know it, but I feel scratched up too. Guess I'm just a pawn shop six string myself.
