"Till It's Gone" lyrics

After all this time I can still remember
It was on display in that pawn shop window
All I ever wanted was sitting right there
That 1972 electric blue Fender guitar

Learned every song from Waylon to Zeppelin
We must've played every bar from Charlotte to Destin
That old guitar went missing one night and I
I hate to admit, but I sat down and I cried...

You don't know what you've got till it's gone, till it's
Nothing more than a memory in the back of your head like a song,
Don't really feel it till you gotta move on,
You don't know what you've got till it's gone

You come to that age when you feel your world changing
When your friends are getting married and people start leaving
The day I left I swore I'd never look back
But looking back on those days I've been thinking that...

You don't know what you've got till it's gone, till it's
Nothing more than a memory in the back of your head like a song,
Don't really feel it till you gotta move on,
You don't know what you've got till it's gone
(Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh)

There's always that girl that you let walk away,
Should have swallowed my pride, should have begged her to stay
I haven't seen Sara in God knows when
But when I close my eyes I can feel her in my arms again

You don't know what you've got till it's gone, till it's
Nothing more than a memory in the back of your head like a song,
Don't really feel it till you gotta move on,
You don't know what you've got till it's gone
(Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh)
Till it's gone, yeah
