lyrics
(instrumental) Pawn shop, Lubbock, nineteen years old, eighty dollars The man said it was worth sixty and he was correct I've been offered nine thousand for it twice since then (twice since then) Both men were being generous and both were wrong A better guitar plays what you tell it (what you tell it) This one argues, and the argument is the song Eighty dollars (eighty dollars) Best money anybody ever spent on anything Eighty dollars It buzzes on the third fret and it tells the truth My daughter asked me to teach her on it last spring Handed it over and my hands did not want to Thirty seconds of ugly selfishness, hidden badly (hidden badly) Then she played four chords and I got over myself (solo, buzzing third fret) She'll get it eventually. Not yet. Eventually. And it'll still buzz. That's the inheritance. (BAND BACK IN) Eighty dollars (eighty dollars) Best money anybody ever spent on anything Eighty dollars It buzzes on the third fret and it tells the truth (eighty dollars...)
