Description
This version of Bury Me With My Guitar is a stripped down acoustic version of a song I originally wrote and recorded a few years ago in my home studio and is featured on my album titled "Wash My Blues Away". This is a male/female duet. The female vocal on the recording is my sister and partner in Left Coast Country, Karen Valdez. The song has touched many a guitar player who has heard it, either on the original recording, a live show, or just sitting around jamming.
Lyrics
No, I'm never ending up that way Too old and tired to pick it up and play Though I never was a star Please bury me with my guitar, but not today Some grow old, don't know what to do I'll do fine, 'long as I have you To brighten up my gloomy day Light the fire and lead the way, lead the way It's enough, to know you'll never turn and walk away You'll be here with me until my dying day Bury me with my guitar, but not today I was young, you were just passing through Caught in the moment, changed our point of view Uncharted miles, uncounted years Nowhere else for me but here, with you Say our good mornings, like we always do After all, I still enjoy the view The finest years I've ever known And my, how the fire has surely grown, surely grown It's enough, to know you'll never turn and walk away You'll be here with me until my dying day Bury me with my guitar, but not today Others like ourselves, let it slip away Never claim it for their own Sad when they become, a shell of what they were And forgotten who they are No, I'm never ending up that way Too old and tired to pick it up and play Though I never was a star Please bury me with my guitar, but not today
