lyrics

Well I was like 14 years when I got my first guitar
It took me two years beggin for it before my father showed some heart then a tiny amp and a cheap six-string
brought perspective to my life
and I escaped from that place that wasn't home enough for me

Ten years later my heart's still pumping just for this
cuz I know no better feeling than this energy is giving me
All the friends we have made and the shows we have played
it was worth it all the while.
Every second that we spent following our hearts
payed off double in the end
This is a life long dedication to the shelter I found in this
and all that thanks to my first guitar

Reminiscing 'bout younger days, my life in this one horse town
I got a guitar from my grandma and I was instantly bound
I started a band to express myself, amplify my love and hate
this tool still serves me best whether I feel bad or great

Upstairs in bed sleepless, listened instead to every low frequency
came from the cellar of our house went into everything I'm now
Damn, I owe you one, oh brother
