Lyrics of Close but no guitar

(toby keith)

I'd sing the harmonies and dixie sang the melody
And we sing a little off key sometimes
But we had some fun, son of a gun
I wonder if i ever even cross her mind

Then she ran away with billy bovine
He was a flat top guitar pickin' friend o' mine
And now i'm just sittin' home just countin' the stars
I got close but no guitar

I got close but no guitar
She was a shooting star
Who ran off with a guitar pickin' friend o' mine
She's really on her way
I hear her records every day
I got close but no guitar

I still play piano bars, still drive that same ol' car
I live in that little shack in tupelo
Dixie is the queen of billboard magazine

Playin' 'cross the country doin' one night shows

A man walks up with a dollar in his hand
Says let me hear the song by dixie and the guitar man
And as the dollar falls to the bottom of my jar
I get close but no guitar

I got close but no guitar
She was a shooting star
Who ran off with a guitar pickin' friend o' mine
She's really on her way
I hear her records every day
I got close but no guitar

I got close but no guitar
She was a shooting star
Who ran off with a guitar pickin' friend o' mine
She's really on her way
I hear her records every day
I got close but no guitar
