Came from out California way
Beat up Tele from the black guard days
Thin skin sprayed and some Abby wounds
Tato carved the neck Leo loved the sound

Young guns and old guitars
His heart to its back
They've come this far
See the crowds
They've become big stars
A young gun and an old guitar
Yeah young guns and old guitars
Young guns and old guitars

He came from up in East Tennessee
Opening for the Possum at the age of 14
Bluegrass hands and a rock and roll heart
He said this feels good right from the start

Young guns and old guitars
His heart to its back
They've come this far
See the crowds
They've become big stars
A young guns and an old guitar
Yeah, young guns and old guitars
Young guns and old guitars
Some nights he takes his cue
With one made up in Kalamazoo
Or a cannon from Nazareth
Crank out a few
Or bring Chet's Gretsch sound to me and you
Yeah they do it all for me and you
Young guns and old guitars
His heart to its back
They've come this far
See the crowds
They've become big stars
A young guns and an old guitar
Yeah young guns and old guitars
Young guns and old guitars"
