Kenny Chesney - Sing 'Em Good My Friend lyrics

He was selling' an old guitar and I bought it
I saw her smiling' picture in his wallet
He said I call her baby
But her Christian name is, charlotte

She spends her days downtown hooked
Up to some machine they say time can heal
But time can't heal everything
The lord's gonna take her home
Real soon flying' on, angel wings

I'm gonna cry right now and that's okay
We're all gonna die, someday
You won't remember a single word
I'm trying to say

It's all a grand delusion when
You think you're in control
She's all I got left
I'm selling' everything I own
There's no good in a goodbye
It's the beginning of the end
I left some songs in this guitar
Sing Em' Good My Friend

Ah yeah

This old guitar case has been a million miles
Been a fools disciple, missed dance recitals
And the birth of every child
Honestly, honesty never goes out of style
Sing the pain my friend

So the world see's her
As just desperate, gray, and old
All I see is my true love, my heart, my life
My soul at least for one more night I got
A beautiful wrinkled hand to hold
Sing the truth my friend

I'm gonna cry right now and that's okay
We're all gonna die, someday
You won't remember a single word
I'm trying to say

It's all a grand delusion when
You think you're in control
She's all I got left
I'm selling' everything I own
There's no good in a goodbye
It's the beginning of the end
I left some songs in this guitar
Sing Em' Good My Friend

I'm gonna sing the pain away
I'm gonna sing the truth, and then
I'm gonna sing em' good, for my old friend

Well I cried when I got in my truck
So I put on my shades
Looked up at the crimson sky
As the sun began to fade
And for the first time, in a long time
I swear i think I prayed

I'm gonna sing the pain away
I'm gonna sing the truth, and then
I'm gonna sing em' good, for my old friend
Yeah my old friend
