"J-45" lyrics

I'd walk by every day that storefront window pane
To catch a glimpse of her behind the counter
I'd just turned sixteen, she was my teenage dream
Heaven knew I just had to have her

So in tune with one another, first time we touched each other
Felt like a lifelong love instantly
And I knew that her Maker had to have created her
To be in perfect harmony with me

And we'd sit out in the sun every day
As she rests on my lap, oh, the music we make
Lost in sweet melodies as she sings them back to me
That's when we both come alive
Me and my beautiful J-45

It broke my heart that time I had to leave her behind
When I went away to serve in the army
When my stint was over, I came home to find her
Sitting right there on my bed, waiting for me, and

And we'd sit out in the sun every day
As she rests on my lap, oh, the music we make
Lost in sweet melodies, and as she sings them back to me
That's when we both come alive
Me and my beautiful J-45

And I'm sure we'll be writing songs together
Until the day I leave this world
And I pray that she lives on forever
And brings the same joy she brought me to some other boy or girl

And they'll sit out in the sun every day
As she rests on their laps, oh, the music they'll make
Lost in sweet melodies that float out on the breeze
When those six strings come alive
Oh, my beautiful, my beautiful J-45
My beautiful Gibson Sunburst J-45
