Lyrics

Remember a time when you were standing by my side
Motherfuckers couldn't fuck with me, and they still wonder why
I could chop 'em down to size without even a second thought
Now you've gone and that's all changed, yeah
I can't sing the blues when you're not with me
I can't write a line; I'm at a loss for words
I can't play my goddamn guitar now that you're gone
Oh no, I can't, no I can't play guitar
