These rusty guitar strings
They don't play like they should
The times come for changing

They gave all they could

And you used to hold me

Like I was going off to war
But now no one's left standing
I can't fight anymore


So go on without me
Go on your own

I'll think about you
But I'm not about to
Go on alone


You're so quick to judge me
And kick when I'm down

You laugh at my music
But you still hang around


Well go on without me
And go on your own
I'll think about you

But I'm not about to
Go on alone


So gather your records
Gather your pride
And keep your convictions

So warm at your side

Just leave my door open

Cause as you walk out the whole world's walking in
When I swap out these old strings
And start singing again


So go on without me
Go on your own

I might think about you
But I'm not about to go on alone


I'll think about you
But I'm not about to
Go on alone


These rusty guitar strings
They gave all they could
